Dear Resident
Thanks for your support in 2015 and we hope that you can be as supportive this year. As outlined in this post, we are holding our AGM at 20:00 on Wed 25 May 2016 in the Newbury Hotel. We would welcome your attendance to bring you up to date on the work completed in 2015.
Ashefield has a website, e-mail address, Twitter account, and a Facebook page to help you keep up to date and to contact us. We encourage you to use these to stay in touch with both the residents association and other residents. The committee comprises of unpaid volunteers – your neighbours, who are willing to spare some time.
With a view to continuing the work the Resident Association Committee Members will be circulating in the coming weeks. We are requesting a contribution of €20 per household (Unchanged from 2015).To make things easier we have also set up a PayPal account on this website www.ashefield.com into which your contribution may be paid.
Cutting the grass in the common area and other minor expenses cost approximately €1515 in 2015. (Accounts available on www.ashefield.com).
Your contribution is very important. It falls back on us as a community to maintain and improve the common areas such as the green areas within the estate. I am sure you will agree that the estates green areas provide both a valuable and relatively safe play area for the estates children and their friends.
We realise that time is precious so therefore we appreciate all and any help you can give. This can involve calling on Tesco to collect abandoned shopping trolleys or picking up litter in your area.
Ashefield Residents’ Association is asking your help with an estate clean up on Saturday May 14th, 2016 starting at 4pm starting in the area of houses 122-130. We would great appreciate residents to volunteer some time – even if you can only spare 30 mins – to help with the following:
We’d like to encourage as many residents as possible to join us on the day. It’s also a great way to get to know your neighbours and the shared tasks will make the job easy on everyone.
Look forward to meeting you on the day. Many thanks.

Dear Resident,
The 2015 Ashefield Residents Annual Fund Raising Collection has commenced. The funds collected are used in the upkeep of the common areas in the estate. The main expense incurred is the grass cutting in the large green areas.
With a view to continuing this work the Resident Association Committee Members have commenced visiting home in the estate requesting a contribution of €20 per household (reduced from €30 in 2013). To make things easier we have a PayPal account on www.ashefield.com into which your contribution may be paid.
(It cost over €1300 to cut the grass and do other minor repairs in 2014. We post details of the accounts on this website
The collection has been well supported in the past and we are sure that we can rely on your support once again this year. We realise that we all have extra pressures due to Household Charge and Property Tax. However despite home owners paying these the County Councils are not providing any additional services. Therefore as always the responsibility falls on all the residents to keep the common areas.
This requests is being made to all residents; be the renting their home or are it’s owner. However if those renting their home feel that this request is better directed to their landlord we would appreciate if they forwarded this note to their landlord.
The 2015 annual general meeting of Ashefield Residents Association will be held in the Newbury Hotel, Mullingar on Wednesday August 5th at 8pm. All are welcome. Further details regarding the agenda will be posted here when available.
