Residents Charge and Grass Cutting Costs

Fernwood is considered an unfinished ghost estate. Residents are exempt from the €100 charge but must register to claim the waiver.
Two further quotes are due this week for grass cutting. If you would like to propose any company let is know as we will come to you soon for money collection.
Thanks!

Grit and Grass

Hi all!
We have a quote for grass cutting but is a bit steep and we’ll get another quote.
The icy weather has finally come hope everyone safe on the roads. A delivery of grit/salt is due today. Volunteers for spreading will be welcomed!
Happy Christmas to all in Fernwood and hoping 2012 is good to all!
Your ‘Residents group’.

Group meeting

A few of residents met with Clr John Gilroy this evening about reports that Murphy Construction has ‘gone to NAMA’.

The council will not take over maintenance for grass cutting, potholes,leaks, weeding …
So it means we need to pay out for grass cutting and weeding for now. This coupled with a salt supply means that we will need to go door to door again for money.

Our plan is to get a few quotes so if anyone in the estate works in landscaping let us know!
We would also really welcome help in organising this and the money collection and welcome any volunteers. All payments will be receipted and we will give notice in writing to each house when we have a quote.

Because of the change in ownership or responsibility for the estate we also wish to confirm we are only a group of interested residents and do not wish to become a titled association or committee.

Keep us posted on your views. Feel free to leave comments!

Key missing?

Is this your key? Today we had two callers. We met them at the door probably a bit too quickly as they left this key in the door! Maybe they found it and tried to return it or were chancing it. I don’t know but if you lost a key let me know.
