    €40 to get grass cut ouch :) maybe they can't afford it.
    Must be hundreds of houses maybe if it was €5 they would pay.

    €150 in my estate in newport, down from €300 and only 99 houses. Our contract says we don't have to pay until all the houses are sold which will likely not happen for years.

    The Developer for Bruachlan/Grianan is in liquidation. Unless the residents sort it out, It won't be done.

    Unfortunatley, that leads to public liability insurance issues, so that is why a contractor is required. And it has to be one with public liability insurance.

    It can be quite difficult for the residents to sustain the grasscutting themselves especially if there is a large area to maintain, there is usually an initial burst of enthusiasm which will eventually die off leaving one or two poor buggers cutting the grass on their own. During high season the grass will need to be cut every two weeks to keep it looking well. Getting a contractor to do it is the way to go, pay him quarterly by cheque and they will nearly all have PLI, ask for a copy of the Insurance schedule / policy.

    It is to cut the grass for the year and kill the weeds at the kerbs, and it has to be a company with public liability insurance. The Residents Association are trying to get the best quotes possible to have the job done properly.

    They are trying to get as many people from the estates involved as possible. There is an open invitation to anyone in Grianan & Bruaclan to join and help.

    They are also working with Clare County Council in relation to the Council taking over control of the Estate as there are issues with Sewage and Water treatment.

    And finally, working with Nama in relation to the remains of the site offices and the uncompleted houses.

    Additional Information.

    The pumps used to carry sewage from the Chieftain developed estates in Westbury to the Limerick Main Drainage pipe on Athlunkard bridge had stopped working. The Reciever appointed by Nama (Grant Thornton) have now appointed Walsh Environmental Ltd to inspect and maintain this system.

    I don't know if something similar is being done for the McInerney developed estates pump station which sits beside the Chieftain one.

    glad to see that the grass is being cut. disappointed to see cathal using your site to promote himself. a resident association is normally non political.

    So by putting his contact details up he is using the page to promote himself? Would you rather he kept his contact details to himself? I didn't see any of our other councillors posting their details there so that you'd be able to contact them with your queries :mad:

    I contacted him with a query around Westbury and am still waiting to hear back 3 months later, not that I need the answer anymore as I found out the info myself eventually.

    The details of all the Clare County Councillors were on the site, as taken from the Council website. Cathal was correcting his details, as his address was different on the Council website. That post is now no longer there.
