Greenfields Residents Association

To kick start our efforts in this years Pride of Place Competition the Greenfields Residents Association supported by Waterford City Council will hold a number of Street Clean-Up events. We would ask residents living on the particular streets to come out and lend a hand on the day/evening as many hands make light work! Bags, gloves and pickers will be provided.

Street Clean-Ups will take place on the following dates:

• Beech COURT (Wednesday 22nd June 6.30 – 7.30pm)
• Beech PARK (Sunday 26th June 1.00 – 2.00pm)
• Beech DRIVE (Wednesday 29th June 6.30 – 7.30pm)
• Beech GROVE (Wednesday 6th July 6.30pm – 7.30pm) *

* Please Note  Updated Date/Time for Beech Grove Street Clean-Up

Please note that the next meeting of the Greenfields Residents Association takes place Wednesday 25th May at 7.00pm.  Committee Members are encourage to attend this meeting as we plan our efforts for the 2011 Pride of Place Competition.  Should you wish to include an item/topic on the meeting agenda please forward by e-mail to greenfieldswaterford@live.com.

The Greenfields Residents Association and Neighbourhood Watch Team are holding an important meeting this coming Thursday 14th April at 8.00pm in the Butler Community Centre, St. John’s Park.  The aim of this meeting is to bring together representatives from an Garda Siochana, Waterford City Council and Local Councillors in an effort to combat the growning anti-social behaviour activities affecting Greenfields.

As you may or may not be aware two serious incidents took place in Greenfields last week which required the assistance of the Waterford City Fire Brigade.  Such incidents are becoming regular occurances in our estate and therefore I encourage all residents to attend this important meeting to show our city representatives that we as a community are serious about stopping this sort of behaviour, but to do so we need their assistance and backing.

Please note that the next meeting of the Greenfields Residents Association takes place Thursday 17th February at 7.00pm.  Committee Members are encourage to attend this meeting as we plan our efforts for 2011.  Should you wish to include an item/topic on the meeting agenda please forward by e-mail to greenfieldswaterford@live.com.

Calling all Residents Association Members!  Fancy a night out? … If so then hopefully you can make it to the Uluru on Monday 20th December at 8.30pm for a few drinks to mark the great work we have achieved as a group over the past few months and to start the Christmas celebrations in style!

See you there…

The Greenfields Residents Association supported by Waterford City Council plan to have an estate Clean-up Day Sunday 29th August from 1pm – 2pm. This is a great opportunity to lend a hand to ensure our estate is well maintained and presented.

Residents will be meeting at No. 1 Beech Court (near the entrance of the estate) at 1pm. Bags, pickers and gloves will be provided.

Following the estate clean-up, the Greenfields Residents Association will be holding a Summer Picnic from 2pm – 3pm on the green area near the entrance to the estate.  All residents are encouraged to come along.  Bring a picnic, a blanket and some nibbles and have a chat with your neighbours.  All motorists are asked to pay particular attention and reduce speed on the day to ensure we have a safe Clean-up & Summer Picnic for all.
