At long last the Old Tramore Road Realignment will commence Monday October 4th 2010. Frank Roche Senior Engineer with Waterford City Council confirmed that contracts were signed on Monday 13th September and a letter of acceptance has been sent to the Contractor.
Works will commence October 4th 2010 and will continue until April 2011. A full traffic management plan will be in place for the duration of these works (details will be posted at http://www.greenfieldswaterford.com once available).
The Greenfields Residents Association wish to thank Cllr. Seamus Ryan for his hard work, dedication and lobbying regarding this project. The completion of this project next Spring will be a welcomed relief for all residents, pedestrians and motorist.
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.
Circulating this month to all residents is the Summer 2010 edition of the GRA Newsletter. In the Summer edition find out about our next Clean-up Day, the Summer Picnic and an update about Neighbourhood Watch activities.

Some residents have reported incidents of graffiti in our estate. We are looking into getting this graffiti removed. Can all residents please be extra vigilant and report such behaviour to our Neighbourhood Watch team. Alternatively, incidents like this should be reported to our local Community Garda, Sharon Dempsey on 051 305300.
The Greenfields Residents Association are pleased to announce that Greenfields has entered the Pride of Place Environmental Competition 2010.
This exciting initiative run by Waterford City Council will over the coming months monitor our estate and judge its appearance. Regular feedback will be given to the Residents Association before our estate is judged for “Best Small Residential Area”.
The judges will be particularly interested in litter, appearance of public spaces, planted areas, trees, clean-up days and communications. All residents are actively encouraged to take pride in Greenfields and to do your bit to help. Also many thanks to all those residents who have taken time to place flowers and hanging baskets around the estate over the past few weeks.
Should you have any suggestions in relation to Pride of Place 2010 please forward them to greenfieldswaterford@live.com
The Childrens Group Link / Waterford City Council 100th Day Challenge will take place on Saturday 24th April. As part of the challenge a team of volunteers will be in the Greenfields area participating in a general clean-up. In order to generate as much funds as possible a volunteer will call to your house seeking a donation between 2pm and 5pm. All contributions, no matter how small, will be much appreciated. Collectors will be wearing identifiable vests and will carry a permit.
