A few of the committee surveyed the estate, as part of preparation of planning for spring and areas that we need to work on. Great to see so many fellow residents have cleared up the collections of rotting wet leaves. At a time of cutbacks in DLRCOCO they no longer have resources to clear off footpaths, only the road edge with the road sweeper. We hope to get a regular 2016 schedule to share with you all, to allow us all be prepared and minimise cars on the roads when the sweeper is due.

We have have more robberies over the Christmas period in the area, so please stay vigilant and as always if you see ANYTHING suspicious such as unmarked vans cruising the estate or loitering please contact the Gardaí at Dun Laoghaire 666 5000 or Cabinteely 666 5400.

We have also just sent this letter to the Roads Department, seeking resolution for the awful state of Johnstown Road.
