Annual Grass Cutting Fee
There was a small increase in contributions in 2024. 187 houses paid for grass cutting, which is 70% of total houses, compared to 65% in 2023. Unfortunately it is still lower than previous years.
This has an impact. Firstly, it makes it much harder to do any improvement works in the estate. Also, it makes finances much tighter at a time when prices of grass cutting keeps increasing.
Please help by talking to your neighbours and encouraging everyone to contribute!
2025
Annual fees for 2025 grass cutting are being collected. Again, it would be helpful if everyone paid electronically. Fees remain the same amount this year.

Please spread the word in your street, as we do not have email or other contact details for everyone.
Estate improvements this year
Some ideas from residents who have been in touch so far include
- more work on shrub beds
- additional shrubs along entrances
- street sweep
If you have any ideas for your street or green, please do get in touch. Also, for these projects to be completed, we do need more help!
National Spring Clean 2025
Some residents have registered for the National Spring Clean which gives estates some bags and gloves to help with an annual clean up. Please contact chair@grangemanor.ie
Area Updates
Since early last year a group of residents have been working with the council on a plan to implement safe crossing on Grange Road near the bus stops, by Essentra and on the other side of the footbridge. Unfortunately progress is slow on these but Cork County Council state these are still in plan for 2025.
A request has gone in to create a bicycle ramp near the footbridge.
Council plan to cut back the overgrowth on the footpath by Lakewood soon.
See the news section on this website for some recent local news and things being planned in Grange Manor and the area in general.
