Hello .. @Alexandra I sent a PM there. @beenthere as far as I know there will be alot more families coming to the parish. I was working on getting local housing for the family we know, however Local Authorities at present will not be offering HAP. So I think housing will present a big challenge. I'm...

Hello, We have taken in a ukranian family and are aware of another coming to the area in a few days time. We are happy to have them in our home for however long is required, however if there are private landlords in the area with vacant properties and would be happy to receive HAP please reach out t...

Hi also looking for cleaner couple hours a week do you still have availability?

Thanks donnelbg, Just spotted this post & looked at my cameras & sure enough there he is in all his glory at around 22:50. He checks both cars & presumably the neighbors also, he jumps up on the wall between the houses & has a look around around the back. He hides behind our side doo...

In relation to the extra houses, looks like they are going back to the applicant for more details. The decision is up on the fingal planning website. It seems they want to have an entrance linking Beverton & Beresford, which would only be used for emergencies. Any idea how that would work?

I'd also like to put in an objection on the traffic grounds. Will this be a pointless exercise considering the government are favouring fast tracking such developments?

FYI: got Matt to service my car prior to nct, passed with flying colours, great communication throughout. Highly recommend.

Will the name of this new estate also be called Beresford? & if so, with the addition of apartments, will this mean the introduction of management fees & would this be for everyone, houses and all? We were told initially & I have it in writing that there would be no management fees in th...

Thanks guys, will give him a shout.

Can anyone recommend a good garage for a service in the Dobabate/Swords area. I've googled a few but would like a recommendation if possible? Thanks.

Any idea where they will be in Donabate?

What's everyone's broadband like in Beresford? We've UPC & it's starting to slow down a lot especially at peak times (I presume were all sharing the same line?). My 4G on my phone is about 5 times the speed & more consistent.

7 minutes from from gates to train station at a brisk walk (long legs), 12 minutes at a nice leisurely stroll.

Hi kaner sorry to hear. My car got broken into a few months back in the train station, as well as 4 others. Guards came & took one car off for finger prints. Unfortunately it looks like the guards are spread thin & donabate isn't a priority, I hear they only drive our here twice a day on pat...

Not yet Austy, perhaps give the builder a shout.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll ask the builder for advice on raising it and perhaps sound proofing the pump room a little.

Is it just me or does anyone else think the waterpump upstairs in the middle of the house is quite noisy?

There's two 4 beds at either end plus the detached is also a 4 bed. Parking looks tight in the 3 beds, we have a 4 bed & it's grand. Yea i can see parking been a problem for visitors and then when kids grow up & people have 3-4 cars per house. Will end up like other estates where people park...

Thanks for the update Essexboy, but I bet they will have another issue. Eircom really are a joke of a company, I tried to get broadband for my parents down the country earlier this year & took 4 months for them to tell me that the line between the lane pole & my parents house (15 meters at b...

Anyone managed to get any sort of broadband in here yet? Eircom's network service guys kn were out today & they said the builder has to do something or other, the builder says it's eircom's fault, the latest is that the builder is now trying to get UPC in, which could take months, next year perh...

I'd say it's only a matter of time an accident is going to happen along here especially with the new development and the amount of young children from Beverton growing up and cycling/walking the roads. You really need your wits about you in the morning walking up to the train station, crossing the r...

Thanks for the info all, looking forward now to moving in, we're also in the first phase. Also looks like the prices have gone up although the 4 bed there could have a bigger garden (or solar panels ).

Hi donnelbg,

Did I read you right in saying that the builders are no longer going to put solar panels in this new development at beresford? We're also in for the first phase.

Cheers.

Anyone buying here, when do they expect to be finished and will the council ever widen the road on Turvey & add a better path? Thanks, A
