The annual Halloween Fireworks display is due to take place in the Res on Thursday October 31st. If it’s anything like last year, it promises to be another spectacular event!
The display normally lasts about 30 mins so if you have pets, please keep them in doors during this time.
(note: the Fireworks event is organised by a group of residents and not associated with the Ballinclea Heights Residents Association)
Skip Day is confirmed and booked for the morning of the 11th May 2019.
There will be 2 X 20 tonne roll on skips placed at the usual spots. We are expecting them from 8am. So we would ask that residents don’t drop items off before and leave with the expectation that someone else puts it into the skips. Remember that only items broken down to their smallest parts will be accepted.
There is a significant cost to the Residents Association for the hire of the skips so only paid members of the Residents Association can access the skips.
A list of active subscriptions will be cross checked before permission is given to access the skip.
Look forward to seeing you on the 11th May for some Spring cleaning!
