Why do people always moan without getting involved.
200 is a lot. Thats a total of 24,000 if they got everyone to contribute. Why do they need so much money??
€200 for grass cutting, total of 24k ( a year i assume ) i'll take that job.
If the estate was taken in charge by the local Council surely it is their responsibility to cut the grass.
Do either of you know the size of the OPs estate, do you know the amount of work involved in maintaining it? Or is it more likely that you looked at the total and said, "That's a lot of money, surely no-one would pay that for grass cutting?" There are large estates which require a lot of time and effort to maintain. For example, my estate is 16 acres and has extensive landscaping so it's not just grass-cutting. We pay c. €33k a year for the landscaping service. .
The OPs estate is 120 houses, my estate is 80 and the grass cutting contractors charge less than 3k to cut it every week. So I am basing my opinion on what would be a reasonable comparison.

That's my point, it's just a guess - the layout of the estates, the amount of grass areas, the type of work required to maintain any flower beds, etc, all contribute to the cost. Without knowing the OP's estate, it's almost impossible to calculate the cost.

The(residents association) appear to be a small group of people in my opinion with a slight attitude.
