The vision of Wicklow to Greystones Greenway is to create a walking and cycling path of greenway standard between Wicklow Town and Greystones that provides a safe and scenic experience for people of all ages and abilities.
Integrating with and contributing to the existing and planned active travel network of County Wicklow, the greenway will enhance the health and economic opportunities for local communities while preserving and promoting the natural environment.
Cathaoirleach of Wicklow County Council, Cllr Aoife Flynn Kennedy stated: ‘Wicklow County Council values the opinion of the community on this project and welcomes feedback and submissions from the public and interested parties.’
Chief Executive, Emer O’Gorman, added: ‘The knowledge gained from the engagement will be considered by the project team as part of the next stages of the development of the scheme.’
