While an exact date for this year’s Local Elections has yet to be confirmed, plenty of candidates from County Wicklow have already announced their intentions to run, while some sitting councillors have still yet to make their minds up.

Wicklow Sinn Féin TD John Brady has congratulated Mick Ryan, who has been co-opted onto Wicklow County Council to represent Bray Municipal District following the departure of Grace McManus last October.

Uisce Éireann has announced road closures to progress the Old Connaught Woodbrook Water Supply Scheme in Bray, which involves the construction of two new reservoirs and the installation of approximately 13km of new watermain.

Two new Safe Routes to School schemes (SRTS) have been completed at SS Michael and Peter Junior National School and St John’s Senior National School in Arklow.

A proposal submitted by Arklow councillor Peir Leonard seeking a standalone social media page for her district was dismissed by Council staff because it contradicts Wicklow County Council’s communications policy of ‘one website, one Facebook page’.
