Your Connection with Bray
Wicklow County Council has undertaken a Town Centre Health Check for Bray and wanted to hear your views on how it is performing and how it can be improved.
The Bray Town Centre Health Check was an opportunity to consider the vibrancy and vitality of Bray. As we measure the current performance of the town, we will plan for the future needs of residents and visitors in Bray.
A big thanks to the many businesses, residents and visitors who attended the public workshop and completed the short online survey back in September.
We value your opinions and thank you for taking the time to participate!
The Bray Town Centre Health Check Report will be produced and circulated in due course.
