Shop local first
Bray Chamber, Bray Municipal District – Wicklow County Council and bray.ie are calling on the people of #Bray to shop local first when shopping online over the coming days and weeks.
A number of local businesses have already made the decision to close their doors for the foreseeable future due to the coronavirus outbreak, but most have an online presence. Others are scaling back opening hours but they are still open for business ONLINE.
To help support these firms, we would appeal to you: if you are shopping online over the coming days and weeks, please look local.
We encourage people to play their part by spending their money locally and help struggling local businesses weather the current storm.
Let’s work together #Bray and support those close to us, as a community, we can all get through it together.

Your Connection with Bray
Wicklow County Council undertook a Town Centre Health Check for Bray which heard from the local community on how it is performing and how it can be improved.
The Health Check was an opportunity to consider the vibrancy and vitality of Bray, as it measures the current performance of the town, Wicklow County Council 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 2019.
We value your opinions and thank you for taking the time to participate!
