Friday, 5th July 2024
Wicklow County Council’s role in supporting quality living within Wicklow is being highlighted, promoted and celebrated to mark Your Council Day 2024, taking place today Friday 5th July.
Across Wicklow, amenities and services operated, supported and provided by Wicklow County Council have a very positive impact on local people’s quality of life, wellbeing and health. An extensive array of local authority services are used by people on a day-to-day basis which support quality living.
These include, but are not limited to, parks, leisure, sports, library, arts, heritage and community services. Councils also lead in protecting our living environments, including street cleaning, litter control, monitoring of waterways and beaches, urban and village renewal schemes, and maintenance of our roads and footpaths.
Staff in local authorities are embedded within communities, enabling people on an individual and collective basis to enjoy life in places where they live, work and visit. Across social media, #YourCouncilDay will highlight the role of local authorities in promoting quality living and the work of committed and passionate staff in Wicklow County Council.
“On Your Council Day, Wicklow County Council is very proud to highlight, promote and celebrate our role in positively impacting upon people’s quality of life,” said Cathaoirleach of Wicklow County Council, Cllr. Paul O’Brien.
Chief Executive of Wicklow County Council, Emer O’Gorman said, “Our staff are committed to supporting people living in and visiting Wicklow to enjoy a positive, high-quality experience within the county. Given the very considerable range of services supported and operated by local government in our communities, every day councils are positively impacting upon people’s lives.”
On Your Council Day, local authorities will be posting online using #YourCouncilDay / #DoLáSaChomhairle to profile services and amenities provided each day across the county.
