Wicklow County Council (which includes the five municipal districts of Bray, Arklow, Greystones, Wicklow and Baltinglass) is currently preparing its five year Corporate Plan, 2024 – 2029 which will serve as the Council’s Strategic Framework for Action over the duration of the five year plan. The Plan will set out our vision, mission, and the core values within which we will operate and deliver services.
Key strategic objectives will be identified under the three themes PLACE, PLANET AND PEOPLE which will be used to direct business processes and performance, through our Annual Service Delivery Plan and performance management development systems.
