West Wicklow Pool

For the first time in over 50 years, the development of a swimming pool in West Wicklow is included in a Wicklow County Development Plan! This is a huge achievement which was made possible because of the support that our campaign for a pool for West Wicklow has received from our community. Thank you.

The Wicklow County Development Plan Draft is now open for Public Consultation and we need your help! We need EVERYONE to make a submission about how much we need a Pool for West Wicklow & remind Wicklow County Council how important it is for our community!

There are 3 ways that you can make a submission;

• By Post 

Write/Draw why a Pool for West Wicklow is important to you & post it to Wicklow County Development Plan,  County Development Plan Review, Planning Department, Wicklow County Council, Station Road, Wicklow Town

• Online

Create an account at the Wicklow County Council Consultation Portal at www.consult.wicklow.ie & submit your letter of support there

• As Part of Community Pool for West Wicklow’s Submission

Email us your letter and/or drawing of support for a Pool for West Wicklow and we will include it as part of our submission. Our email address is poolforwestwicklow@gmail.com

Make sure to include your name and address in your submission. Tell Wicklow County Council why having a Pool in West Wicklow is important for you, your family, your Sports Club, your Community Group, your Business, or your School.

You have to be over 16 to make a submission but children can write letters or draw pictures about why having a swimming pool in West Wicklow is important to them and these letters and drawings can be included in a family or group submission. Your children can send us their letters and pictures and we will include them in our submission!
