In 2022, Fingal County Council asked local people and businesses to tell us what Active Travel ideas they thought would work best for Skerries, as the first in a series of steps to develop Active Travel proposals for the town. Over 560 submissions were received, with more than 2,000 suggestions included in those submissions.
The Fingal County Development Plan 2023-2029 (FCDP) and the Fingal Active Travel Strategy 2023 are also key drivers for the development of an Active Travel Plan. At the heart of the development plan is the principle of healthy placemaking, whilst the vision of the strategy is to ensure that walking, cycling and wheeling become a realistic and safe choice for everyday short journeys in the county.
What is happening now?
A draft Active Travel Plan has now been created from your suggestions, and Fingal County Council are seeking your feedback on the proposals included in the draft plan before detailed design begins. An Active Travel Plan is a high-level document that proposes a collection of improvements, upgrades and specific projects in order to make it safer and more attractive for people to walk, cycle, or use other human-powered transportation for their purposeful journeys. The proposals that make up the plan are not yet at the level of design that you would find in a planning application, but it is important to FCC that stakeholders around the town feed into the overall vision for active travel in Skerries before any of these proposals is developed further.
You can download the draft Active Travel Plan on the right hand side of this page in the 'related resources' section.
How can I get involved?
We are holding a number of stakeholder and public information sessions over the month of November which gives you the opportunity to learn more about the proposed project, speak to the project team, share your thoughts, and input to the design process.
