The proposed development next to Cois Cairn residential estate is for a public park,

currently under the working title 'Wilford Park'.

Following a successful, consultative meeting with the residents of Cois Cairn on 25

July, hosted by the Cois Cairn Estate Management Forum and DLR Community

Section, Dlr Parks and Landscape Services engaged in informal in-house consultation

with the relevant Council departments and with Bray Town Council's Town Engineer.

A report on the outcome of these consultations was made to a meeting of the

Council's Management Team on 22 October. The Team instructed DLR Parks and

Landscape Services to proceed with a statutory consultation process under Part 8 of

the Planning and Development Regulations 2001. Preparations for the Part 8 will

commence shortly and it is envisaged that the consultation will go public in the next

few months.

Funding for the park development has not yet been identified, so it is not possible to

indicate a timeline for the scheme.
