Public Consultation To Commence For New Park And Ride Facility at Fassaroe

The consultation will go live on Wednesday 23rd August and is part of the Part 8 planning process.

The plans for the new facility include 388 parking spaces, including 42 spaces for electric vehicle charging and 26 disabled spaces. It is anticipated that the proposal will return for Council approval at the November Wicklow County Council Meeting.

The Park and Ride Development Office (PRDO) will be responsible for the delivery of the overall project, working in conjunction with Wicklow County Council, and the various transport agencies operating in the County.

Subject to planning approval, the aim is to deliver Fassaroe towards the end of 2024, Ashford/Rathnew at the start of 2025 and Kilpedder in the second quarter of 2025. 

In a statement Wicklow TD John Brady said "this is an important development for commuters in County Wicklow and will greatly assist in making public transport more accessible for people and easing traffic congestion by taking cars off busy roads. I encourage members of the public to engage with the public consultation process when it goes live on 23^rd August.”
