Study space in libraries open again

LIBRARY study spaces resumes from Monday with all spaces physically distanced with screens in place.

All Wicklow libraries are now open for a full browsing service. The mobile library has resumed too, as well as Saturday openings.

You can book a space online at www. wicklow.ie/library-services.

Wicklow County Council’s County Building is open from 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., by appointment only. Improvement works are currently taking place which require a section of the main foyer area to be closed to the public in order to comply with health and safety requirements.

A temporary desk to facilitate members of the public presenting by appointment for Housing, Planning and Environment services will be located to the rear entrance.

Members of the public are requested not to present without prior appointment. Where possible payments can be made electronically or by phone, motor taxation can be renewed online or submitted by post.

Planning applications can also be submitted by post.

The Municipal District offices at Bray, Greystones, Arklow, Wicklow and Baltinglass/Blessington are also open during the same times as the County Buildings, but members of the public are encouraged not to visit the public offices unnecessarily.

When doing so, visitors are requested to wear a face covering and adhere to the measures which have been put in place to facilitate physical distancing to ensure the safety of staff and members of the public.

When making an appointment members of the public will be required to complete a brief health and safety questionnaire regarding COVID 19 in order to minimise the risk of the spread of the virus, this information will be retained on file for 30 days to facilitate contact tracing if necessary but will be destroyed thereafter.
