Intent: Rezoning the floodplain so that the traditional escape route of floods from our homes is kept open.

Methods: The first 32 outlining our concerns about our floodplain. The rest mostly to invite or remind county councillors about the meetings described below. - Email, Around 50 calls or texts to county councillors following up on our invitation to the meetings outlined below. - Phone call, We held an information meeting in each Municipal District (Arklow and Wicklow were amalgamated) regarding flooding, floodplains, and what happens when flood defences fail, as councillors outside our Municipal District (and some within) would have no knowledge of our situation in Little Bray. We asked councillors to consider these facts when voting as to whether to return our floodplain to its original Open Space zoning in the 2017 Local Area Development Plan for Bray & Environs. We had been asking for permission to address the County Council since last January, but were told each time by officials that we could only talk to our own Municipal councillors (even though all 32 would vote on it): eventually the councillors themselves proposed meeting us separately to hear our concerns, as we had not been allowed address them in the Council Chamber. We also met 4 councillors, who had been unable to attend any of the District meetings, separately, and made the same presentation to them. - Meeting, ...
