The Council will consider granting the successful applicant an exclusive licence to operate for an initial period of four years and nine months with annual reviews. There will be an option, subject to satisfactory performance, to extend this period.

Applicants are invited to make a detailed submission confirming their experience in the retail and goldsmith / silversmith trade and the annual rent they are willing to pay for the licence to operate the retail unit in the Deanery building.   Previous experience of operating a similar establishment is absolutely essential.

Traffic Calming Measures, Lower Branch Road L4162 Tramore, County Waterford

TAKE NOTICE, Waterford City and County Council is proposing to provide the following traffic calming measures at Lower Branch Road L4162 Tramore, County Waterford.

A traffic survey was completed on the 24th April 2016 which confirmed that 32.82% of the vehicles surveyed exceeded the 50 km/hour speed limit.

The proposed measures include:

  • In order to reduce speeds and reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians, a series of footpath build outs and pedestrian crossing points are proposed. The biggest
    contributors to pedestrian risk on through routes in towns and villages are vehicle speed (particularly at off-peak times) and crossing distance.
  • The first controlled pedestrian crossing is proposed on the Majestic side of the Medical Practice located on the Lower Branch Road.
  • The second controlled pedestrian crossing is located at the existing Bus Station on Lower Branch Road.
  • There is also one uncontrolled crossing at the Majestic Hotel proposed.
  • A series of footpath build outs and new lining works shall delineate the new road layout and crossing points (3 in total).

The drawings outlining the proposals are available for inspection at the following locations and are also attached to this notice:

  • Customer Services Department, Bailey’s New Street,
    Waterford.
  • Customer Services Department, Davitt’s Quay,
    Dungarvan, Co. Waterford.

The drawings are available from Tuesday 20th November 2018 to Thursday 20th December 2018, both dates inclusive. Objections or representations in respect of the proposed measures may be made in writing to Mr. Alan O’Shea, Executive Engineer, Metropolitan District, Menapia Building, Waterford or by email to alanoshea@waterfordcouncil.ie and must be received before 4.00 pm on Thursday 20th December,

Expressions of Interest from traders sought regarding Waterford Greenway

2017-01-16_0918Waterford City and County Council are seeking “Expressions of Interest” regarding service provision on the Waterford Greenway.

Waterford Greenway will open fully towards the end of March and the 46 km walking and cycling route will be a magnificent addition to Waterford’s tourism infrastructure. Already the sections that are open are attracting extremely high footfall

The Council wishes to ensure that the Greenway has sufficient services of a high standard to ensure that all users of the route enjoy a quality visitor experience. The preferred option over the longer period is that these services (e.g. food, drink, information etc etc) would be provided by permanent establishments.

However, in the shorter term, deficiencies in service provision may need to be addressed via casual trading licences

To this end, the Council is seeking expressions of interest from traders who wish to provide such services, specifically at the car-park in Scartore (Clonea) and at or near Carroll’s Cross. However, the Council will also accept expressions of interest for other locations and particularly so, if the intended service is unique, artisan or high quality but not at places where service provision already exists.

Expressions of Interest to be sent on or before Friday 10th February, 2017 to:

Richie Walsh, Head of Enterprise, Waterford City and County Council, Civic Offices, Davitt’s Quay, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford

or via email to : rwalsh@waterfordcouncil.ie

For general inquiries, contact Bernadette Drohan at bdrohan@waterfordcouncil.ie or telephone 0761 10 2169.
