About Gorey Pedestrian and Cycling Association
Gorey Pedestrian and Cycling Association is a newly formed group whose members come from all different walks of life. We share one thing in common:

Courtown & Riverchapel Town Centre First Plan - Secondary School Students Workshop (4th to 6th year Students)
Thursday 23rd January from 7pm - 9pm in the Riverchapel Star of the Sea National School Y25 DE28. Registration is from 6:45pm.
4th, 5th and 6th Year students from all post-primary schools serving the area are invited to attend and have their say in the Town Centre First Plan for Courtown & Riverchapel. This workshop is an important opportunity for the Town Team and project consultants to understand the specific views and opinions of younger people in the community.
The students will be given specific tasks to explore specific issues and opportunities for the area.
The findings of the workshop will be collated by the project consultants and reviewed and analysed to inform the preparation of the Town Centre First Plan.

Fairplay to Garda Mark!
Great to see @gardainfo using tech to help to retrieve stolen bikes.

Today is Make Way Day 2024, an annual event that highlights everyday obstacles on footpaths that make it difficult for people with disabilities to use public streets.

Our Access Team, some Elected Members and some local organisations working with people with disabilities, are out for a walkability audit in Gorey today to identify any potential issues or improvements that could be implemented.

Today we supported @DisabilityFed #MakeWayDay2024 with the @wexfordcoco Access Dept and other local groups and people. We will have more info and pics soon but needless to say it was an eye-opener! Thanks so much all who took part and shared valuable insights and experiences 😊

@RathVivian @DisabilityFed @GaryJk64 @wexfordcoco @Wexford_People @visitwexford @WexfordLocalDev @GoreyGuardian @GoreyRFC Thanks so much for all your valuable insights Vivian, it was great to chat to you!

[Dr Vivian Rath @RathVivian]

Thank you to @GPCAssociation for inviting me to join them on a tour of Gorey town to identify the barriers that make every day access challenging. Well done to Claire & her team on working to raise awareness & it was nice to see our local representatives out. #MakeWayDay24

Another area in need of lighting is from The Paddocks housing estate to Gorey Business Park. With lots of children going to activities in the business park and the pitch beside it, we hope this area is next on the list!

⚡Let there be light!⚡💯

Great to see new streetlights outside Garden City GAA pitch! This was one of the areas we highlighted to the council as being in need of lighting to help people stay safer walking and cycling, especially on winter mornings and evenings.

Super interesting exploration of why more women don't cycle and bow we can change that!

Considering a cargo bike? With room for children and shopping, they are a great way to replace short car journeys. This event looks like a great chance to learn more about them and try some out!

Morning! This photo this morning around the corner from the @IrishWheelchair and the @centralremedial

What do you mean you can’t wheel to work or your day clinic on the footpath?

Do people really think this is acceptable behaviour?

Be great to see some of the newly elected councillors tackle this issue head on!!!
