Limerick Council Seeks Public Input for Bathing Water Locations

Residents of County Limerick are being invited by the Limerick City and County Council to suggest potential sites for public bathing areas. Currently, there are no officially designated bathing locations in the county, excluding those within Limerick city itself. This initiative aims to identify suitable sites for residents who enjoy swimming in local lakes and rivers.

The Council is looking for recommendations that take into account several important factors. These include water quality, land ownership—ensuring that proposed sites are not on private property—health and safety considerations, and the availability of parking as well as toilet and changing facilities nearby.

Citizens interested in contributing to this initiative can submit their suggestions to the Council via email at [email protected]. The deadline for submissions is September 26, providing ample time for residents to share their insights and preferences.

Community Involvement in Local Amenities

This call for public input reflects the Council’s commitment to enhancing recreational opportunities in the area. By engaging with the community, the Council aims to create safe and enjoyable environments for swimming and other water-based activities.

As public bathing becomes increasingly popular, the establishment of designated areas could significantly benefit local residents. These areas not only promote health and wellness but also foster community spirit as families and individuals gather to enjoy the natural beauty of the region.

Through this initiative, the Limerick City and County Council demonstrates a proactive approach to community development and environmental stewardship. By prioritizing public input, the Council hopes to ensure that any new bathing areas meet the needs and preferences of local swimmers while maintaining high safety and quality standards.

The initiative is a step towards making County Limerick a more attractive destination for both residents and visitors, enhancing the overall quality of life in the region. With the community’s feedback, the Council can make informed decisions about the best locations for public bathing, ultimately contributing to a safer and more enjoyable outdoor experience.
