From Salthill’s Seafront to Renmore’s Neighbourhood Park, from South Park to citywide traffic calming, several important public consultations are happening right now. These projects will directly impact how we live, move, and connect in our city.
To ensure that as many people living in Galway can have their say, GCCN is holding a drop-in clinic as follows:
GCCN Information Evening
Date: Wednesday, 19th February
Time: 4pm to 8pm
Location: Westside Resource Centre
What to expect:
- assistance with filling out surveys
- information on each consultation
- comments and feedback on traffic calming policy
This is our collective chance to make a difference, to help create better public spaces in Galway city and safer streets.
If you care and want to have a say, make sure to get involved!
