Galway Bay fm newsroom - Local Independent representatives are calling on communities in Galway to make a submission on the new greenway from Athlone to Galway, as work is underway to decide a route for the development.
Galway East TD Seán Canney, Roscommon-Galway TD Denis Naughten, and County Councillors Tim Broderick, Gabe Cronnelly and Evelyn Parsons are asking communites to express their support for a cycleway which would link Athlone to Ballinasloe and Athenry, and on to Galway City.
The group argues that such a route could incorporate towns and villages in Galway including Ahascragh, Kilconnell, New Inn, Attymon and Esker - which would help boost tourism in those areas.
It's encouraging local communities to inform the planning consultants on what their local area has to offer.
Submissions must be made to [email protected] by the 7th of September.
Deputy Denis Naughten says the ultimate goal is to connect multiple greenways across the country...
