Galway Bay fm newsroom - Work on a new local area plan for Loughrea could be deferred for up to five years due to a lack of resources in the county council.
The matter has been discussed at County Hall this week.
It will be debated in full by Loughrea district councillors at a meeting in the town on July 13th.
The council says due to a heavy workload and limited resources, work on the new plan should be deferred for a period not exceeding five years.
However, the executive says it is not their intention to wait 5 years to begin work on the new Loughrea Local Area Plan.
Other local area plans around the county are also facing delays.
