Galway Bay fm newsroom - A public meeting will be held in the city tomorrow to discuss controversial plans for the Westwood Hotel in Upper Newcastle (11/6).
Planning permission is sought by NTM ROI Seed Capital LP to demolish the building and replace it with student accommodation comprising 394 bedrooms.
The firm has now lodged a strategic housing development application with An Bord Pleanala with submissions accepted until June 28th.
The 'Save the Westwood' campaign group opposes the plan and is leading a public meeting - the latest in a long-running campaign - to discuss local concerns.
It'll take place at Bushypark school hall tomorrow evening at 8.
