Galway Bay fm newsroom: The City Council will next month vote on the proposed sale of land at Dun na Mara in Renmore to a private developer.
The upcoming vote has sparked a local campaign, as residents are concerned about a proposed access route to a new housing development.
Residents says the planned access route would increase the traffic in an already congested cul-de-sac.
They argue this is unnecessary when multiple viable access points to the site exist via Renmore Road.
Galway City Council has not responded to requests for a statement on the matter.
Residents' spokesperson Una Shortt says they support the building of new homes, but the green space should be maintained.
