PUBLIC MEETING ON CONTROVERSIAL CITY ROUNDABOUTS PLAN

Date Published: 02-Jun-2011

The debate about controversial proposals to replace city roundabouts with traffic light junctions will continue this evening.

Galway City Council is hosting a meeting for the public on the proposed changes to the N6 Lynch roundabout at Briarhill.

These changes include replacing the roundabout with a signalised junction which Council officials claim will reduce traffic congestion.

It's part of a larger plan, which could see all city roundabouts turn into traffic light junctions.

Among those opposed to the plans are several city and county councillors and MEP Jim Higgins.

This evening's public meeting takes place at the Menlo Park Hotel at half past 7.
