Councillors voted yesterday (14/11/22) to approve a €113m budget for the city next year.
An amendment was proposed and passed that saw €650 thousand diverted primarily from the local authority’s electric vehicle allocation.
It was reported on Galway Bay FM this morning that this would instead be invested in a wide range of community allocations, including public lighting projects and floodlights at Pearse Stadium, a pregnancy loss garden and a study on tidal pools in Salthill.
The plan also includes €25,000 for a Glenard Crescent amenity and active travel initiative.
