COUNCILLORS TO DECIDE ON URBAN VILLAGE PLAN FOR GALWAY SHOPPING CENTRE SITE

Date Published: 25-Aug-2008

Galway city council has signalled it intends granting permission for the creation of a new urban village on the site of the Galway Shopping Centre.

The development, which will dramatically transform the city skyline, will see the demolition of the existing shopping centre and the creation of a new super-junction in place of the Headford road roundabout.

But the shopping centre owners have two final hurdles to over come before they get the official green light.

Their application must be approved by the city council, and the public has four more weeks to make final submissions.
