Portumna based Cllr Declan Kelly has welcomed the resurfacing and re-lining of Eyrecourt Square.
The Independent councillor has said that two new disabled parking bays will shortly be painted on the Square with a third on the public street.
Cllr Kelly said that one of the first things that was brought to his attention after he was co-opted as a councillor was the state of Eyrecourt Square.
He said the surface was badly eroded and the disabled parking bays had completely faded away.
“I wish to sincerely thank Galway County Council, therefore, for undertaking a complete revamp of the Square in the past few days at my request,” said Cllr Kelly
“The Square has also been completely re-surfaced, re-lined and two parking spaces have been delineated for newly painted disabled parking bays which I will be funding from my discretionary councillor’s budget. I will also be funding a third from my budget which will be located on the street.”
Cllr Kelly said that he was also very pleased to have secured over €70,000 for restoration works on the Eyrecourt to Banagher road – work that will commence shortly.
“We have vibrant communities right around East Galway and securing the funding to enhance the infrastructure of these communities is one of my principal objectives as a public representative,” he said.
