Boost for Oranmore as funding secured for local roads

Thu, Apr 07, 2016

Galway County Council is to begin permanent reinstatement of roads in Oranmore next week following infrastructure works carried out in the village over the last few months.

This announcement has been welcomed by local councillor Martina Kinane. “There will be some road closures necessary to complete these works but they will be of a short duration. I am awaiting the plan from the contractor and Galway County Council which is currently being agreed.”

Cllr Kinane believes this funding from the local authority to improve local roads will help stimulate business in Oranmore. “Local businesses have endured a drop in footfall recently due to temporary road closures and need to be supported. I will be meeting with the Oranmore business community over the next week to outline details of my plan to promote Oranmore as a place to visit, stay, eat, and shop.”
