Galwegians are being asked to make their views known on the planning guidelines for national secondary and primary routes such as the N59, N84, N17 and the N18.
The guidelines on planning policy and roads under Section 28 of the Planning and Development Act are going for public consultation and submissions, observations, criticisms, and suggestions from the public are being sought.
Submissions can be made before the closing date of Friday September 10 to Catriona Barrett, Planning System and Spatial Policy, Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Custom House, Dublin 1.
Fianna Fáil Galway West TD Frank Fahey is encouraging the public to make submissions.
“The guidelines will encourage a collaborative approach between planning guidelines and the NRA,” he said, “with the aim of ensuring transport and land use planning considerations are taken into account at the early stages of both the development plan and the development management processes.”
