Taxi spaces which were not being used at the upper end of University Road/Newcastle Road junction are being turned into a loading bay for the local Tesco store.
This is according to Fine Gael councillor Pádraig Conneely. Cllr Conneely noticed that the bays were not being used by taxis and he requested the Galway City Council remove them.
He feels that as well as being used as loading bays the former bays will also help provide extra parking spaces in the area at certain times of the day.
