Ballinasloe Councillor calls for measures to protect town’s community amenities

Repeated vandalism at Ballinasloe's running track has prompted urgent calls from a councillor for stronger measures to protect the town's community amenities.

Independent Councillor Evelyn Parsons has urged Galway County Council to develop a business case for a dedicated caretaker or contracted security firm presence covering key public facilities across Ballinasloe including the running track, playgrounds, public toilets, and bottle and clothes banks, which are frequently abused through illegal dumping. 

Speaking yesterday, Councillor Parsons says that the track in Dunlo is a necessity for the well being and health of the community.
