Mayo to show us the way on free town parking

A FREE parking scheme for shoppers in Westport could be the blueprint for a similar project in Tuam and Athenry.
That’s according to Cllr Donagh Killilea, who will propose free parking between 9 and 11 am from Monday to Friday at next month’s meeting of Galway Co Council.
A Tuam native, Christy Hyland from Killaloonty, is a county councillor for Westport and has discussed their scheme with Cllr Killilea.
“Having the free parking for these two hours each week day would ensure that it would benefit shoppers and businesses, but it could not be abused by people leaving their car all day,” says Cllr Killilea.
