Free parking plan to be rejected as costings don't add up

PLANS to boost trade in towns throughout Co Galway by offering free parking are to be shelved because the costings behind the proposal don’t add up.
Members of Tuam MDC were told this week that two possible ways of providing free parking have been rejected by Galway County Council’s Special Policy Committee on parking, after it was revealed the plans would cost a minimum of €90,000 and a maximum of €440,000.
