Town renewal project pitched as way to help combat housing shortage

EFFORTS should be made to rejuvenate small towns and villages across Co Galway and one councillor sees potential for reducing the housing shortage through such an initiative.
County Councillors say they are being contacted regularly now about housing. Many stress that extra funding has to be allocated to the local authority as it can’t cope with the demand and lack of resources.
Independent Cllr Tim Broderick described the housing situation as “exasperating”.
