Galway County Council submitted three separate proposals under the Active Travel Towns Funding Programme 2014-2016 one of which was for the town of Athenry, the other two being for Gort and Loughrea.

A total of 37 applications from local authorities were received under this second tranche of funding to implement the Active Travel Towns Initiative.

All proposals have been considered by an assessment panel as part of a competitive process set against agreed criteria.  A decision and announcement of the successful projects under this funding programme is expected in the coming weeks.
