A number of events have been held across Galway this week in relation to the project with some landowners unhappy with the level of consultation previously.

Anyone with concerns over the Athlone-Galway Greenway can attend a meeting at the Shearwater Hotel in Ballinasloe on Friday the 31st of March from 3 to 8pm.

The Green Councillor says that rail infrastructure will be significantly easier to build on former tracks than developing new routes.

A number of old railway lines have been turned into greenways in recent years.

The completed greenway will connect Boyle to Carrick-on-Shannon.

Locals have raised concerns over privacy, anti-social behaviour and land segregation along the route.

The greenway intends to make use of the disused railway line as the potential route.

The call follows an incident involving a woman and man last week on the popular amenity.
