The Award ceremony for Galway City Council’s ‘Spaces for Biodiversity’ Competition was held on Monday 15 December at the Connaught Hotel. The competition is organised by Galway City Council to recognise and celebrate the efforts of residents throughout the city in putting biodiversity first in their gardens, estates, and public areas. Cllr. Helen Ogbu was in attendance to present the prizes.
Due to the disruptions caused by Storm Éowyn, the deadline for the Local Enhancement Programme 2025 has now been extended to Wednesday 5th February, 4pm.
Galway City Council would like to remind the public that the Status Orange: Wind warning is still in effect until 4:00pm today. Members of the public are advised to limit travel to essential travel only, and to shelter in place as much as possible in areas where an orange level warning is in place, as there is ongoing risk of trees falling and flying debris and fallen electric cables.
Traffic lights remain out in a number of locations in the city (see below).
Please proceed with caution going through junctions. It may take some time to resolve connectivity issues and repairs to restore lights.
