Benches or Blight in South Park | Galway News

South Park’s council is caught in a heated debate over four benches blamed for attracting anti-social behavior—human waste, drugs, and more—while critics warn removing them punishes the whole community. Councilor Josie Forde wants them relocated to the main walkway, but over 100 locals argue they’re essential for seniors, disabled visitors, and families. Officials hesitate, fearing a quick fix could set a bad precedent, and instead propose upgrading the benches, improving lighting, and boosting patrols to tackle the root issues without sacrificing public access.
