Commonwealth Games "consultation" events taking place in June
From Hidden Glasgow:
Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games consultation events to take place in Glasgow next month
Consultation events looking at the progress being made on Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games venues and facilities and plans for the legacy from the Games will take place at five centres across the city during June.
The events, entitled, ‘The Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games - what does it mean for you?’ will be open to members of the public and community groups.
Councillor Archie Graham, Executive Member for the Commonwealth Games at Glasgow City Council, will provide an overview on the work underway across the city to date, in terms of the venues under construction and re-development such as Kelvingrove Lawn Bowls, the National Indoor Sports Arena and Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, and plans for the Athletes' Village.
Councillor Graham will also set out the city’s plans and ambitions for how Glasgow will benefit from hosting of the Games and the legacy they will leave behind.
The events will finish with a short workshop session to give people the opportunity to contribute and find out how the Council can help them to get involved in achieving a positive legacy from the Games.
The events are taking place as follows:
• South East Glasgow - Thursday 17 June, 6 - 8pm in Hollybrook School, 135 Hollybrook Street, Govanhill G42 7HU
