People in Scotland

People across Scotland are being asked what legacy they want from the 2014 Commonwealth Games at a series of countrywide events in May, June and July 2008.

Scottish Government staff will make a presentation about the development of a Commonwealth Games legacy, which will be followed by a question and answer session.

The Scottish Government will publish an interim action plan towards the end of this year, and a Commonwealth Games Legacy Plan in summer 2009.

Communities and Sport Minister Stewart Maxwell, said:

"This Government has always made clear that hosting the 2014 Games is not just about hosting a two-week sporting festival.

"It presents Scotland with great opportunities to make real improvements to people's lives, to raise our sights as a nation and regenerate communities across Scotland.

"We need individuals, groups and organisations to examine our proposals rigorously, and to think creatively about how the Games can help in their area.

"That's why we hope people throughout Scotland will attend these events."
