SPT Chair delighted at Glasgow 2014 decision
Chair of SPT Councillor Alistair Watson has expressed his delight at today’s (Friday 9 November) decision to award Glasgow the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Cllr Watson said, “This is absolutely wonderful news, not only for Glasgow but for the whole of Scotland. We’d like to congratulate everyone involved in the bid for all their hard work - they simply weren’t prepared to accept second place.
“Transport will play a huge role in the success of the Games and SPT looks forward to playing its part in providing an efficient and reliable transport network that Glasgow can be proud of. We want to make it easy and stress-free for competitors, spectators and everyone involved in the Games to get around the city.
“SPT has big ideas. We want to match the ambition shown by those who have brought the Games to Glasgow. To achieve this, we look forward to working closely with the Scottish Government and our partners on a number of projects.”
