Glasgow games on track for 2014

The 2014 Commonwealth Games is on track and on budget, according to the latest progress report.

The six-monthly update highlights the various milestones which have been reached since the end of 2011, as the countdown to the Games continues.

The sports programme for the event has been confirmed and two venues, the refurbished Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh, and the international-standard bowling lawns at Kelvingrove in Glasgow, have been opened.

New sponsors have been announced and more than one million people took part in Commonwealth Day in March by wearing trainers to raise awareness of being active.

The official Glasgow 2014 Tartan, designed by 15-year-old Aamir Mehmood from Glasgow, has also been launched.
