Glasgow’s regeneration efforts have been accelerated by at least 15 years according to Archie Graham, deputy leader of Glasgow City Council.

It’s just one positive effect the Commonwealth Games are having on the city.

Yet health inequalities and poverty are still worse in Glasgow than any other UK city.

Can the Commonwealth Games – a 12 day event – realistically hope to tackle the city’s deep-rooted problems?

Will the games leave a lasting legacy?

It's a good springboard but would require more work to keep momentum going over a longer period if we are to see a lasting legacy. Unfortunately, I feel much of what we would like to achieve in Scotland is hampered by decisions made at Westminster.
