As Labour's Leisure, Arts and Communities spokesperson in Dundee, I have welcomed the news that the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships will be held in Glasgow in 2015. I've called for the City Council and Dundee Leisure to make every effort to ensure that the new gymnastics facility at the McTaggart Centre is used as a training venue for teams competing in the competition.
I am delighted that Dundee City Council is investing in the McTaggart Centre and making it a regional centre for gymnastics training. I know that gymnastics is a very popular sport in Dundee, it would be good if this excellent new facility in Dundee was used by international gymnasts in the days leading up to the world championships in Glasgow. I hope that the investment in the new facility in Dundee will even lead to Dundee gymnasts being part of the British team at the world championships.
International athletes training in Dundee would bring international attention to our city and would also be a great encouragement to young gymnasts in the city.
