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

Minister for Communities and Sport, Stewart Maxwell, said:"I hope that as many people as possible turn out in Perth next week. We want to hear their views on what they want from the 2014 Games.

"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."
