S4M-02720 John Mason (Glasgow Shettleston) (Scottish National Party): That the Parliament welcomes the opening of the new Clyde Gateway (or East End Regeneration Route), the £25 million road that links the east end of Glasgow to the M74 at Polmadie; considers that this latest investment in the transport network will help regenerate the east end and bring many jobs to the area; considers that it will provide improved access to the velodrome and athletes’ village; understands that this route will help transport some 18,000 athletes and support staff as well as spectators during the 2014 Commonwealth Games; welcomes what it considers the significant development and regeneration in Glasgow’s east end as a result of the Commonwealth Games, and looks forward to this being part of a lasting legacy that will help transform the east end.
