Manchester:
The city hosted a highly successful games in 2002 with a powerful legacy that saw regeneration throughout Manchester but what would it need to be ready for a Commonwealths 20 years on:
· Refurbishment of the aquatics centre would be needed.
· Could the venue meet the demands of an international diving event
· How would the Synchronised Swimming competition fit into existing venue space
Liverpool:
Liverpool has a long a varied sporting history but could it meet the needs of a major international multi-sport event, here’s what was identified through our poll:
· Currently the city has no diving facility
· Main swimming pool would need expansion for elite competition
· Does the city have the capacity to host Synchro?
· It would be a great driver for further regeneration of the city
Birmingham:
Birmingham has never played host to a major multi-sport event and would need to adapt to be able to deliver, here’s some of your thoughts on if they won the bid:
· Would a temporary pool setup at the NEC complex or could this be the driver for permanent 50m pool in the city?
· Where would the diving competition be held?
· A great opportunity to market the city to a worldwide audience
London:
The capital hosted a hugely successful games in 2012
· It has all the required venues to be able to deliver
· Do we want to return to London so soon for another major multi-sport event?
· An opportunity to further the Olympic and Paralympic legacy?
