Express & Star comment: Commonwealth Games centre we can all be proud of
It is great to see that plans for a new aquatics centre in the heart of the Black Country are gathering pace.
The £60 million development has been earmarked for Smethwick and will host events in the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
It is expected to feature an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a 25-metre diving pool and 5,000 spectator seats, in what is sure to be a venue that the region can be proud of.
