Director Gordon Arthur has responded to claims that Glasgow 2014 Common wealth Games has missed deadlines by insisting arrangements are "on track."Recent press reports suggested that milestones in the build-up to the event had not been met."We've not missed 50 milestones, we have re-phased," said Arthur."We are from the organising committee's planning point of view and the Games partners' delivery of infrastructure programme, in a very good place."
Arthur insisted the organising committee was keen to ensure that public money was being spent responsibly and at the right time."We've got huge sustain from the media right across Scotland," he told BBC Radio Scotland's Sport Nation programme."One is always going to get the irregular articles where people take a different stance."A year ago, when we put together our business plan, we set out mainly based on the guidance that we get from the knowledge transfer system that's run by the Common wealth Games Federation.
"Remember, we were only about 20 people in the organising committee a year ago. We set out a programme of work, but most of what we've been doing during the year, as well as recruiting people, is understanding better the task that we've got to do and a huge amount of that understanding and knowledge move takes you to re-phasing your work."So we haven't missed milestones, we've re-phased a lot of our work and the reason we do that is to make sure we don't recruit people any earlier than we need to, or spend money any earlier than we need to.
