Although most venues for the 2022 Commonwealth Games are located in the West Midlands, the Lee Valley VeloPark in London, more than 100 miles away from Birmingham, was chosen to host the track cycling.[3] This caused a lot of backlash amongst residents in the West Midlands, and even resulted in a petition that was signed by 6,000 locals that urged for a new velodrome to be built in the West Midlands instead of using one in London.[4]Nonetheless, a new velodrome in the West Midlands was ruled out on grounds of the cost.[5]
