The Secretary of State for Culture, Media & Sport, the Rt Hon Maria Miller MP, visited Brighton & Hove yesterday to see what the city has to offer.
In a busy afternoon, Maria and Mike Weatherley, MP for Hove visited NCSoft, an online gaming publisher in Brighton, and made a brief visit to the King Alfred Leisure Centre in Hove. Maria’s tour finished up at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music (BIMM), Brighton & Hove’s premier music college, which is also in Mike’s Hove constituency.
Mike said:
“I was very pleased to show Maria a showcase of what Brighton & Hove’s creative talent has to offer. In terms of computing and music, our city has a huge plethora of business providing unique services around the world. I know that Maria was particularly impressed with the work at NCSoft and the quality of the music courses available at BIMM.”
He added:
“I also wanted to highlight to Maria the problems with the King Alfred and the opportunities that this site has to offer. I informed Maria all about the successful public meeting on Friday and stressed how much local residents want new leisure centre. I was also pleased that Jon Horne from Sport England was able to join us and meet with the Secretary of State. Maria can now see how Brighton & Hove desperately need new sporting facilities fit for the 21st Century.”
