Mike Weatherley, MP

Mike Weatherley, the Conservative MP for Hove and Portslade, has visited a new sporting venue in his constituency.

He met business owners Tom and James at their new indoor bouldering centre on the Victoria Road Trading Estate, which is a 5 minute walk from Portslade Station.

Mike scaled the new climbing wall at the centre which he had previously supported the planning application for before it was approved by Brighton & Hove City Council.

Bouldering is a fast-growing branch of rock climbing, where people climb without ropes over safety matting at heights of up to 4 or 5 metres. There are no knots to tie, no harnesses to put on – leaving the climber free to enjoy climbing in its purest, simplest form.

**Mike said:**

> *“Boulder Brighton is a fantastic new sporting asset for Hove and Portslade as well as the city as a whole. I really enjoyed having a little climb and can completely see the appeal of bouldering as a great way to exercise. I’ll definitely be back and I wish Tom and James the best of luck with their venture.”*
