Stand Up For Seaton (SU4S)

Community Action for Seaton's Regeneration Area, 80% owned by Tesco - a floodplain on a World Heritage site bordered by nature reserves, tidal river, the sea and the unspoilt town. SU4S is a state of mind - no members, no structure, no politics. SU4S has objected to 2 planning applications by Tesco, including one for a massive superstore/dot com distribution centre which led to the recent closure on the site of 400 tourist beds with the loss of 150 jobs,a gym and pool - all used by locals.

Seaton facts and figures

See links on the right for the full pdf document.
It's worth a view, with the aid of a calculator I can see that the average growth of population in Seaton is around 85 people, roughly translating to a requirement of ooh 40 odd houses.

So, it would appear that the Signet/Liatris 450 house plan requires not just the trans-shipment of several metric tonnes of infill, but several busloads of people...what will they sell the would be Seaton homesteaders?...err...shopping and diy seem to appear at the top of their priorities, things like regenerating the local economy or community issues don't seem to appear on the radar.
