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.

OK everyone - let's keep up the fight and we need specific help!

OK Wednesday evening over, back to the barricades!

Next step is to be as sorted as possible for when the planning application goes in. No doubt, whatever date it goes in , the developer's plan will be to include the Christmas period in the 28 day consultation period, so we have to get ourselves organised quickly.

What we need at the moment are people who have particular expertise in the following areas (even a little expertise will help). We know there are lots of people in Seaton who come from interesting and varied backgrounds and we need to see how many of them will rally to us in our time of need.

Experts needed:

Law - obviously! Where is the newly retired solicitor with time on his or her hands!
Ecology and biodiversity
Geology and contamination
Water resources and flood risk
Landscape and visual impact
Transport impact
Air quality
Noise
Cultural heritage
Energy and resource use
Waste management

We already have some volunteers in most of these areas but we need MORE. When the planning application goes in there will have to be separate reports on the above - some of them very long reports - and we need people to go through these reports with a fine tooth comb.

Reply if you have any such skills to: axevalleyrocks@yahoo.co.uk
(axevalleyrocks all one word).

We have already recruited several people who can cover some of these areas but we need more. If you really value Seaton and you have (any) expertise you can share, get in touch
as quickly as possible
