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.

Our new MP to leave before she arrives

With the new boundary changes for constituencies, we were about to lose Hugo Swire (see his letter to me below) and were to have had Angela Browning, currently MP for Tiverton and Honiton. Tonight she announced that she will be retiring at the next election.

Very wise, Angela - to whom I had been sending local correspondence so she would be up to speed with matters when she took over. I hope I didn't influence your decision not to take on the rest of East Devon!

Well, on the bright side perhaps Hugo Swire will put himself up for election for the new constituency. Though he might not be visiting Honiton or Tavistock - they are a really long drive from Woodbury Salterton (also see below), at least as far as Seaton.
