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.

It's the odd boy who doesn't like sport...

A Sport England report is busy making the news right now.

Our area appears to be in the median range of the survey at 20.24 - 22.35% of adults taking 30 minutes or more moderate intensity sport or activity at least 3 times a week.
Astute readers will spot that in the top 3 activities, swimming and gym appear, just after walking at number 1, in the list.

Let me take a leap of assumption and suggest that the current plan will remove 2 out of 3 of the main exercise-intensive local activities in this area?
Critics of my assumption will point out that these points will be replaced by more of point 1 - walking.....yes..it's a big Tesco innit?


I note that Harrogate scores slightly better...perhaps they have a bigger Tesco....or dare I suggest....better community facilities?
