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.

The demo - on ITV West Country News tonight

Well - another excellent turn out - 350 of us according to the reporter from ITV West Country News. We also spoke to other journalists (won't name them because every time I do Mr Dinham calls them and gives the "we are nice developers speech"!

We marched to the Town Hall and it was a wonderful sight - particularly those in their nighties and the children in the boat! Not to mention Bob the Builder and Captain Birdseye along with the Grim Reaper and Hanging Judge Jeffrys - our thanks to you all.

However, this fight has only just begun. The Town Council makes its decision next Monday (advisory only) and the Development Control Committee of East Devon District Council will meet soon - we will need a big turn out for that one so watch this space.

For those who were at the Town Hall meeting who said they would like us to charter a bus to take them to the Knowle - sorted. A kind wellwisher has offered to pay for one for us (and our thanks to that local person) - more about that when the time comes.

In the meantime, watch this space and watch those cartoons - we have geniuses working for us!

I think there may need to be more than one coach, judging by the turnout today.
