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.

From Regeneration and Renewal

The British countryside will become a "theme park for the rich" without
urgent action to tackle rural housing shortages. Analysis found that
house prices have risen 11 times average local earnings in areas such as
north Cornwall and Berwick on Tweed. Measures such as releasing
surplus public land for affordable housing has been slow to be
implemented. The National Housing Federation is calling for the
right-to-buy to be restricted in rural areas.
