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.

MPs attack role of Regional Development Agencies

MPs attack role of Regional Development Agencies in use of funds
destined for coastal towns:

Money earmarked for the regeneration of former fishing ports has been
spent in areas nowhere near the coast, an MP has claimed. Cleethorpoes
MP Shona McIsaac said government cash, which was allocated to the
regional development agencies, has been "divvied up almost equally across
the RDAs, including London. ... In one region, we discovered that it was
used to put new lampposts somewhere not remotely near the seaside, she said.

Let's hope our Regional Development Agency isn't one of the guilty parties.
