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.

On BBC Spotlight this evening about oil on beach

Sandra has recorded an interview for BBC Spotlight this evening talking about Seaton's "hidden" problem - oil on the beach from the recent Napoli problems.

Seaton is being ignored because you can's "see" our problem - but you try walking on the beach for more than a minute and you will certainly feel it. Oil all over your shoes, up your legs, on your bag, etc. Hardly anyone on beach - disaster.

What connection with this blog? Well, this is a good test of the regeneration plans. We have almost no tourists at the start of the holiday season. When Seaton has 3 or 4 years of construction traffic and no car parks this will be the sort of thing we will experience - no tourists to speak of.
