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.

Ben Bradshaw - MP with special responsibility for the South West

Has anyone who reads this blog EVER had a reply to a letter or email written to Ben Bradshaw, MP for Exeter, Minister for the South West and Health Minister?

I would guess that over the last couple of years I have sent him half a dozen emails or letters, not one of which has had an acknowledgement, let alone a reply?

I know this man exists - I was on a packed train to Norwich a few months ago and, as I got off, I saw that he had been standing in the corridor since London - I missed my chance to barrack him about the Seaton Regeneration area.

Brownie points for not ejecting someone from a first class seat or doing "do you know who I am?" but, come on Ben (or his constituency workers - we know these "important" people don't get to read everything they are sent) - most MP's have the decency to acknowledge communications - where's your manners?

This doesn't surprise me, Labour MP's care nothing about rural issues, just look at their track record...

I thought that if you wrote to an MP at the Houses of P then they had to respond...I may be wrong and it's an urban myth!

I didn't even know we had a Minister for the South West. What does he do? He can't have much time for anything if he has three jobs.
