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.

Seaton - worst town in Devon for diabetes and heart failure

I just got a document from the Devon Primary Care Trust about health trends in Devon. Seaton is the worst town in Devon for diabetes and heart failure. This can mean one of two things: one - that doctors here are much better at spotting these things than doctors in other areas; two - that we do have the highest amount of diabetes and heart failure in Devon.

Either way: what do we need? A gym - because people with diabetes MUST have exercise and, no, not everyone wants to walk up and down the seafront 20 times a day!

Anyone out there prepared to start up a gym when our only one closes in January 2009? I'm sure we could persuade Hollybush to offload their equipment for little or nothing!

It's a health thing and its serious.
