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.

Dawlish and Tesco

Many of you will know that Dawlish is also being targetted by Tesco for a store. They had wanted to use a playing field to build on but that has been turned down by the council. Now, according to a site which is anti-Tesco building on the plahing field (here) Tesco either have bought or are about to buy a caravan and chalet park in Dawlish (? Ladys Mile) to have a go at building there. It seems that Sainsbury also wants to build a store in the town.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

For those who want to check out (no pun intended) where the "Big 4" are wanting to build have a look at the Tescopoly website (here) which includes under the "local campaigns" information about Seaton too.
