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.

regeneration - a liberal view

As Dave Hill says, regeneration schemes evoke passion...and when I look around the web the one thing that strikes me is "we are not alone"

Finding the "right" answer is no easy task...but listening, and more importantly, accepting what the local populace want for their area is key.

I often feel that some corners of society have all too quickly adopted the "We hear what you say, but you're wrong" attitude and "it's for the best really" is probably the worst cliche. But I digress, Dave's article can be found here
