Stand Up For Seaton?
What are we standing up for?
- 1. Regeneration not degeneration; a return to the original development brief
- 2. Community facilities for the whole town within the regeneration area
- 3. Seaton residents to derive the majority of the direct benefits from Section 106 payments
- 4. Real public consultation on all stages of the regeneration process
- 5. A *megamarsh* funded by external sources and not from Section 106 income from the regeneration area
- 6. The maximum possible amount of affordable housing in the regeneration area
- 7. The continuation of long-stay tourism on the regeneration site
- 8. A landmark Visitors Centre
- 9. A sustainable solution to flood water management in and around the regeneration area
- 10. A cutting-edge environmental approach to regeneration

OK Tesco - Sainsbury's just raised the stakes. Where's your answer to this since you are always quick to give one!
I suppose they could put them across the floodplain bit, wouldn't have an infill issue then!
They could put them on the wetlands too - very ecological! Then the wetlands could power the Tesco store and EDDC and Tesco would be happy.
I see Tesco plans its first small "eco store" in Ottery St Mary and its first big eco store in Seaton.
Funny that, looks like East Devon wins the eco-lottery with Tesco. That will give them brownie points with the planners.
On further looking though it seems that the few Tesco ideas mentioned (wind catches, grey water recycling, ecoboiler) are those that have already been proved to save money all over the world.
Nothing new under the sun.
Methinks the prefix "eco" is going to become its own cliche, like "ultra" is to soap powder.
At one stroke the magic 3 letters conjure up a comforting vision of a brighter, greener, enviro-friendly (oops another cliche victim) future, where you trust that everything good is being done "just-for-you".
"Wool over eyes" is the vision I get.
Thinking about that, "eco" is already a soap powder prefix!
