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.

Tesco plans for the regeneration area - which are the right ones?

anyone else notice that the plans on page 1 of todays View from Seaton for the regeneration area are totally different to the plans that Tesco put up for exhibition which are shown on page 3 of the same newspaper.

On the front page one, the Seaton Visitor Centre is shown squashed in between the store and what looks like housing or other shops fronting the Underfleet so you can't actually see the Visitor Centre at all well from the road - just glimpses here and there. On the one that was at the Tesco exhibition the Visitor Centre fronted directly on to the Underfleet so that tourists could see it.

AND all the houses and shops on Harbour Road (fish shop, Indian restaurant, Kings Court, etc) seem o have totally disappeared to be replaced by parking! I wonder what the people who live there think!

anyone from Tesco able to explain the difference between the two plans please?

The picture on the front page of the View from Seaton shows the proposed site from the bottom of Harbour Road looking West (from the holiday camp towards the underfleet roundabout) If you look closely you can see Blue Waters Close & Kings court to the left of the picture, and in the distance Haven Court, The Underfleet & Jubilee Lodge. Maybe our stand-up for Seaton supporters need to familiarise themselves a little more with the layout of harbour road & the proposed regeneration site! I would be more than happy to help anyone - I've only lived here all my life so I'm quite familiar with it!

I agree, let Tesco get on with it, it's what this town needs as the town is dead already and it may bring somepeople into the town!!
