Anyone seen the Tesco handout?
Has anyone seen the Tesco handout qasking people to write in with their support for "a supermarket" in Seaton? Some people seem to have received one and others don't.

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

I have not seen it. The distribution may be directed only to tesco card holders or other possible supporters. Sounds fishy to me and probably especially designed to give a sound bite for PR dogs. Interesting also that all quotes seem to be from the same person.
I did hear about this and it apparently seemed like a rather last ditch plea for some support, possibly due to the opposition they have received. Hopefully they are growing more desperate by the day and this plan, which was environmentally,socially and economically poorly thought out, will be consigned to distant memory.
A resident passed me a copy.
It seems to come direct from Tesco, not PR Dogs. Why keep dogs & bark yourself?
The last paragraph states "I am Robert Bignold the Regional Property Director.." and ends with "If you would like to contact me please e-mail me at Seatonregeneration@uk.tesco.com "
Hmmm what a good idea.
I suspect the letters have gone to those who expressed some support on their open day. Despite Tesco's claims there do not seem to be many of them as there are few letters of support on the planning website.
No news of an application from Sainsburys - so they have given up too?
