The Mysterious Death of the Petrol Station

This item caught my eye, as there are pros and cons to the whole problem of petrol/fossil fuel usage.

On the one hand, Seaton has one petrol filling station and a lot of residents are car dependent. Even with 250+ jobs replacing the 150+ people will still have to travel, by car, to work/school/leisure activity...in my view because East Devon is a predominantly rural area with towns dotted over it.

On the other, there is a growing push to reduce the petrol use by changing the local community area into a more sustainable one, thus reducing dependence on oil.
