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.

The problem of playtime...

It's jawstretchingly interesting to read of what Devon County Council has done for the youth of Seaton, particularly with it's party political overtones not-quite-subliminally embedded in it.
But it evades an essential truth, the youth of Seaton are being sold down the river today, not yesterday. The fact that DCC chopped its budget and the impending new improved application is imminent mean that there is a real risk that the youth of the town will lose out once more. Yes it is time we all worked together, but for the benefit of Seaton's youth, not one's own ego or budgetary minutae. Why am I having this rant?
