Well summed up, Sandra. An excellent statement of Seaton's needs. None of it sounds unreasonable to me!
We want Seaton to be a great place to live, as well as to visit. To be a sustainable community.
Am I being paranoid here, or are we increasingly being portrayed as the baddies?
The 1st meeting at Winstons, called with very little notice or advertising, and attended by over 300 people, was on the 26th September.
That was when Stand Up 4 Seaton officially started. The strong feeling of Seatonians, and others attending, was all about the loss of facilities to the town, which, once gone, would be unlikely to be replaced
The megamarsh project was presented to the town, along with other projects, on 1st November.
The link with between Section 106 money and the megamarsh was only officially revealed to us with the release of the agenda on the 9th or 10th November for EDDC's meeting at the Knowle on the 15th November.
EDDC is deliberately muddying the water by trying to portray us as being against the megamarsh.
We were worried about Liatris' proposed plan long before the megamarsh was brought into the equation!
WE ARE FOR SEATON, NOT AGAINST THE MEGAMARSH!!!
