Seaton and the 2012 Olympics!

You may laugh but there is an article in the newspaper today saying that teams which have to come to the UK in advance of the Olympics may go as far afield as Yorkshire so that their teams can get the facilities to practice before the Games.

Bearing in mind that Seaton is only 40 miles from Weymouth, where the sailing will be, it is totally possible that a team (or many teams) would need accommodation not too far from Weymouth. How many towns within 40 miles of Weymouth could put up 500 Olympic team members every single night?

Well, pretty soon if our developers have their way the answer will be that Seaton certainly won't be able to do it, as they plan to demolish our holiday village (along with all our community facilities) which would have taken up to 500 people per night before, during and after the Olympic events at Weymouth.

Just think of the small fortune that Martyn Harrison, owner of Lyme Bay Holiday Village, will be forfeiting. Unless, of course, he gets oodles of money for leaving the site to the developers.
