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.

Houseboats on the Axe?

The blog was contacted by a company that has just put three floating homes in Salcombe. They are not the traditional type of floating home (which looks exactly like any other house except that it also floats) these look more like houseboats. If you want to see what they look like and what they cost, see

Not to my mind the prettiest of solutions but I guess that, being boats, all they require is mooring rather than complicated planning decisions. I'm also not sure how they deal with their sewerage, etc. I gather that the tidal range in Salcombe is pretty much similar to Axmouth (but I'm no expert, so can't be sure).
