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.

Meeting with EDDC, Tesco and some Seaton councillors

For those looking for an update on the meeting between East Devon District Council, some Seaton town councillors and Tesco last week, please be patient for a day or two. There are currently some issues of contention between those councillors who were present and the Tesco PR company about the press release put out the next day on behalf of Tesco. As soon as these issues are resolved (or if they are not resolved, as soon as we can let people know what the issues are) an update will be published here.

To clarify a point: it was NOT a meeting of Seaton Town Council with Tesco.

Those council members who were able to attend the meeting (at very short notice) did so as individuals and NOT as Seaton Town Council. Seaton Town Council cannot take decisions unless a proposal is put to the Town Council in the proper manner. No proposal has yet been put to full council and no decisions were taken on behalf of Seaton Town Council at the meeting.
