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.

It's not just Tesco, of course

Just so that people understand that it isn't just Tesco which is featured on this site it should be pointed out that the Tescopoly site (here) details two places in South West England where Sainsbury have upset the local populace. Of the 22 places in the south-west reporting difficulties with supermarkets, 20 of them are Tesco but 2 of them are Sainsbury: Saltash, where it is said that they want to build on a sports field and Bishopston near Bristol where it is said they want to add to the 9 supermarkets already in the locality.

We do know that Sainsbury's has been talking to local community groups and to Seaton Town Council but we do not yet know what they have in mind (if anything) for Seaton - but when we do, you can be sure we will let you know!
