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.

While Seaton Quay sleeps

Over at Weymouth, they have started consultation for Osprey Quay.

Click on the title to go the full article but here's a few excerpts:-

"The South West Regional Development Agency has appointed a sustainable developer to build 70 eco-homes at Officer's Field, Osprey Quay."

Councillor Tim Munro, mayor of Weymouth and Portland Borough Council added: "This scheme is a vitally important key to unlocking the overall regeneration of Portland and will go a long way in meeting the housing needs of the future."

Councillor Richard Denton-White from Portland Town Council "The community have fought very hard to retain it as a public open space. We understand that there is now money available to beef up the leisure and sports use of this area and I... am delighted to see local people given a genuine opportunity to put forward their own ideas."

Leisure, sport - what are these things? I live in Seaton where the football club has one pitch and about 15 teams, where we have no community centre, no indoor sports centre and we are about to lose our gym and swimming pool.

Come to Seaton and see how the other one percent lives.

our MP doesn't care, our County Councilor doesn't want to be seen in the town and so the list goes on.
