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.

OK Tesco - Sainsbury's just raised the stakes. Where's your answer to this since you are always quick to give one!

I suppose they could put them across the floodplain bit, wouldn't have an infill issue then!

They could put them on the wetlands too - very ecological! Then the wetlands could power the Tesco store and EDDC and Tesco would be happy.

I see Tesco plans its first small "eco store" in Ottery St Mary and its first big eco store in Seaton.

Funny that, looks like East Devon wins the eco-lottery with Tesco. That will give them brownie points with the planners.

On further looking though it seems that the few Tesco ideas mentioned (wind catches, grey water recycling, ecoboiler) are those that have already been proved to save money all over the world.

Nothing new under the sun.

Methinks the prefix "eco" is going to become its own cliche, like "ultra" is to soap powder.
At one stroke the magic 3 letters conjure up a comforting vision of a brighter, greener, enviro-friendly (oops another cliche victim) future, where you trust that everything good is being done "just-for-you".

"Wool over eyes" is the vision I get.

Thinking about that, "eco" is already a soap powder prefix!
