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.

Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline

A hotline has been launched to help members of the public report abandoned shopping trolleys in canals and rivers.

British Waterways, which is organising the scheme, estimates 3,000 are dumped annually, and that fishing them out of its network costs £150,000 each year.

It says the hotline will be used to help recover trolleys, and name the supermarkets which own them.

Chief Executive Robin Evans said there was "much more the supermarket chains can do to take more responsibility".

What are we standing up for?

1. Regeneration not degeneration; a return to the original development brief
2. Community facilities for the whole town within the regeneration area
3. Seaton residents to derive the majority of the direct benefits from Section 106 payments
4. Real public consultation on all stages of the regeneration process
5. A *megamarsh* funded by external sources and not from Section 106 income from the regeneration area
6. The maximum possible amount of affordable housing in the regeneration area
7. The continuation of long-stay tourism on the regeneration site
8. A landmark Visitors Centre
9. A sustainable solution to flood water management in and around the regeneration area
10. A cutting-edge environmental approach to regeneration
