PROMOTE SEATON-MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN
It is my intention to restart the PROMOTE SEATON PARTNERSHIP at the end of August & before the September full Council meeting. So many great ideas have originated from this group and I would like to develop it encouraging more people. I plan to hold 2 meetings initially both on Zoom, 1 for the main group & 1 for the businesses who are unable to normally attend meetings.
Therefore I would like everyone who has any ideas including old or existing ideas that you have & believe could promote Seaton in any way to forward your ideas to cllrdelhaggerty@seaton.gov.uk
At the last meeting held at Marshlands if you remember I stated, that all ideas are great, if one person fails in doing something, we can try it another way with people from the group. When sending me your ideas I will be happy to discuss them between us if you are not happy discussing with the group. Every idea is important and it’s achievability will be given every chance to succeed.

Thank you for asking for ideas - appreciated. 1/ Reapply for Seaton esplanade regeneration and don’t let the planning permission lapse again if granted. So far to my knowledge this has cost Seaton town council - Architectural thread ltd £23,885.20 Sands engineering ltd £11,780.00 Roy Simmonds surveyors £1,250.00 Other fees/charges £7,545.30 All exc vat. All for nothing as planning has now unfortunately lapsed. 2/ reinstate outdoor gym - although I believe this is being actioned. Seaton has some wonderful attractions already and is a naturally stunning part of the coast. It is very undervalued. Many thanks.
A structured marketing plan is needed based on a thorough analysis of Seatons strengths and weaknesses as perceived by visitors and prospective visitors not us locals. This then needs to be galvanised into a costed, communications plan and directed at targetted segments of the market where we have a unique offer that makes them want to visit - not just on a day trip but for overnight repeat stays. This is a full time job for someone with project management, marketing, sales and financial experience, ideally from Seaton. Let's not do this on the cheap again like we did 3 years ago when we wasted £40,000 on an Exeter based agency and have very little to show for it.
this sounds good Del. I have two questions - is there any budget leftover from the £60K announced 2 years ago when the One Voice Media marketing agency was appointed to promote Seaton?And secondly, what results did their inovlement bring eg footall, press column inches, bookings etc
I wish you success in this venture. 👍
I think it would be great if the swimming pool was open all year round & do swimming lessons 4 mothers & toddlers. I used 2 be over the camp all the time be4 it got taken down. As that had everything. Maybe at Wetlands aswell have a mini play area 4 the kids or some more animals.
Outside gym & decent loos!
there are some great ideas being suggested, here & emailed to me, if you have an idea, so as explain your idea how you see it, i can make sure its presented to the group in advance of the proposed zoom meeting, please keep the emails coming to me, i willl responding to everyone, cllrdelhaggerty@seaton.gov.uk
Well done Del. 👍
Good luck Del I will have a think and get back to you 🙌🏼
Can the owners of the old racal and seaton heights sites be forced to sell to a developer or anything? Its pretty embarassing coming into seaton via theae routes and seeing these derelict sites, whixh has been the case for over 15 years and nothing has ever been done about.

We’ll be discussing items such as:
• Election of Vice Chairman/Deputy Mayor
• Update on Council Priorities
• Promoting Seaton in 2021
• Community Consultation - Allowing the public to inform future council plans
• Future Seaton Events
• Consideration of Grant Applications

Will this be recorded and available to view later please?
Can you tell me how long the meeting usually is?
Hi How do I view the meeting.
I would like to make a statement during 20/COU/05 Public Question Time. I assume I can simple attend the meeting and speak at the appropriate time.
Team Seaton pleased to lend gazebos to Happy Hawks Childcare at Seaton Primary for the summer so the children can enjoy some fun activities. #teamseaton #STC
THANK YOU
Seaton Town Council would like to say a big thank you to Cllrs Rowland & Shaw for all the time, effort and wise counsel that they have given during their years on Seaton Town Council. Due to their extensive portfolios at East Devon District Council and Devon County Councils respectively, both have recently taken the decision to step down as town councillors, but their legacy to the town will continue. STC looks forward to working with them in their District and County roles, going forward.
