I recently tuned in to BBC 1's Inside Out programme, which showed the Axe Estuary, its recently opened salt-water lagoon and future plans for improvement being extolled by its very well-known wildlife presenter.Being regaled almost daily by the vitriol engendered by the shadowed planning applications submitted in the past, present and, no doubt, future, it was inspiring to see something that, coupled with Sustran's projected cycle track, is both affordable and achievable. When up and running, it will greatly benefit Seaton and surrounding areas with regard to both tourism and trade and, dare I say, with less hassle and delay.John SewardLyme Mews Seaton
