Regenerating Exmouth seafront >>> demonstration Saturday 12th November

There is so much 'regeneration' happening in the District:

The District Council is concentrating its efforts on Exmouth however:
1 November 2016 - East Devon District Council prepares Exmouth site for regeneration - East Devon

There are multiple issues involved, though:

The need for a new start:
Council considers re-marketing Exmouth seafront site - News - Exmouth Journal
Here's reaction to news Exmouth's landmark £18m seafront project could be re-marketed | Exeter Express and Echo

The need for more cash:
Exmouth overspend and its worrying ramifications | East Devon Watch 

And the need for more consultation:
EDDC to hold consultation on Queen’s Drive - News - Exmouth Journal

Because there hasn't been very much of it:
Futures Forum: Regenerating Exmouth seafront >>> integrating or ignoring 'consultation'?
Futures Forum: Regenerating Exmouth seafront >>> "Please listen to us!"
Futures Forum: Regenerating Exmouth seafront >>> "Transition Exmouth calls on the chair of Exmouth Regeneration Board to demonstrate a willingness to listen to an outside expert and issue an invitation to Wayne Hemingway to visit our town."

A demonstration on Saturday should show the extent of public feeling on the 'regeneration' project:
