Seaton Hospital made Asset of Community Value by EDDC
East Devon District Council has declared Seaton Hospital an Asset of Community Value, which obliges its owners, NHS Property Services (NHSPS), to give the community first refusal in case of disposal.
NHSPS had opposed the move, but EDDC leader Paul Arnott (Lib Dem, Coly Valley), urged them to recognise local public opinion and refrain from appealing against the decision.
This is another step towards securing the whole of the hospital for continuing use as a centre for health and wellbeing.

The action taken by EDDC in declaring Seaton Hospital as a community asset is a great step forward.
The NHS appeal against this decision fails to recognize the great value that the local public attach to medical facilities that can be accessed locally.
