12 Reasons Why Clacton on Sea Is One of The Worst Places in England

- Why Clacton on sea is one of the worst places in England? In our video that features Clacton-on-Sea as one of the towns in England, we tried to stay on the positive side. We knew for sure that the town has many more going against it than for it. We are sorry, we just have to focus on the negatives now. We have once proved that it is a poor town to live in. It goes without saying that a poor town can hardly be one of the best towns. In this video, we will give 12 reasons why Clacton-on-Sea is one of the worst places to live in England. Of course, we would also try to state the defense of those who do not want to agree with that ranking.
1. It’s a shadow of its past
Clacton-on-Sea used to be one of the best traditional seaside towns in its country. For some 100 years, the seafront has presumably been a destination for holidaymakers. Unfortunately, the town’s reputation has plummeted in recent times. It’s now being overshadowed by the other seaside destinations. It’s no longer the seaside resort people flock to when they need a break from everyday life. The last part of the 20th century saw holidaymakers turning to cheaper and richer package holidays elsewhere and making trips abroad for their break away. This turned the town into a place without purpose. Thus, visitors no longer have reasons to visit Clacton-on-Sea as was the early case in the 1900s.
2. The town is drab
Just try and look up this town and see what your search result will be. It’s just like an empty space on the web. This is because nothing is really happening there. It’s like a place stuck in a time wrap. You will discover that very little progress is being made in this town in many aspects. They have no leisure complexes like the ones in Basildon, Colchester, and Southend. The same housings have been there for over a century without modern touches. They don’t have retail options and this leaves the town stagnant. Not much will be seen in the town reflecting his history and culture.
3. The Dry Seafront
Seafronts towns are naturally not a place for serious investment unless there are some serious initiatives. These are what is missing in Clacton-on-Sea. It lacks investment, unlike some seaside towns like Margate and Leigh-on-Sea that have adapted and become trendy. All you’d find in Clacton-on-Sea is the same pier and amusements of the time past. That makes it an old-fashioned town. In defense of the town, it’s being promised that the pier will soon have a new rollercoaster installed on it. They also claim that in the summer months, there’s plenty to buy in terms of food and drink.
4. Its high street is uninviting
The high street in the town is nothing to write home about. Businesses are closing down while empty shops line both sides of the street. No new ones are opening up. Most of the few shops still operating in this town are still charity shops and pound shops. That means you’ve got no compelling reason to do shopping here as you won’t have enough to buy. No wonder Clacton-on-Sea is one of the worst places to live in England. Lovers of this town believe that the plan to build 250 new homes in the Little Clacton part of the town, off Thorpe Road, if successful will increase the population and bring in new leisure and hospitality businesses.
5. It's Depressing
Tendring has been described as one of the most depressing places to live more than once in reliable rankings including the ones in the official sources. This is mainly due to the level of deprivation in their towns without any prospects. That’s why residents are unhappy. Those among them seeking happiness do move elsewhere. Though a recent government survey reveals that many residents of Tendring are happy with their local authority area, with many of them rating themselves 7.5 out of 10 in the happiness index, Clacton residents are especially not happy. Clacton-on-Sea is the reason the whole local authority is regarded as depressing.

I absolutely love clacton great people good pubs &if you look there is plenty to do with regular buses to colchester and Walton on the naze .I intend to move to clacton in the near future to escape London
Same I been planning to move there after going two years in a row to the caravan sites I loved it
I too plan on moving there to escape London. This video is such a hard reach, Clacton is a lot better than most places honestly
This is obviously created as an info guide for overseas "students" as to where not to "settle" during their "studies". We residents of Clacton love the fact that others run us down, we get to keep how lovely a lifestyle we have on our little peninsula to ourselves. It's hard here with our micro-climate and long hours of sunshine, miles of beaches and commutability into the city of London, Chelmsford, Colchester, Ipswich and Norwich for work. Please go to Basildon, as the narrator of this video suggested, there you will find shopping opportunities, a great nightlife, and well appointed leisure centre.
Went the other day its bloddy Beautifull. I live in southend now that's a real dump foreigners quickly over taking. More expensive no room on beach people complete half brains. But clacton I'm in love with
This is nonsense, I have a friend that lives there. Absolutely loves it.
They are either insane or live in Holland
I have lived in Clacton for 2 years now and I feel nothing but hatred for the place.
I have never been so bored in all my life.
Ive been Clacton recently it was nice not bad in any way I saw nothing broken all developed buildings very safe
What a load of old tosh,
yes the town centre needs a bit of investment and a few more shops, but they have done a great job on the pier, and the seafront gardens are very well maintained, the beach isn’t as bad as you say. In fact quite nice.
So overall a very unbalanced view,.
Clacton has some really good friendly people with heart and community spirit brought up from the
East End of London.
Despite the commentry looks pretty good. The council should not allow McDonalds to paint a beautiful Victorian building black.
As someone who used to take regular day trips to Clacton for several years (until we switched to Felixstowe) I can't recognise it from the comments in this video. It is what it is, a nice little seaside resort, with (in my view) fairly good shopping facilities. I don't care much for places that replace their traditional buildings with modern stuff, and in my view the pier was always a lively and entertaining place.
What you are saying about clacton pier couldnt be further from the truth. It recently had an update and it is now great
There's nothing on the pier except generic arcades and rides.
It's political (in case you hadn't noticed). Not a bad mainstream word was ever said about Clacton before Brexit. Ever since Clacton elected UKIP's only MP and gained a reputation as being the main Brexit town, pro-EU supporters and organisations have been trying their hardest to discredit Clacton. Not just Clacton - everyone and every thing that contributed to Brexit in some way has been in the firing line, involved in some kind of contrived scandal or just treated like a pariah, from Boris Johnson to Dominic Raab to Phones4U, Wetherspoon, John Cleese, Patisserie Valerie...
Clacton is actually a really nice place. You only have to visit the town to realise that the criticism it gets is bizarre and is obviously part of some wider political manipulation. God forbid a nice English town would want to leave the EU. Portray the town as a downmarket flea-infested cesspit and you also discredit its population and decision making process.
Weeeeeell....you might have the semblance of a point if Brexit was actually good for something. Except it isn't. There isn't a single-not a fucking one-tangible, verifiable advantage to leaving the EU. There are, however, an absolute fuck ton of downsides, most of which Brexit morons were warned about before the referendum, but which were dismissed contemptuously as 'Project Fear'. So, since Brexit fuckwits got us into this godawful mess, perhaps they should be held responsible for getting us out of it, and until they do they need to be made to realise the enormity of their actions.
It is not a nice place. It is depressing. It's so run down with dodgy people all around. Not saying there aren't some very nice people there. There are many. But Clacton is horribly depressing to me. Never seen so many stooped old folks riding round on electric scooters and young single mothers out and about....
It's not abandoned it's owned by billy and Eliot ball 😕 and I have been their so many times.
I visited Clacton in the early 70s for the first time with my parents. And I loved to be there - the beach , the amusements, the people. Ok I had to mention that I had relatives living there. We continued traveling to Clacton until around 1990 and it seems that a lot has changed since then. Nevertheless I love that place. BTW I'm German.
POW ?
Definitely not great, but it is still decent.
On the plus side it has beautiful seafront gardens, a wide sandy beach Brighton would be envious of and eatery prices that put London to shame. !
A similar video could be made in Paris or Barcelona without needing to try to hard. Alternatively, You could have easily made a video that would depict Clacton as a thriving popular Seaside resort. It would have been just as misleading. Showing early morning streets in lousy weather and using pictures of the station exterior is hardly typical of anywhere! Add to this, the photos of a bloody knife and a handcuffed man to shock the audience are simply manipulative.
I've Been To Clacton In March This Year,And I Don't See Anything Wrong With The Town Whatsoever. This Is A Total Joke. I Never See Anything Depressing With It. Learning Canteen,How Dare You Insult The Residents. There Is Plenty To Do In Clacton,There's Amusements,Great Restaurants,Cafes,And Also Good Shops Although They Are Few And Far Between. You Are Just Insulting The Residents,Also,You Are Overestimating The Bad Reputation Of The Town. Also,When I Went There,There Was Virtually No Crime Whatsoever During The Day. And The Crime,Even Though You Might Think The Crime Is Bad,But Clacton Is Not The Most Dangerous Area In Reality. I'm Sorry To Say This,That You Never Want To Go Anywhere In The UK,Not Even Any Remote Parts. Not All The UK Is Beautiful,But,There Are Lots Of Beautiful Landmarks And Gorgeous Beaches,Though. It's Not Research You Are Looking Up,I Think It's False Information. Sorry Learning Canteen,But This Video Is Absolute Sh*t,An Insult To The Residents Of The Town And It's Also An Overestimation Of The Press.
Totally agree, its well cared for by the council - The videos a pile crap
Totally True Indeed.
I Already Did Just Now. Hopefully,RUclips Takes Down This Video,Instead Of Bottling Everything Up. I Feel Sorry For The Residents In Clacton,Having To Suffer Bad Press. It's Certainly Not Right At All. If Learning Canteen Thinks That Everything To Do With The UK Is Complete Sh*t,Then They Can All Think Again. Not All The UK Is Sh*t,Certainly Not Clacton-On-Sea. Although,The Shops,Cafes And Restaurants Are Very Few And Far Between,There Is A Nice Beach Along With Amusements,Ice Cream/Donut Stalls,A Good Chippy Right At The Entrance Of Clacton Pier. What More Could You Want. There Is Also A Ferris Wheel,With Beautiful Views Of Clacton-On-Sea From The Air. Learning Canteen Doesn't See It,They Think It's An Absolute Dump. When I Went On Holiday To Clacton-On-Sea In March 2023,There Was Very Little Crime When I Went There. It Was A Great Experience When I Went. This Video Is So Misleading,It Should Be Taken Down With A Copyright Warning Notice On The Video. They Are Not Encouraging Clacton-On-Sea To Grow,Develop And Invest. Learning Canteen Can Just A'win Bile Yer Heid. A'win Bile Your Head,Means In Scottish Term,For Go Take A Running Jump,Or In This Case,Get Lost And Get Left Behind.
I have been to Clacton many times by GA (Greater Anglia), and I've seen nothing wrong with it
We just bought a house in Clacton because we love the place. ❤ very nice pier, lot of entertainment there, restaurants around, shops on High Street. Everything what we will need for a good life.
Brilliant! Just be careful, as there are some dodgy blokes around.
I really like clacton…..when I was there if you wanted to sing a song a pianist would play for you.. it was at a hotel near the pier..
I grew up in Clacton b:1950 until 1968. During that time Clacton changed from a leading resort with a Butlin's camp (indoor pool) to a mod and rocker punk town. My dad owned a cafeteria next to the pier and earned enough in the 12 week season to live on for a year. Kids don't see the world the way adults do and summer fun was always on the menu. I would love to go back but am now entrenched in Miami and no longer want to travel.
I can't knock CoS as I've never been there, but l do like to Google image of places l plan to visit. People's opinions can vary greatly so l don't listen to what people say. But after looking at images of Clacton l changed my mind about going. Words can lie but photos don't.
I love here and this have better been made like 200 years ago or I am coming for this man
Are you British?
Mait i live in clacton it is save and nice
This video must be a re upload as these pictures are very old and it’s before the pier renovation
Clacton is pretty nice
Two years ago I stayed in Clacton while visiting a sick relative. Yes it is packed with poor people. Apart from walking along the beach and a few pubs it was hard to find entertainment. But the local residents I met were so friendly and kids playing said they think Clacton is gorgeous. Every time I went out I met people laughing and enjoying theirselves . I would have liked to stay longer. It was hot and sunny but I never could stand it if it was cold and wintry. and
i think you need to go back there , what you have took photos of railway station and churches , yes jaywick is run down , i have walk there during the day and night , people are friendly and that about 3miles from clacton , we work and live in london all week , then we go down our house on weekend , we love it there , and yes it got a cinema
The people make a place. Clacton may be deprived but the people are lovely and it is a close community. I love going there. You can keep Basildon. I would not swim in the sea off Clacton anyway because of the undertow. You get that in most North Sea coasts tbh.
What a pile of rubbish !!! Visited the place since I was about 3, moved there in 2003, what pile of crap. Its a great place to live.
No it isn't, I'm bored to death living here. there's nothing to do and no one seems to care I exist, no matter how friendly I am.
@@LukeyBoyAndTheCatlings Have a bath and use deodorant
12 reasons? I don’t think so. You repeatedly dwell on the same subject more than once as a different reason.
We all know Jaywick is run down. It’s not dissimilar to many other seaside towns which have their own run down areas, but you don’t really specify that.
You fail to mention that Clacton has two theatres, a cinema, an escape room, adventure farm, garden of remembrance, a shopping village, a golf club and a history museum!
Also the people of Clacton on Sea are quite possibly the most welcoming of people when you visit their town. Yes the pier has seen better days but they are making improvements on that which again you fail to mention.
As for crime, Clacton’s crime rates are minuscule in comparison to the town of Edmonton that I live in.
Perhaps next time it would be more appropriate to look at some positives as well. Rather than sticking a knife into the heart of the town.
I have relatives there. Though always went on holiday every year ...till I lived there 2007 till 2010. Lots of crime and wasn't the same as it used to be. Shame.
The only down note for me was the seafood pitch had no vinegar.
Jellyfish might hinder a short swim.
Their called Abanian men of war, no relation to the Portuguese man of war.
There was a pub named after a Derby winner in Jaywick, the horse was Never Say Die.
Viva Clackers.
Ok I’m reading the comments and let me tell you the view of a teenager who has lived there for their whole life. After years of living here it gets so boring and nothing changes. Toby Carvery is being renovated which is good for us. The pier has the roller coaster but it’s still shit. It needs to be redone because it’s so cramped and boring. I disagree at the part where he said we had no cinemas, pubs or libraries. We do. Anyways it is shit and there’s too many potholes aswell. The whole town would need to be redone it sucks and there’s dickheads everywhere. There’s road man constantly in the town everywhere and it feels unsafe to go there.
What a pack of lies you have reported! You state there is no leisure centres, well you obviously didn't look far enough, you stated there was no cinema, when you actually filmed one! I moved from abroad to live here and have no regrets at all, I wonder where you live??? Crime is everywhere these days, Clacton is no different, the pier has been refurbished, maybe you should come back and update your video to 12 GOID REASONS TO LIVE IN CLACTON! If it's that awkward to get to, then my advice is STAY AWAY!
There are library's cinemas pins restraints and musems so stop the lieing
Nope 100% disagree
Victor meldrew commentary 😮
There has been trouble with rats,2 houses have blown up the gas pipe,if you visit bring stab proff jackit,
Terrible grammar in the commentary, stopped watching
I went to Clacton once. I think it was on a Tuesday.
This guy hasn't been there. Computer generated chatbot nonsense
clearly not been to skegness have ya old pal ! i would rather be in clacton
Very negative video...plenty to do in Clacton and the pier has had a lot of investment in the last few years!
Absolute codswalop
This is nonsense.
clacton is lovely
I looked at holidaying here in the UK at resorts like Clacton and it's a damn sight more expensive than holidaying abroad. That's partly why UK resorts are losing out. A failure to invest in upgrading facilities is a major cause.
You got a nice beach and prier and a wimpy along of towns dont have Hastings as only got the old town whsts nice
We got a lot of wedos
Vos ischt dis
I used to go to clacton cinema a lot because I could see a new movie for like 3 quid
Wow one stabbing and it’s the most dangerous place in the uk.
What a load of rubbish go to london mate and see how many murders are happening on a daily basis Clacton is lovely have fond memories as a kid visiting better than Southend
Okay it looks old because it's 152 years old my guy
The problem isn't the 'town' but the people, most ignorant I've ever found.
Some old man came up to me and said he saw two guerillas going down the street.
I over heard an old lady say some Chinese man broke into her house and set fire to her dining room table.
Then I was following a woman around and she suddenly projectile vomited pink liquid everywhere.
I hate it down here.
Most of the crime came from large influx from the Londons East End so what can one expect
Clacton will go the same way that Folkestone in Kent went.
Clacton will go the same way as Folkstone in Kent.
Welcome to Brexit Island.
Don't take these reasons as facts, as this video is highly subjective with most reasons being outdated and even completely wrong, zero fact checking for a "learning channel"
I love clacton on sea ❤❤❤❤❤❤
If you want a decent builder if you decide to move down this dump.SMY Builder Avoid Avoid .
Yes excellent job advertising the area there my friend stick to the building though might be better for you
Old fashioned is all uk beaches sorry to say
You're are quiting from 15 years ago, you're video is so so misconstrued, there is houses selling for over 1 million pounds, loads of investment in the town, it is a very damaging and misleading video
Zero to your video
Clown
This video was made by an immigrant
Man of the people Farage would saw off his right leg before living in this Brexit voting miserable dump.
Unhealthy moaning Brexiteers banging on about the good old days.
Blame the council, it had deliberately turned it into a CESSPIT
exactly
