Jaywick Essex Walkabout one of the UK`s most deprived areas

- Jaywick was originally a holiday resort for Londoners but fell into decline when foreign travel took off from the 60`s onwards. The UK has always has a chronic housing shortage so many of the holiday chalets were let out to people on low incomes. Many of the chalets do not meet modern housing standards and when this occurs Social Issues arise. Government money to the area is slow in coming and poor quality standards are also blamed on chalet landlords who simply have no interest in the upkeep of their properties.
Brooklands was run down for years but it was clean and tidy. It's become like this because of the people that live there.
Unfortunately so but surely the Government and council could do more?
I don’t think it’s solely ‘the peoples fault for being poor’ as you state.
Have you asked the council to ever tidy something up before?
They’ve been neglected LIKE THE REST OF THIS not Great Britain.
I live in a seaside town with a mayor that’s not native?!
Plenty of immigration claims being pushed through no doubt,property deals that favour ‘her friends’ are all obviously being done. A new mosque is in the pipeline aswell. Cant have the illegal immigrants not being able to pray right? Better not offend them you know.
ID BE HAPPY TO HEAR THAT PUTINS DONE WHAT HE SAID HED DO TO THIS CRAPPY LITTLE ISRAELI SUBSIDIARY THAT IS BRITAIN.
SET OFF ONE UNDER WATER BOMB AND SEND A TIDAL WAVE OVER US.
START AGAIN.
I HATE THIS COUNTRY
And the people coming from outide jaywick dumping their rubbish
@@WorldlyInAction Talk to some residents about cleaning things up and if enough people volunteer, ask the council for permission/information about getting authorised to clean this stuff yourselves. If no-one volunteers, then you know the people there are a lost cause. If people do volunteer, you can be the start of a positive cycle of improvement.
100% gypsies there? Gotta be
This is very strange. Back in 1966 when I was 12, we lived in Clacton and I seem to remember Jaywick was a slightly up-market Clacton. How places change!!!!!
Such a shame how Britains seaside towns have ended up. I used to go to Jaywick many years ago when I was a child and it was lovely. I guess foreign holidays killed the income of these places and lack of money and investment has had a major effect.
Thankyou for the comment. I still feel this place has a future as an artists colony or something it`s just about knocking peoples heads together and getting the UK government to care
@@WorldlyInAction you won't ever get any government to care, but the idea that a kind of bohemian art community or just plain ordinary people coming together in a collective could have some legs. My only doubt would be long time survival against rising sea levels
@@WorldlyInAction who owns the land? the commercial buildings?
@@markdonovan1540 I don’t disagree. If you wait for governments to do something sensible, you will die of old age. Seaside resorts were an invention of the last 2 hundred years; from fishing town to large infrastructures which are no longer required by the population. No community has a divine right to be survive - think of everything from Cornish tin mine communities to rural villages to coal towns to naval dockyards towns. They have to be relevant to the current time. I’ve been going to Deal in Kent for 60 years and remember when it was bustling with Marines and colliery workers. Both of these “industries” went and the town is a shadow of what it was. I really hope it survives but so much has closed down. It’s evolution; nobody said it had to suit everyone.
@@theofarmmanager267 you make a good point. We'll just have to wait and see. I'll be long gone by then anyway...
It was once a very respectable holiday retreat. Back in the 1920's you could buy a plot of land for about £25 and build a little chalet. Close to the sea with lovely sandy beaches...beautiful.
I was going to buy a little house in Jaywick for 40k backin 2019 and do it up.
Glad I didn't now it looks a scary place to live. sadly
Interesting. Thankyou for your comment
@@ltj18taylor73 It's only scary when filmmakers show parts owned by the council due for demolition..NEVER show the better parts.. I retired here on a cold damp January in 2004 after selling my family home we owned for 25 years previous, purchased 2 1/2 plots, extended my once small bungalow, and have both a front door road entrance and a gated entrance to my rear yard and landrover sized carport.. Would I move back to the madness of what is now East London? you got to be joking I`m here till I die, loved being retired here, lots of space, good neighbours, mostly retirees, am 75 now, listen to the waves on our fantastic beaches and go - AHHH..
@@ltj18taylor73 well done not to move there
@@ianburit3705 you are right about the cherry picking for shock value. I see the same shocking photos of derelict, condemned buildings in American cities that no one even goes near being photoshopped and used by media types to decry the perils of capitalism. Well said.
That beach area and houses on the front could be so so nice. Its crazy how we've let an area go to rack and ruin like that.
It’s such a shame because if this place was cleaned up I would happily rent one of those chalets to live in and make it really nice. Always wanted to live by the sea.
I was thinking the same thing x
Agree it would be lovely
Yeah at some point some gov will have to invest in it. Must be nice though to live in a quiet area. Def no issues of over tourism I suppose!!
Had great holidays there back in the 70s
Went there on holiday back in the 1970s and it was a nice place back then and it's so sad too see how much its declined.
Yep I bet must be really sad
Essex is where my ancestors come from. l live in Australia 4th generation. Over here the prospective councils would go around the streets and pick up junk a couple of times a year with trucks and men. The residents would heap up their unwanted items in piles on the nature strips and that was taken to the local tip. l am not sure if they still do it, but that way people got to live in clean tidy areas.The service was free. lt seems to me that the local councils and greedy government departments don't care about the well being of their people and probably are just waiting for the quaint little homes to fall down so they can make a massive land grab for the developers. These little old shacks are peoples homes, some probably have lived in all their lives, there's a real history about them.The greedy don't see poor people as having feelings or roots to an area, they just count everything in dollars now. lf something doesn't change and we don't consider our people and give them decent treatment the world will further go to hell, God Help Us.
Great comment
There's a book written by Jacob Rees Moggs father in the 1990's "The Sovereign Individual" and in the book it clearly lays out a plan for the Conservatives... Basically avoid paying tax at all costs, get yourself rich enough to be able to buy your way out of any situation, because paying no taxes will result in the total break down of society, but do we care... No, because everyone has the opportunity to become a multi-millionaire and a sovereign individual - if you don't that's your problem. They live by this set of values and that have no interest in the lives of the likes of normal people, they despise normal people. You only have to read the book 'Britannia Unchained' by Liz Truss, Kwarzi Karteng, Pritt Paten and Dominic Raab to see what they think of us and yet so many of us either don't vote or like the people that voted for Brexit and the 'Red Wall' voters - they vote for the Tories.
When I first went there on holiday in the 80s, it was a great place to be on a warm sunny summers day.
It always amazes me how quickly any residential area can go downhill.Sometimes all it takes is one boarded up house or a bad family to move to the street and that sets up a chain of events
It still is 😊 the summers are a bustle full of locals and happy holiday makers.
I'm on the part of the video where someone comes out and talks to him. I'd be telling you to get lost to be honest!!! Lol
In the 50's my great uncle had a small chalet here. No mains water just a stand pipe you had to carry water back from, and only a chemical toilet. My family lived in London so to travel to it, it was a motorbike, a hire car or public transport. The roads and paths look to be refurbished and in very good condition to be fair, the roads are named after old car brands.
Thanks for your comment .Yes and Brooklands after the race track
I would rather live in Jaywick than a high rise council flat in London. If you started filming on a south london estate your camera would disappear in minutes
Yes there are more dangerous areas for sure
Kip
Really
Not everywhere, some parts are being gentrified. Wouldn't want to love here.
Martin ryder London is a beautiful city yes there's parts. Violence is everywhere evern in these small town drugs gang bring violence. But when it comes to London there's no place l love to live.
DR Johnson said if any man is tired of London he tired of life. My reply is l never get tired of London and I never get tired of life Tony marlowe.
The potential for redevelopment here is so overlooked. Theres no room in London with lack of housing or space for new homes, so why not redevelop here. Madness... I had my holidays in Jaywalk when I was a kid. it was never this bad then
Tendring is poor, has high unemployment, few facilities & an old population. It's too far from London for commuters. Few young people would want to move there.
I agree and think eventually the whole area will be redeveloped. Realistically it will be decades away barring major government initiatives.
Problem is that then people won’t be able to afford to move here because new builds will be very expensive as always
I also think the sea being fairly level with the place doesn't appeal. Many of those run down properties are on a raised pad for exactly that reason - sea water flooding in.
Jaywick Essex Walkabout one of the UK`s most deprived areas 1301pm 17.12.22 a cafe and a few ice cream parlours of a summer. and hey o!! yer right - the beach looks pretty cool and very come hither. p.s for the american lady i think you would pronounce this jaywick. as opposed to keswick which you'd pronounce kezik.
I see a lot of hidden beauty there ! Thankyou for the walkabout 👍🏻💙
Welcome
Seems to be the way most British seaside towns have gone. Sometimes they look nice on the outside, but beneath the surface, there's poverty, drugs and social issues in general. Apparently Scarborough is one of them. You'd have no idea from a tourist's point of view though. I only found out through something a resident posted on Craptowns years ago. Then you have seaside towns like Blackpool where you can tell they're not doing too good as soon as you drive into them.
Yep they lost their reason to be when car ownership took off together with foreign holidays
I was on a break in Cornwall last year and visited one of the popular harbour towns (can't remember name). Bobbing boats, quaint little cottages, souvenir shops, nice bars, fish and chips and packed with tourists. I decided to go walkabout and walked inland about a mile or so. And the contrast was incredible. Streets of prefab houses in terrible state, old cars that will never drive again parked in front gardens, but it was the rubbish, it was everywhere. Really really bad and the locals that i saw looked so dejected. It was quite a sight.
This is not a true representation of Jaywick and Clacton. This video he has gone to the worst run down road or 2. So much regeneration has happened around here recently. It's getting better everyday.
I'm in Australia suburb called Davoren Park south Australia...one of Australia's lowest social economic areas...and I'd say wow to jaywick. It's a roof over your head with million dollar views 👍
I live in Australia in Melbourne in a suburb called Armadale will think myself lucky!
What`s it like there?
@@WorldlyInAction Davoren Park has a bad reputation...I wouldn't live anywhere else 😄
I remember seaside holidays in Jaywick in chalets when I was a child .England is being ruined with migration which is changing the demographics of the English way of life. I live in South Australia by the sea ,a beautiful place .
@@patking754 Maybe in Southern England but the North and Scotland has always had poverty and violence. Nothing to do with immigration.
My sister lives in Jaywick and loves it.
I was in Jaywick today, 28/12/22. They are building a big community area as you first drive in, but people are still living in the rundown shacks in poverty. I know it's a start, but peoples housing conditions should be a first prority before this community area.
That`s the thing I don`t get
I’ve lived here for over 30 years , lovely place , nice people, wouldn’t want to live anywhere else, fed up with negative comments, no worse than any other parts of the country 🤬🤬
I didn`t dislike it at all. I think I could get used to living there tbh
@@WorldlyInAction sorry I wasn’t pointing the finger at you by any means. But people comment negative remarks. Just because they can.
Lots of beautiful bungalows down the flowers roads, and Broadway, and the whole Jaywick village, Crossways is very nice too. Brooklands people fall on harder times, and that's ok. This wonderful community of Jaywick and Clacton has a beating heart and wonderful people within it. The coast is beautiful. I loved growing up in the surrounding villages and coming to Clacton at the weekends. Hanging at the beach, pier nights. I love Clactons history too. The pier and arcades have had alot of investment in recent years and it looks glorious. Constantly bringing spotlight on a few bad roads, where the properties are owned by mostly cheap landlords who don't live here and rent to desperate people doing no repairs - isn't helping the people that live here really. Alot of the owned are taken care off.
I grew up around here, and I've travelled around the world and europe, lived abroad. And let me say there is good and bad everywhere, what matters is the heart of a community and Jaywick and Clacton have heart.
Lovely comment thankyou
Very kind. I always say that Essex people have a deserved sense of paranoia. It seems they are unfairly hated.
I walked past Jaywick a few years ago and did not feel safe. It is an absolute disgrace that this level of poverty is allowed to exist in the UK in 2022.
Maybe the people should stop voting conservatives then
It was a mistake to allow people to live long-term in holiday shacks.
@@yootaobe5536 It was the same through Labour governments.
It is a disgrace .It really doesn`t have to be this way
Its not poverty everyone is on the sick. My aunt nan and uncle live in jaywick and you NEVER see the nicer parts on the net x
my friend used to come on her holidays to Jay wick many years ago, she loved it x
Pleased to hear that must have been nice
When I was kid, I had an auntie who lived in one of a number of terraced houses in an old area of Norwich city. I think it was around 1959 when all the residents were relocated to a new council estate and the old places demolished. Our family visited and stayed at the old place on several occasions, and I can say they were far better than what I'm looking at here. Too much focus on foreign immigrants and almost none on the traditional residents it would seem.
Thankyou for that comment. Interesting
Just leave immigrants alone, please! They havent done anything and just want a better life!
@@anthonyfoulkes1868 You can't be serious! Have you seen what's coming across the channel to set up house near you. You'll notice they're nearly all young men of military service age. The absence of women, children and elderly suggest they're not fleeing from persecution otherwise they would have stopped at any one of many European countries.
They pay thousands of pounds to come across in dinghies at some risk as opposed to a cheap air fare and claiming asylum in a legitimate manner for reasons one can only suspect are for nefarious purposes.
@@anthonyfoulkes1868 So do the indigenous people
@@anthonyfoulkes1868 so do I...prick.
Back in the 60's and early 70's we had many a happy holiday in Jaywick, clean, safe and beautiful beaches
Such a shame, the council needs to invest
Thanks so much for the tour mate, real eye opener that
Glad you liked thanks
In the 50's my mum took us for a holiday to jaywick.the beds in the bungalow were crawling with red mites I think I was villas usual with to solitude and I was sat in a deckchaire covered cover in a blanket with a umbrella and sunglasse.
In the Summer you can take a walk down Jaywick and everyone is pleasent, the wall at which you started off at is a lovely spot.
It looks miserable because of the time of year and with investment Jaywick will become better but the sea is a worry down there so investors tend to worry about what may happen due to floods.
My Nan and Grandad had a bungalow down Humber Avenue in the 50’s I spent happy times there as a child.
So pleased to hear your story
Funny, our grandparents at Jaywick were called Nanny & Grandad.
Thankyou for showing us around Essex seaside place
Most welcome
Where I live SE London they build all the time which has now made it very over crowded. And still continue to build. Despite the fact our GP surgery has over 10k of patients so cant get an appointment. Trains tubes are so squashed in morning you cant get on them. Over crowdrd London. Yet places like this could be built up and look so nice. If even to take the pressure from over crowded city of London. I am sure people would like to live there if more homes were built there. And on top of the sea too.
Shame..if only the council put money into the place..
The place also needs outside investors, otherwise the Council will just be patching this place up, until it eventually become a ghost town.
I remember Jaywick market, very busy then!
Very interesting, reminds me a little of my hometown Sheerness in Kent. Maybe a little less rubbish strewn about the place. And less chalets. Thanks for the tour
Welcome thankyou for the comment
Looks like every gypsi-town in serbia and bulgaria, just cleaner.
I live near jaywick in clacton and what your showing me honeslty feels like I’m watching a zombie apocalypse vlog after several years of the outbreak happening, I even used to live in jaywick about 10 years ago and I’ve never seen it like this
It's just like Canvey Island, without the Dip 😁
As the old saying goes: It's the Pig Which Makes the Sty...
Much of the cleaning up would cost nothing but time.
That`s what I don`t get the budget to do so small for the gain
I just subscribed, interesting channel will watch these videos during the week
Thankyou. I am trying to work out what to do with this channel . I am into travel alot and human interest stories.
Wherever you go in the world you find parts of the area run down. He is just focusing on the negative parts.
Jaywick has some lovely parts as well.
Especially in the summer.
The sea front is nice, my mum moved to Clacton on sea year's ago, me and my kids visited a lot when they were a lot younger.
Try living in London!
You will see how quick you would be running back to Jaywick! 🤭
I intend to do another video looking at the good parts. Its a fair comment though that the bad parts shouldn`t be this way in 21st Britain so it is correct to highlight them
@@WorldlyInAction That is good ☺️, looking forward to watching it!
What a squalid state of affairs ! The council needs their butts kicked into high gear and government funds are urgently needed to correct this . The landlords who are letting these properties to tennants should also be forced to do a minimum amount of maintainance on these properties or forfeit them to the council .
We have to remember that the state of these areas does not just happen. People make a mess, whether it is council owned or private. We cannot blame the council or government for the mess. It does need clearing but again it costs and who will pay the Bill. Not the people who make the mess. It's a shame as I used to enjoy a little holiday in Jaywick, many many years ago.
I agree it costs but but main point is compared to the bigger picture of a council budget surely the cost of clear up is a very small percentage for such a large environmental gain?
Most of Jaywick is owned by private landlords
Great video squire, Excellent commentary. New sub here.
Thankyou very much .Will be doing more for sure.
I wish I could do something for them but not rich enough to make jaywick years ago when I was on holiday there 😢Ps Thanks for letting me be at Jaywick whilst being at home 1👍I love the chalets they have oddly worldly character.
Welcome glad you enjoyed the video
I wouldn’t mind living in a bungalow there near the sea .
The beach is wonderful
You really wouldn’t. It’s worse than Southend where I live and that’s grim
My Nan and Grandad lived on Coppins Road in Clacton from the 30's to the early 80's. Grandad was a sign-writer. He worked on the busses and the pier. We visited a couple of times a year. I have fond memories of Jaywick. I imagined that that was where the elves (that worked at Butlin's) lived. It turns out that Butlin's never hired elves. Such is the imagination of a ten year old.
That`s a great story thankyou.
My great uncle lived in Clacton. Fond memories.
It was nice ONCE just like the rest of Great Britain was
It must have been lovely there in the Days
These were all holiday chalets back in the day, then people started to live in them permanently. The council are to blame really because they should of banned living in them and only allowed holidays which they were designed for. Butlins going really killed the local economy and it’s never been the same ever since. Investing in a location in Clacton or around Jaywick for artists would definitely be the way forward for sure. Maybe in the future as temperatures are now rising people will look to stay for holidays at home and this will help rejuvenate the old seaside towns. I used to go Walton on the naze as a kid and then memories I cherish as such happier times.
Council and Goverment . Government fund councils alot.
Artists yes. Piss artists, no
@@version736ha2 😂😂😂quality comment. Pmsl
@@TONE11111 hooray
Temperatures are now rising.! FFS stop believing all that shit that's pumped out of that TV.its a scam,wake up!
The town had plenty of potential. Beautiful waterside
Definitely
Potential was the first thing that popped in my head too
Looks a great place tol live - appeals more to those beings who have seen the world! Life is what you make it.....prefer it more than Nassua , Bali or Briguton! Just needs elbow greae, work and restoration and the right people will comme back!
Main issue here is housing not up to modern standards. If every chalet was rebuilt in an energy efficient way like for like this could become a desirable retirement community for sure
I agree, it does look like a potentially great place to live. And right next to the sea!
Really really happy i moved to New Zealand, gorgous clean place,
Yes I have been to New Zealand I like it there
We moved from Clacton (down the road from Jaywick) to New Zealand, Takapuna. Unfortunately we bloody well came back again :( :( :(
There are also nice parts of Jaywick too. Any where you go there will always be somewhere thats run down.
Yep there are agree
i really struggle how local councils and the government can let areas end up this way ,there local council seemed to have gave up and thats wrong ,we all have a right to live in houses that are up to a certain standard and these houses are not and why are the council letting private landlord abuse there tenants providing sub standard housing ,its a crime and a disgrace .
I struggle too since the actual expenditure here of keeping litter and clearing up flytipping here is surely not that much compared with say building a new road for example
What more could someone want for a lovely beach apartment not far from London,🥴 in general the east side of England is very depressing.
It`s near in distance but the travel time on decrepit infrastructure is awful imao
Tragic what it's turned into. I had some great holidays there as a kid.
It could easily be like Dungeness is now quirky place where people want to live. Right now it's almost a dumping ground to keep "unwanted" people out of sight.
Thanks for sharing this part of the English seaside area. I just wonder what the local council spends the resident's tax payers money on, judging from everything unattended to.
Good question!
Why do the residents bother to pay full council tax .
What a lovely place put the migrants here 😂
This could be a lovely place it's been abandoned by authority and people left to live in these conditions sad
I too spent great family holidays at Jaywick Sands in the 1950s. Lovely little chalets. Free roaming kids mixing. Such a shame. What happened?
Foreign holidays diverted funds from the area is one thing
no industry, no jobs, everything imported from china
Not too bad? The beach at Jaywick is amazing! :)
Definitely could get used to living next to it
My nan had a caravan in Seawick and me and my friends when we stayed there used to walk to clacton for the day along the seawall and pass through here. It was nothing like this - odd plot would need a bit of work but it had a holiday feel to it. Such a shame to see it like this.
It has such potential to be a good place again
I didn't think it be like that in your country the house need fixing up bad ..in my country it bad but not as bad as there ...I thought the house be nice and clean live near the beaches there ..thank you for sharing have a great day..
I think the residents have got dishearted and lost their self respect. The council have an obligation to clear fly tips and collect unwanted goods if its Co ordinated. Somethings not right, is it a no go area?
The area of dereliction is quite small and concentrated. I felt safe at all times but must admit am 6 ft 4 tall and quite intimidating to some people lol
Size don't mean shit lol
Was a nice place many years ago
Nice video ....Keep up the good work
Thankyou definitely want to do more
Thats million dollar property right there, needs investment, lots of potential....
Definitely potential. Many ideas spring to mind, an artists colony just one of them
@@WorldlyInActionleper colony

You need to visit TOXTETH, if you want to see deprived , ......do not wear expensive watches, and make sure you protection is up to it
Thankyou. I have been there before but not to do a video. Are there are particular streets to focus on there?
This is Canada as well so sad that this is happening all over the world
not everywhere believe me come to more civilized countries like Poland, people live in real houses clean streets .
@@rafar4653 hahahaha 🤣
The council are accountable, how can they let it get to that level.
what do you expect from the tories
Our childhood with our parents went to jaywick for a week holidays every year in 1960until 1968 and the place was forced closed down!!!! Very sad !
It must have been so different then?
I’m thankful we still have natural beauties like Devon,Cornwall,Lake District and the highlands etc
There are so many fantastic places in the UK
Very good walk around video. It's interesting how this place came to be like this, but as bad as things are, it does have a certain charm about it. I'd also much prefer to live here than in one of those nightmare American hellhole cities.
Thankyou so much for the comment I follow your videos with interest too
People are always quick to be horrible and negative but at the end of the day some people have to take what they can get / afford. As long as there is a roof over their heads in winter ect and out of the elements as well as possible I'd imagine they take it over homelessness.
Thanks for the comment
So sad, we used to stay in jaywick when I was a kid. Can still feel the wooden boards under my feet if I close my eyes. Lovely place in the late 60s early 70s...
Thankyou for sharing this
so was Eng
Great video mate, might be a good idea to come back in the summer n record another video of the beach 👍
That's the plan!
Fascinating place. Its like a down market version of Fairbourne, Gwynedd, also by the sea with issues of flooding.
Thanks for the comment
It is so hard to see how places that should be booming for residences on the coast can be run down.
Governments no longer care as long as their gain from politics makes them rich.
If this keeps up we will see riots I fear.
Saying that can't the council atleast make the empty properties safe?
Lovely to cycle all the way from School street in Jaywick to Frinton.
I'd rather live there than in a city high rise.
Yep unless the high rise has got an exceptional view maybe? Eg the London Skyline.
Ive got an idea. Rehouse the good people of Jaywick in nice hotels and put the pampered "no-one can touch us" ILLEGAL immigrants in these Jaywick homes. Seems fair to me
Jaywick is a poor area but it’s not rough as some people think. There’s not much violent crime there. It’s a nice place. I can see it from my upstairs window
I didn`t find it that rough just neglected tbh
JAYWICK has one of the closest communities..... there are major plans afoot to re develope jaywick.........so please don't run it down.....
Yes there is alot of potential for the place. I do show some of the redevelopment in the video
Gentrification hasn't taken over all of the south-eastern UK! In a strange way, that's quite comforting.
Of course. If it had where would all the minimum wage or near minimum wage workers live?
Think that was seasick at the start. It's beautiful in the summer..the building you was in was a nice cafe...I used work on Tower holiday park in the late 90s witch again is lovely in the summer.. people do tend to invest there for the future .... but just leave the land alone until the area gets better 1 day this will be a lovely town...
Let`s hope so
The jewel in the crown of the county of Essex
Bet the landlords would be _interested_ if the tenants stopped paying their rent 🤣
Most definitely
I go there every year for my 2 week holiday.
Makes you wonder if some of these areas deliberately left to rot…this would justify just bulldozing the whole lot for redevelopment. Unfortunately the redevelopment would be housing that would be out of the price range of many of these residents. Councils and landowners are money incentivised…
I think you make a fair point.
Hopefully this gives you a thought and brings you together! It could be nice there again and bring in visitors and people to spend money
Jaywick has really lovely soft sand beaches
Can`t fault the beach at all was lovely
I hope they're not paying council tax for that mess! Good grief 😮
They will be and over a Thousand a year
At least it is not overrun with economic migrants.
I nearly moved there back in 2010; - was having video conferences with a geyza called STEVE YATES ...reckoned he owned half of Jaywick and had a spare house for me ...tried the 'change of plan' bit at the last minute... - wanted me to share a place with his younger brother... I went to UNI instead.....
I hear your comments regarding the proliferation of fly tipping on the properties you filmed. You should know that there is no statutory requirement for the local council to clear up such mess. It always remains the responsibility of the property owner to clear up the mess not the public purse.
Is that good enough? Surely things can be done better?
i,d just pile everything up that will burn & set fire to it. its the easyest & best way to get rid of rubbish
Obviously most of the roads were named after old car brands, Humber, Riley, etc.
Yes thanks for that. Should have mentioned that on the video plus that bit of Jaywick called Brooklands
@@WorldlyInAction Thanks Mark, nice vid there, have a nice Xmas and take care Mark!
Should of done a bit of research before opening your mouth on blog first
Interestingly, there are some really nice properties in your footage but equally some rough looking ones too.
Question: why is there so much rubbish dumped? Is there not a local disposal site?
Location looks lovely; Right by the coast and flat.
You have to have a car to take stuff up a local disposal site. Many people on Government benefits simply don`t have the money to own one so fly tip
it looks like the council have some interest in jaywick every property has a bin and recycling bin outside of it looks like a private estate
Yeah some especially when collecting council tax
@@WorldlyInAction same as every councul
I think the location is terrific. The weather is wild and harsh on the buildings though.
Location fine, lovely beach
It’s very windy in the winter but the fact it’s looked down on so much at least means it’s never too busy!
The only people to blame about jaywick is the local council. Shame on them. This is a good example of the council misappropriating the funds elsewhere for their own greed.
All of the council should be sacked and replaced.
Very frustating. Clearing all the rubbish and flytipping surely a very small percentage of a multimillion pound council budget
People themselves should take a bit of responsibility as well. So many waiting for the council or the state to look after them and their areas
Having worked there under gov improvement housing schemes what I find totally amazing....and this is because im a northerner, the price of those chalets , some going for over £100, 000 and rent of up to £700 a month, baffles me how most people survive in the south.
It's all to do with the return on investment I suppose .The lha housing benefit rate will be alot more than some northern areas so 700 is affordable even on universal credit.The landlord looks at the yield 8.5 per cent and knows occupation will be easy so the price of 100k is ok to him
I can't believe he showed my old place lol I cud never live there again
Thanks for the comment hope the memories weren`t too bad there
