They tried to knock it down 18ish years ago. I saw the "masterplan" in the council offices with the head of the council in a private meeting. When it went public everyone lost their minds in jaywick. They tried to use flood risk as their access point but it turned out to be untrue and jaywick village has more danger than Brooklands. They spent 10M on the roads and gave everyone new windows doors new ground source state of the art heating systems, new insulation and peppledashed everyones homes. I don't think they're planning to gentrify jaywick anytime soon.
Some parts look less derelict than they were on previous videos of the area. Part of the problem is that many of the houses were built as holiday homes for Londoners many years ago and, as a result, were not designed to have a long life and permanent occupancy. When the cheaply built homes started to get run down, neighbours obviously gave up trying to make their own homes presentable as they would have felt they are wasting their time and money. Given investment and some more facilities like improvements to the shops, the area could have a brighter future. A lot depends on the council having a positive attitude to the area (obviously there is no money for that these days); that would encourage people with more money to move in. The setting by the sea in itself is attractive.
Hi Martin, you do realise the original brooklands bungalows made from Canadian tar Pine are still solid, still standing, none were affected during the 1953 floods unlike the back of Brooklands and villages areas, but, these wooden built homes will be 100 years old before not too long. Most were retro fitted with 8 inches of exterior Insulation, old electric storage heaters ripped out and all the heating and hot water systems replaced by HI TECH "Air source" heating units that look like AirCon units costing a fraction to run. I retired into a very "disturbed" Jaywick one cold wet January morning in 2004, helped out a lot in my community, managed to get the roads upgraded with the help of others into the Best Roads In Tendring District, yet local papers and media fail to show this still. Am I happy here ? well my old home town of Romford for 40 years has become full of thieving east Europeans and NON whites sadly, so YES I love it In jaywick, a place where neighbours pull together, I was lucky in buying my place with planning permission plus an extra plot so I have my front door in one road and my rear yard and huge car port in the next road owning all through from one road to the next.. Its mine, paid cash for it, best investment i ever made when you factor in all the free grant work undertaken over the years..Oh, those who wish it bulldozed, well, in 2006 that idea was tried, local council failed, as its costings was £75 MILLION then, plus a new village needed building elsewhere to home those IF displaced..

How many so called new homes have modern Air source heat pump heating fitted ? I also got not only very deep roof Insulation but UNDERFLOOR insulation.. So, now tell me money dont get spent, but you also know the grant funded 2 year scheme to give us HGV proof modern road drainage and deep enough to give problem free roads now ..The best In Clacton if not Tendring.. Compare that to other private non adopted roads In Frinton for starters.. I Own nearly 3 plots, I have my front door in one road with off road parking IF needed, own right through to the next road where i have big gated access for a further 2 cars off road under my 26 feet long landrover sized car port..PLUS a fenced of garden for my grand kids and GREAT grand child.

listen good people..please please look after your great jaywick..because as iv always said its not the place its the people in it..stand firm its a beautiful place and all you lovely people seem really friendly and that counts for a lot today great video thank you..
I came here via the latest 'I live here" survey for 2021, which has just been published. I am quite impressed. You obviously had sound on because I could hear wind noise and birds singing, yet of the few people out in their gardens I didn't hear them shouting or making a nuisance of themselves - not even a radio. Infact no loud music/fighting/shouting from anywhere en route. The fabric/structure of the houses may not be the best, but people seem to care for them and they looked nice and homely. Even only one of the dogs had a bark at you. The other just sat and watched from his little perch, bless him. That kid in the trolley was just playing, not ASBOing about and even the three teens were just walking and minding their own business. Nice American classic car there...maybe that might be a bit noisy if someone is constantly tinkering away at it, but that's picking holes. Blimey. I live in a large semi in a 'desirable location' where the town/village centre has trendy bars, an artisnal gin producer and a posh cheese/deli shop cum restaurant and I have to put up with a neanderthal blasting terrible Euro-pop-dance from his enormous man cave while he luxuriates in the hot tub he has rammed up against the fence. I don't know what he's doing in there, but the noises that come out of it are...erm...👀😐. That's when he's not 'playing' with the kid and making it howl or doing his weights on the contraption he's rigged up in the garden specifically for that purpose. Think I'll go and have a look at Jaywick on Rightmove.
RDubya:My home was by the ocean.Sadly,due to a stupid mistake which I regret every day of my life,I ended up in a grotty city for a while Escaped to a more rural area but unfortunately it has a yob pod who sit outside every summer evening playing loud 'music',yelling & screaming,drinking & smoking weed.The guy next door broke down the gate to what was our quiet back lane looking into the garth.The powers that b have left it there for over a year.Prob because they think it'll happen again.So now we have idiots coming down there to smoke,drink & litter.Apart from those four or five families our little close could be great.However,because one gate of the 3 has to be kept open for H & S reasons,it let's in the TT's.A real shame.
@@susanmccormick6022 The house I lived in from 0-7 was compulsory purchased by the Council for slum clearance. The next house from 7-19 was a terrace on a main road in a so-called bad area. I'd go back to either at the drop of a hat. Neighbours and community are the difference between your home being a haven or a living hell. Luckily this idiot next to us is just a d1ck and annoying more than anything else. He still has mummy around all the time, pandering to his every whim, and his wife is just as daft for going out to work every day on the pretext that he is home watching the kid (which he takes to his mum's. The only reason I know this is because the parcel delivery driver told me one day when he was especially p***ed off by him - apparently he hates him too. Lol). It's just not nice not being able to enjoy your garden or home because of other selfish people is it? Whether it be playing loud music or shouting so loud that sitting in the garden chatting to friends means you have to keep asking them to repeat themselves or shout as well because he drowns them out. He plays with the kid and there's lots of screeching at the top of his voice from him - the kid attempts to follow suit but is only a toddler, so isn't as invasive. Of course because he's a complete numbnut he plays too rough and the kid ends up howling that awful plaintiff screeching crying that tugs at your heart. He's not deliberately cruel - I know because I can hear literally every word and movement from the other side of the garden where I now sit to put as much distance between us as possible. He's just a narcissistic idiot who is overindulged by the people in his life. A giant, spoilt brat of a manchild. The only creepy thing is that he makes sure everything he does is right next to the adjoining fence despite having a massive garden, but that's probably to annoy us. He also peers over the fence when he thinks I/we can't see him and positions himself doing 'something' right opposite our back door and peers in the kitchen. Again, it's probably just a combination of being nosy and and attempt to annoy us. Your situation sounds awful though and such a shame. I hope you have a bit of luck soon and something gets sorted for you. I feel bad about my initial post now - I know a lot of people have a lot worse with real anti-social behaviour and feeling threatened in their own home. I hope I've cleared things up in my reply. Stay safe. 👍
First went there in 1969 I think on a family holiday - mum,dad,me and brother and sister.My dad did't drive then so a mate of his from work agreed to drive us down there from West London.My mum had fun with 2 of 3 kids being travel sick most of the way on what was then a long journey.My dad had booked a chalet on the Brooklands estate (Alvis Avenue I think) for two weeks.He didn't realise at the time that a lot of the chalets had outside toilets and also no plumbing in them !...there was the large 3 wheeled tanker vehicle that came round every few days to empty the toilets,which my dad christened "The Honey Wagon" We returned the next 5 years running although had learnt from the first experience and stayed in bungalows on Meadow Way and Willow Way.
You walked through the streets without getting mugged. Already a step up from Croydon. This may say more about some of the places I have lived and/or worked but looks ok to me.
I sold up and retired into Brooklands as a 55 year old, like my late wife we was working ourselves to death but earned very well, insolvency after 40 years in one company or in its group let me see I never needed to die before 65 years of age.. Im now 74 and buying into 3 plots in the far end of Brooklands save my life and sanity/ Best thing i ever done was move from a better part of North Romford after 25 years, no traffic NO WORK no noise, no worries.. live 30 metres from great beaches, no option is a better choice than retire at 55 and own it all outright/ cheap to live, no noise, love it here.Most of the knockers have never visited but with the IGNORANCE SHOWN BY MANY we would not want you visiting STAY AWAY in your own insecure lives..
Jaywick, twinned with Beruit until recently, when the mayor of Beruit complained that it made his townspeople embarrassed to be associated with such a shithole that they started a 'gofundme' drive to raise help for the Jaywick residents! So far they've raised twenty gallons of petrol and fourteen sticks of dynamite!
This place looks relatively clean compared to some of places up here in the North East, for example Horden near Peterlee, a village where whole streets have boarded up housing and a relatively high crime rate.
The MP of Clacton a few years back (I believe it was Douglas Carswel of UKIP) stepped in and built new apartments and has been trying to improve the area for the residents. Done a good job with what he was given
me and my late wife retired here as 55 year olds selling up a big 3 bed semi in a nice area.. Working like loonies earning lots of money WOULD have killed me at least, but buying the near 3 plots extending the bungalow, having a huge rear garden thats now access in the next road does for me.. Lived happily here 18 years now.. STILL ALIVE AT 74 years of age..
people have potential places only reflect that potential. These people have little potential hence they can't maintain a civilised area. for the town to improve a different population would have to reside there.
Some parts of Jaywick are well ok.... This is filmed in Brooklands area but if you go into the village beyond the Sheldrake pub it is actually very nice, go even further onto the Tudor Estate it's a different world & some parts even feel posh. I know it inside out was brought up there as a kid.
@@jordanpilcher5528 They've already got an art gallery - as soon as it's on the 'coolness map of the UK' - you'll get vegan eateries and crystal magic shops everywhere. Only a matter of time.
you have no idea the trap you fell for.. trash tv and news media cherry pick trash to bolster there drab stories/ its like a magnet for trash film makers but non film the majority of it being much better
It's OK, only let down by the design and lack of redevelopment. Looks quiet and peaceful, compared to living near main roads. Only £12,000 for a burned roof property on rightmove and £70,000 for a live-able 'house'.
A diamond in the rough, it needs investment, a demolition company, the council to do their job with infrastructure and cleaning the place up, and the people then might take pride in the place and do their part.
You dont understand Steven, we currently have a modernistic movement currently within our community, developing and painting the places they OWN.. Ok history time - In the 1970s the then urban district council wanted to bulldoze it all, the governing body the JSFA (jaywick sands freeholders association) took the council to the High Court of London, Council LOST, was forced to supply sewerage, drinking water and electric light, Clacton refused to supply the light so neighbouring St.Osyth supplied it.. The local council HATED the place ever since.. I bought my property in 2004 along with extra plots for cash. In 2006 the local council brought in an outside london company to tell us villagers what we want / bulldoze half or bulldoze all (including the many that own).. OUTRAGED residents met in the community centre when the so called outside company wanted to give us there ideas, the MD supposed to give us details but was told GO BACK TO LONDON NOW - Echos of "Run Forest run" - LOL since then Local council has granted £millions spent on a 2 year project to give our private roads the very best modern road drainage, pavements, and billiard flat roads, then many more £millions on home upgrades, to everyone who wanted it, mine was the very first one undertaken, 8inches of layered exterior insulation with white stone chip finish, old style electric heating ripped out and high tech "AirSource" units put in place, every room has slim line radiators, new hotwater tanks and plumbing.. (the units look like big aircon units) plus new double glazed windows although mine were only 6 years old after a total upgrade I had done then.. The council put forwards a plan to slowly buy up empty plots, derelict properties and those wishing to sell quickly and cheaply to them using the Land banking Idea.. It Is there aim to one day develop the village, but In 2006 was costed then at £75 MILLION IF everyone sold, I refused, but priced my plots plus property at £1 million take it or leave it, as, there IS NO LEGAL ARGUMENT for me to sell to the council... Using legal argument I proved we would not flood, but the council in conjunction with local builders have had built 2 blocks of new modern flood proofed housing of 3 stories high, half for private sale half for council housing stock allocation as if to prove what they Intend, now a year since ready for occupation, the private ones remain empty, but due to a Nationwide downturn in spending caused by covid, they are very expensive for the area... Would I buy One ? - NOPE got great views but no space on the ground floor, I have gardens bigger than most new builds, so, I stay. i`m happy.
If you allow in investors your rents will rise and no one will be able to afford to live there. Shrub maintenance, junk clean up, paint, would work wonders and help a lot. Does the town not supply any maintenance? It's by the sea, and beautiful, don't let investors in.
thanks alot for your braveness filming there! i wonder how they afford cars with the average salary being that low? am i missing something here or is it financed cars or stolen?
HAVE you not yet realised the amount of retired folk like my late wife and myself chose to retire here as 55 years olds, laugh at those still in drudgery working till near death at 65 plus.. 18 years later was the best thing i ever done giving up the traffic noise and rat race for peace and quiet and FREE FRESH AIR 24/7..
I can see that the housing looks incredibly cheap and there seem to be issues with dereliction and furniture and rubbish not collected. It's definitely a low-income area. But in most developing countries this would be a wealthy neighbourhood. It has roads in good nick, electricity, lots of cars. Peaceful and seems safe. Be thankful for what you've got.
If it was well kept abd invested in with its fine beach and open aspect it would be great place to live Many years ago in 60s we used holiday just up the coast at St osyth all the chalets bungalows and caravans lost tooth encroaching sea...
There are many areas worse than jaywick ik it is poor but the news always covers areas that no one has ever heard of before to attract attention cause most of the larger cities n towns have proper ghetto estates unlike this
I used to holiday there in the 40s and 50s but in Jaywick Village which is /was the better part .The area known as Brooklands whare all the roads are named after cars has always been run down with no mains sewerage
People might also like to have a look at my plotlands book 'Plotlands of Shepperton' and 'Chalet Fields of the Gower'. The plotlands approach has a lot of potential.
I nearly moved there a few years back - my mate who lived there reckoned he owned half the estate ...I checked the property register... - seems he was full of jobbies.........
What viewers dont understand Is the many owner occupiers have spent lots on "There" properties but cr&p TV only shows the worst. Its been like that for years ever since the 1970 motion lost in the high court to knock it down, the council lost, then lost again in 2006.. Were a strange bunch we stick together - lol
There are normal working families who live here. Decent normal families. The fact the local authority neglect the area when it comes to funding and tend to dump an unfair proportion of benefit claimants doesn't make the area bad. Just a little run down in appearance
Sad as it is one if the driest and sunniest parts if UK u.e. the sunshine Coast but built fir holidays in Sumner not all year accommodation and no drainage as such or flood defences..
I know people are poor and it’s probably a different place at night but can it really be that bad. The skies the beach. What’s so bad about this place. Someone tell me without all the media shite hype.
Because they’re financially irresponsible. They run into some money once in their life, an amount that could change their lives by allowing them to move to an area with better employment potential or start a business, and they spend it on a car. You could give each resident of this place £1 million tomorrow and by next week nothing will have changed except a few more nice cars that they can’t afford to run. There’s a reason poor people are poor
Dont look too bad some nice houses up to you if you let it go but theres people need help the council should help out not let it go downhill we have it here in Ireland they say we dont do this and that they used too just got money hungry like the rest they will sell the good properties to foreigners though governments all f....d up everywhere now..
@@johngallagher909 well it's the truth the people come into the country with loads of money and buy up houses so what's left over??? They also buy the land too..
it needs some cash put into it and maybe get a full huge skips and let the locals fill them up for free and get the fronts all cleared of sofas etc would already look 100% better,, Nice beach though
Northern Poland does not look like this town. Why are you telling bullshit. Polish people are hard working nation and their cities are much cleaner than English.
It's better than a lot of towns in the UK especially inner cities. It is not however a patch on Moscow or SPb but yes there are some depressing places in Russia like Chelyabinsk or most places to the east of the Urals. There is one thing, the women are far more beautiful in Russia in every sense
Thanks. You might have knocked, at 3'09"", and told them there's an apostrophe in 'Don't'. The 'absence of 'The' could be debated. 6'00"-6'16", I'll treat as satire. I imagine that those there are still ! voting for either one of the three largest political parties: our sins destroy each one of us. Still, no coach trips from, say, Kensington and Chelsea are regularly taken there to ransack it regularly; most I'd say have done it to themselves.
What’s crime like there? I get the impression the residents are just less fortunate rather than being nasty bastards like in some major cities? I’d genuinely rather live there than in the middle of London.
As someone who spent a lot of there childhood here: staying with my nan in the summer holidays, from my experience the people are polite and friendly. That being said there is a serious drug problem here. Due to its location being so close to London, it quickly became a drug line hotspot. I believe the London metropolitan police once claimed Clacton (the area Jaywick resides in), has the highest number of "county lines" in the UK. So there is violence and gang culture here, even tho much of it is from the London gangs. If you are confused with the concept of county lines, here is a good resource to learn more www.london.gov.uk/city-hall-blog/lifting-lid-county-lines.
Never heard of it before. Had to look it up. I'm sick of what Whitechapel has become since I bought my 17th century alms cottage back in 1985. It was 100% white working class then. Outside my own now gated community it has become 95% muslim. I'm on the look out for something close to the sea, since I was born in Blackpool. This place looks ideal for someone who can trade down and afford a nice car with the change. Not for me, too close to London, I'm going back to my roots in the Fylde. But to own a bungalow that looks straight out to the sea is fantastic. I can't afford that where I am going. The really grim parts of Jaywick would be behind you.

That kid in the trolley was just playing, not ASBOing about and even the three teens were just walking and minding their own business. Nice American classic car there...maybe that might be a bit noisy if someone is constantly tinkering away at it, but that's picking holes.
Blimey. I live in a large semi in a 'desirable location' where the town/village centre has trendy bars, an artisnal gin producer and a posh cheese/deli shop cum restaurant and I have to put up with a neanderthal blasting terrible Euro-pop-dance from his enormous man cave while he luxuriates in the hot tub he has rammed up against the fence. I don't know what he's doing in there, but the noises that come out of it are...erm...👀😐. That's when he's not 'playing' with the kid and making it howl or doing his weights on the contraption he's rigged up in the garden specifically for that purpose.
Think I'll go and have a look at Jaywick on Rightmove.
RDubya:My home was by the ocean.Sadly,due to a stupid mistake which I regret every day of my life,I ended up in a grotty city for a while Escaped to a more rural area but unfortunately it has a yob pod who sit outside every summer evening playing loud 'music',yelling & screaming,drinking & smoking weed.The guy next door broke down the gate to what was our quiet back lane looking into the garth.The powers that b have left it there for over a year.Prob because they think it'll happen again.So now we have idiots coming down there to smoke,drink & litter.Apart from those four or five families our little close could be great.However,because one gate of the 3 has to be kept open for H & S reasons,it let's in the TT's.A real shame.
@@susanmccormick6022 The house I lived in from 0-7 was compulsory purchased by the Council for slum clearance. The next house from 7-19 was a terrace on a main road in a so-called bad area. I'd go back to either at the drop of a hat. Neighbours and community are the difference between your home being a haven or a living hell. Luckily this idiot next to us is just a d1ck and annoying more than anything else. He still has mummy around all the time, pandering to his every whim, and his wife is just as daft for going out to work every day on the pretext that he is home watching the kid (which he takes to his mum's. The only reason I know this is because the parcel delivery driver told me one day when he was especially p***ed off by him - apparently he hates him too. Lol).
It's just not nice not being able to enjoy your garden or home because of other selfish people is it? Whether it be playing loud music or shouting so loud that sitting in the garden chatting to friends means you have to keep asking them to repeat themselves or shout as well because he drowns them out.
He plays with the kid and there's lots of screeching at the top of his voice from him - the kid attempts to follow suit but is only a toddler, so isn't as invasive. Of course because he's a complete numbnut he plays too rough and the kid ends up howling that awful plaintiff screeching crying that tugs at your heart. He's not deliberately cruel - I know because I can hear literally every word and movement from the other side of the garden where I now sit to put as much distance between us as possible. He's just a narcissistic idiot who is overindulged by the people in his life. A giant, spoilt brat of a manchild. The only creepy thing is that he makes sure everything he does is right next to the adjoining fence despite having a massive garden, but that's probably to annoy us. He also peers over the fence when he thinks I/we can't see him and positions himself doing 'something' right opposite our back door and peers in the kitchen. Again, it's probably just a combination of being nosy and and attempt to annoy us.
Your situation sounds awful though and such a shame. I hope you have a bit of luck soon and something gets sorted for you. I feel bad about my initial post now - I know a lot of people have a lot worse with real anti-social behaviour and feeling threatened in their own home. I hope I've cleared things up in my reply. Stay safe. 👍
First went there in 1969 I think on a family holiday - mum,dad,me and brother and sister.My dad did't drive then so a mate of his from work agreed to drive us down there from West London.My mum had fun with 2 of 3 kids being travel sick most of the way on what was then a long journey.My dad had booked a chalet on the Brooklands estate (Alvis Avenue I think) for two weeks.He didn't realise at the time that a lot of the chalets had outside toilets and also no plumbing in them !...there was the large 3 wheeled tanker vehicle that came round every few days to empty the toilets,which my dad christened "The Honey Wagon"
We returned the next 5 years running although had learnt from the first experience and stayed in bungalows on Meadow Way and Willow Way.
I used to work there in 2018, most houses still had outside toilets
The dog is just adorable, he/she is so inquisitive walking around the area.
Back in the day a cracking location....
now a crackheads location....

You walked through the streets without getting mugged. Already a step up from Croydon. This may say more about some of the places I have lived and/or worked but looks ok to me.
I know I was so confused it don’t look bad at all really compared to the big cities

Croydon ain’t even that bad lol
@@evanpoole7829 yes it is.
I sold up and retired into Brooklands as a 55 year old, like my late wife we was working ourselves to death but earned very well, insolvency after 40 years in one company or in its group let me see I never needed to die before 65 years of age.. Im now 74 and buying into 3 plots in the far end of Brooklands save my life and sanity/ Best thing i ever done was move from a better part of North Romford after 25 years, no traffic NO WORK no noise, no worries.. live 30 metres from great beaches, no option is a better choice than retire at 55 and own it all outright/ cheap to live, no noise, love it here.Most of the knockers have never visited but with the IGNORANCE SHOWN BY MANY we would not want you visiting STAY AWAY in your own insecure lives..
Jaywick, twinned with Beruit until recently, when the mayor of Beruit complained that it made his townspeople embarrassed to be associated with such a shithole that they started a 'gofundme' drive to raise help for the Jaywick residents! So far they've raised twenty gallons of petrol and fourteen sticks of dynamite!
LOL-- TWAT
Bravo!
😂
Haha!
LOL. It all needs tearing down.
Actually doesn't look bad when it sunny.
oh i do like to be beside the seaside not
I think Trevor from GTA would enjoy living there. Honestly looks quite pleasant in the sun, nice and quiet, nobody bothered the guy, some cool cars...
Unfortunately it's the few that mess it up for masses you could put some in the Ritz and they would trash it
What a cute lickle doggo 😊
This is way WAY waaaay better than many towns and cities around here, in south america. Take me there, please
This place looks relatively clean compared to some of places up here in the North East, for example Horden near Peterlee, a village where whole streets have boarded up housing and a relatively high crime rate.
It could be very nice if people took a little more trouble.
Cute dog
Actually looks better than when I’ve seen it before. A bit tidier?
I was just thinking that tbh
The MP of Clacton a few years back (I believe it was Douglas Carswel of UKIP) stepped in and built new apartments and has been trying to improve the area for the residents. Done a good job with what he was given
Totally agree - i think it would turn out nice!
Keep expecting Bubbles & Ricky to pop out any minute.
Would love to live here.
You are joking of course.
me and my late wife retired here as 55 year olds selling up a big 3 bed semi in a nice area.. Working like loonies earning lots of money WOULD have killed me at least, but buying the near 3 plots extending the bungalow, having a huge rear garden thats now access in the next road does for me.. Lived happily here 18 years now.. STILL ALIVE AT 74 years of age..
This place has so much potential ❤️
people have potential places only reflect that potential. These people have little potential hence they can't maintain a civilised area.
for the town to improve a different population would have to reside there.
Nice to have your own garden
Looks lovely to me
LOL. I think not.
Cute dog. That black cat scared him. Lol.
Spent many happy days down there Fishing off the wall opposite Sweet Tina's curtain shop in the 70s loved it there had a caravan there
Some parts of Jaywick are well ok.... This is filmed in Brooklands area but if you go into the village beyond the Sheldrake pub it is actually very nice, go even further onto the Tudor Estate it's a different world & some parts even feel posh.
I know it inside out was brought up there as a kid.
Crikey, a house with 2 trans ams, a Dodge ram, a 60 Impala down the road, and a classic GMC pick up . Looks like the back streets of New york.
Bizarrely, one of the houses had an American flag outside.
If big developers get hold of this place it would be the biz.
No it wouldn't, the jaywick residents would get pushed out
@@jordanpilcher5528 They've already got an art gallery - as soon as it's on the 'coolness map of the UK' - you'll get vegan eateries and crystal magic shops everywhere.
Only a matter of time.
Where is everyone!
It's nice there the sea ⛵ air ....
Maybe they could clean up their yards and streets and the place would be lovely. Its a shame they are too lazy to do it
you have no idea the trap you fell for.. trash tv and news media cherry pick trash to bolster there drab stories/ its like a magnet for trash film makers but non film the majority of it being much better
It's OK, only let down by the design and lack of redevelopment. Looks quiet and peaceful, compared to living near main roads. Only £12,000 for a burned roof property on rightmove and £70,000 for a live-able 'house'.
A diamond in the rough, it needs investment, a demolition company, the council to do their job with infrastructure and cleaning the place up, and the people then might take pride in the place and do their part.
You dont understand Steven, we currently have a modernistic movement currently within our community, developing and painting the places they OWN.. Ok history time - In the 1970s the then urban district council wanted to bulldoze it all, the governing body the JSFA (jaywick sands freeholders association) took the council to the High Court of London, Council LOST, was forced to supply sewerage, drinking water and electric light, Clacton refused to supply the light so neighbouring St.Osyth supplied it.. The local council HATED the place ever since.. I bought my property in 2004 along with extra plots for cash. In 2006 the local council brought in an outside london company to tell us villagers what we want / bulldoze half or bulldoze all (including the many that own).. OUTRAGED residents met in the community centre when the so called outside company wanted to give us there ideas, the MD supposed to give us details but was told GO BACK TO LONDON NOW - Echos of "Run Forest run" - LOL since then Local council has granted £millions spent on a 2 year project to give our private roads the very best modern road drainage, pavements, and billiard flat roads, then many more £millions on home upgrades, to everyone who wanted it, mine was the very first one undertaken, 8inches of layered exterior insulation with white stone chip finish, old style electric heating ripped out and high tech "AirSource" units put in place, every room has slim line radiators, new hotwater tanks and plumbing.. (the units look like big aircon units) plus new double glazed windows although mine were only 6 years old after a total upgrade I had done then.. The council put forwards a plan to slowly buy up empty plots, derelict properties and those wishing to sell quickly and cheaply to them using the Land banking Idea.. It Is there aim to one day develop the village, but In 2006 was costed then at £75 MILLION IF everyone sold, I refused, but priced my plots plus property at £1 million take it or leave it, as, there IS NO LEGAL ARGUMENT for me to sell to the council... Using legal argument I proved we would not flood, but the council in conjunction with local builders have had built 2 blocks of new modern flood proofed housing of 3 stories high, half for private sale half for council housing stock allocation as if to prove what they Intend, now a year since ready for occupation, the private ones remain empty, but due to a Nationwide downturn in spending caused by covid, they are very expensive for the area... Would I buy One ? - NOPE got great views but no space on the ground floor, I have gardens bigger than most new builds, so, I stay. i`m happy.
I'm going to be doing a vlog here for my TH-cam in a couple of weeks. Thanks for uploading
If you allow in investors your rents will rise and no one will be able to afford to live there. Shrub maintenance, junk clean up, paint, would work wonders and help a lot. Does the town not supply any maintenance? It's by the sea, and beautiful, don't let investors in.
thanks alot for your braveness filming there! i wonder how they afford cars with the average salary being that low? am i missing something here or is it financed cars or stolen?
People earn minimum wage countrywide and afford cars not just Jaywick.
benefits
HAVE you not yet realised the amount of retired folk like my late wife and myself chose to retire here as 55 years olds, laugh at those still in drudgery working till near death at 65 plus.. 18 years later was the best thing i ever done giving up the traffic noise and rat race for peace and quiet and FREE FRESH AIR 24/7..
I would think any mediocre town by the sea would still be better than any mediocre inland town. The sea is everything!
I can see that the housing looks incredibly cheap and there seem to be issues with dereliction and furniture and rubbish not collected. It's definitely a low-income area.
But in most developing countries this would be a wealthy neighbourhood. It has roads in good nick, electricity, lots of cars. Peaceful and seems safe.
Be thankful for what you've got.
Much improved since I was last there a few years back.
Doesn't look too bad, the residents could make it look nicer with some plants etc, yes there is a lot of empty houses, but where isn't there now.
If it was well kept abd invested in with its fine beach and open aspect it would be great place to live
Many years ago in 60s we used holiday just up the coast at St osyth all the chalets bungalows and caravans lost tooth encroaching sea...
There are many areas worse than jaywick ik it is poor but the news always covers areas that no one has ever heard of before to attract attention cause most of the larger cities n towns have proper ghetto estates unlike this
I used to holiday there in the 40s and 50s but in Jaywick Village which is /was the better part .The area known as Brooklands whare all the roads are named after cars has always been run down with no mains sewerage
Pub is called never say die..think ill give it a miss
People might also like to have a look at my plotlands book 'Plotlands of Shepperton' and 'Chalet Fields of the Gower'. The plotlands approach has a lot of potential.
I nearly moved there a few years back - my mate who lived there reckoned he owned half the estate ...I checked the property register... - seems he was full of jobbies.........
The classic American muscle car tho :o not what you’d expect to see, I mean it might not start but still interesting to see
It does run well
5uper5kill3rz The police asked the owner why isn't it taxed? He said 'it doesn't work, so why should it pay tax'?
Looks like it could be a cute town. it just needs some flowers and a little TLC. But I'm American what do I know.
Still better than the gettho Skid Row.
Lovely dog, and lots of cats. Looks like a place with great potential, if only someone would invest in it.
What viewers dont understand Is the many owner occupiers have spent lots on "There" properties but cr&p TV only shows the worst. Its been like that for years ever since the 1970 motion lost in the high court to knock it down, the council lost, then lost again in 2006.. Were a strange bunch we stick together - lol
That one house always get a look. The one buy the road with no roof and is full of bin bags
There are normal working families who live here. Decent normal families. The fact the local authority neglect the area when it comes to funding and tend to dump an unfair proportion of benefit claimants doesn't make the area bad. Just a little run down in appearance
Not the cess pit that that channel 5 portrayed!
Looks a bit neater and emptier than when i last went there in like 2008 sort of time
A bit like a refugee camp. It’s in the south. That’s incredible
1:50 whaaaat? The wall is melting.
Lots of new cars there
It looks ok, just needs the residents to clean up, imagine living at the seaside, please tidy up your area,
Maureen Hinsley: I did live by the ocean & would give almost anything to go back even if the emmits are a pain!
looks like anywhere else in England
Sad but true statement. I'm only 36 but its visibly gone down hill in my lifetime.
It looks quite a nice place by the seaside. A lot better than inner city suburbs I've been to

I know people are poor and it’s probably a different place at night but can it really be that bad. The skies the beach. What’s so bad about this place. Someone tell me without all the media shite hype.
Looks like Detroit! Massive potential for something nice.
It used to be lovely when my family owned a chalet in Alvis Avenue. It need bulldozing
When was that? In the 1920s?
Why so many people got classic muscle cars and trucks there tho??
Because they’re financially irresponsible. They run into some money once in their life, an amount that could change their lives by allowing them to move to an area with better employment potential or start a business, and they spend it on a car. You could give each resident of this place £1 million tomorrow and by next week nothing will have changed except a few more nice cars that they can’t afford to run. There’s a reason poor people are poor

Dont look too bad some nice houses up to you if you let it go but theres people need help the council should help out not let it go downhill we have it here in Ireland they say we dont do this and that they used too just got money hungry like the rest they will sell the good properties to foreigners though governments all f....d up everywhere now..

6'00"-6'16", I'll treat as satire.
I imagine that those there are still ! voting for either one of the three largest political parties: our sins destroy each one of us.
Still, no coach trips from, say, Kensington and Chelsea are regularly taken there to ransack it regularly; most I'd say have done it to themselves.
What’s crime like there? I get the impression the residents are just less fortunate rather than being nasty bastards like in some major cities? I’d genuinely rather live there than in the middle of London.
Middle of London is fine that’s central where all the rich ppl live, the rest of London is bad
@@annoymous7052 yep, that’s a fair point
As someone who spent a lot of there childhood here: staying with my nan in the summer holidays, from my experience the people are polite and friendly. That being said there is a serious drug problem here. Due to its location being so close to London, it quickly became a drug line hotspot. I believe the London metropolitan police once claimed Clacton (the area Jaywick resides in), has the highest number of "county lines" in the UK.
So there is violence and gang culture here, even tho much of it is from the London gangs.
If you are confused with the concept of county lines, here is a good resource to learn more

Oh God... and people actually live there...
Deprived?
Never heard of it before. Had to look it up. I'm sick of what Whitechapel has become since I bought my 17th century alms cottage back in 1985. It was 100% white working class then. Outside my own now gated community it has become 95% muslim. I'm on the look out for something close to the sea, since I was born in Blackpool. This place looks ideal for someone who can trade down and afford a nice car with the change. Not for me, too close to London, I'm going back to my roots in the Fylde. But to own a bungalow that looks straight out to the sea is fantastic. I can't afford that where I am going. The really grim parts of Jaywick would be behind you.
I lived in Whitechapel (Vallance Rd.) from 2007 till 2013. The only things I miss are the gyms and the curry houses...
Not even that bad
I thought it was ilford/ Dagenham loool
