      It’s refreshing to see a non patronising documentary that has the residents at the centre of attention. It’s neither trying to portray everything as perfect or noble when it’s not, nor is it portraying the area and it’s people as the underclass to make viewers feel better about their lot in life in comparison

    During the 60s I had an Aunt and Uncle who made their first home together in Jaywick Sands (Riley Avenue). I was a kid then (born in 1956). I loved having holidays there, our family would rent a little holiday home nearby (one week Butlin's and one week in Jaywick). There was no inside toilets back then....or plumbed water. The alleys were for the night soil men to access the toilets to remove the waste in the early hours of the morning. Water came from a standpipe in the street. Every property was well kept and painted every year. My aunts was blue and white, next door was maroon and cream. Life was simple. I learned the name of the little streets (all named after car manufacturers of the dayl. Alvis, Bentley, Riley Wolesley (that sort of thing). Brooklands had a big green in the middle and shops and amusements. First time I had milk in a triangular tetra pack (well before plastic bottles). My father would swim every day from Jaywick to Clacton and back. So many happy memories. It was heartbreaking to see the decline when Butlin's closed. 💖

    Simon, I love seeing how you don't come into a place with judgment even when people all around you (and in the comments...) telling you how awful/depressing/dangerous a place is and, because of it, your attitude gets others in the community to open up to you and want to share their lives. Jaywick may be impoverished, may have issues with addiction, etc. but I also see people who are more humble, more genuine and still holding on to the sense of community lost across the globe in major cities. Hell, even in your comments you see so much nasty and judgmental comments about Danny (He's annoying! He's on crack!) when, in reality, Danny is spending each day checking on people, holding positivity meetings, creating signs/brochures to help the community and brainstorming ideas with residents to make changes...that's far more than the average person does for their own neighborhoods.

    Went to Jaywick for our Annual Family Holiday many times in the 1970s, as it was all that our Parents could afford. Even back then, when it was a holiday resort, it was classed as a deprived area. Accommodation around Brooklands wasn’t connected to the Sewer System, so we had to use a bucket in the yard, which was emptied weekly. I now get told by Younger generations that I’ve had privilege all my life, just cos I worked hard, saved money and ultimately bought a house! They also moan that they can’t afford to pay for the 4 week trek around South America they had planned. They should book a 2 week break in Jaywick instead. Shine on!

The neighbour came out pushed them to the ground saying that was his fence. My customer flattened him with a right hook and carried on as if nothing happened.
