- A morning stroll through the coastal village of Jaywick, Essex.
This video was filmed on Sunday 19th February, 2023.
The camera used for filming is a Sony FDR-X3000.
Jaywick is a coastal village in the Tendring district of Essex, England, 2 miles (3 km) west of Clacton-on-Sea. It lies on the North Sea coast of England, 60 miles (97 km) from London and 17 miles (27 km) from Colchester. It was constructed in the 1930s as a holiday resort for Londoners, but has, over time, declined to a point where it is regularly mentioned as one of the most deprived area of the country.
In 2010, Jaywick was assessed as the most deprived area in England. In September 2015, it was again named as the most deprived, according to the indices of deprivation based on several factors including: poverty, crime, education and skill levels, unemployment and housing, after being assessed in 2012-13. Referring to the older estates in Jaywick, the headmistress of Frobisher Primary School said "When you go to certain parts of it, you are quite shocked that you are in England." In 2012, Jaywick was labelled the UK's youth unemployment hotspot. Randeep Ramesh, writing in The Guardian, noted that there has been little employment available since the Butlins holiday camp closed in 1983. Local charity Signpost has helped young people find employment, which has become difficult due to many jobs being a significant distance away in Colchester or Ipswich. Tightening of building regulations has meant that simple builders jobs for cash are now illegal without appropriate health and safety training.
Geographically, Jaywick is relatively isolated and by not being part of a large inner-city area, it has not had the investment opportunities afforded to other deprived areas in the country. However, there is now a firm commitment to invest in the future of the area and support the local community. The regeneration of Jaywick Sands is already underway and Tendring District Council is looking forward to the opportunities ahead.
love jaywick
A fab place 👍
I went one time and see that area before and that beach part with the steps
Thanks for watching 🙏
was it early or are all the shops closed period
been there a few times in the Martello Beach they seem lovely people there
To be fair it was fairly early on a Sunday morning so nice and quiet 🙏
THE STREETS ARE AMAZINGLY CLEAR OF RUBBISH.
A really strong community here 🙏
Maybe Jaywick is on an upwards curve?
I don't doubt it still has shady elements, but it's been given plenty of publicity over the years.
However, there needs to be a balance retaining locals and newcomers (aka investors) because if handled wrongly it could end being a new hipster city!!
A very interesting point - Margate springs to mind as an example too.
I visited Margate 10 years ago. I'm from South Wales...I thought it was ripe for investment. Same feel about Jaywick
You missed off the worst of the residential estates but having been I also understand why.
Thanks for watching 🙏 there is definitely more to see but I feel you get a decent look at the place by walking along the seafront 👍
It doesn't look bad to me I live in Blackpool and that as got plenty of faults
It’s a decent place 👍 people slate it but just needs a bit of investment. Great people 🙏 will head over to Blackpool for a video one of these days 🤩
You didn't actually film the deprivated parts of Jaywick.
Definitely could have seen more but you get a decent flavour of it I feel 👍
Well it's no worse than St Neots ! Come and see a town with cars and potholes everywhere, no parking facilities but plenty of charity shops. The high street is full of boarded up shops but of course plenty of hair dressers, cash must be king ?
Very interesting, thank you - I’ll try and get there for a video at some point in the future 👍
Or walton
Walton is great - I have a separate video for this 😊
You need a bit of sponge cover mic
All sorted now! Got a piece of sponge from tesco and an elastic band!! Thanks for watching 🙏
Many thanks for your feedback sir, always valuable 🙏 what would be the one other place that comes to mind? I will see if I can get there and make a video 👍
Jaywick is a nice place, like anywhere has one or two problems
Absolutely right - real down to earth people 🙏 thanks for watching 👍
Every town every city world wide has benefits drug addicts its a choice i think livung by the sea would be lovely
It’s in a lovely part of the world 🙏 fantastic beaches 😀
Clacton on seas worse
Thanks for watching and your comments - both places struggling for sure and need some help. So much potential in the area 🙏
This is like any other seaside town. And the point is????
Thanks for watching - the point is that people who haven’t been before may enjoy seeing it via this video 😊
And the original documentary Benefits By the Sea gave it the image of a shanty town
I have stayed in worse places than that mate.
Yeah it gets a bad name sadly but it’s an interesting place - like you say, I’ve also seen worse and the people are great 👍
Just wish certain people would put there money where their mouths are.
