What's Happening To Jaywick? 

Jaywick should be renamed 'Costa Del Fart'

Absolutely

I'm not a fan of the silly name. Who would want to live in a place called Jaywick?

@@RAFchurchlawford4469 What's silly about it?

😂 speaking as an ex-local to Jaywick, your grandfather would be correct

What a nasty remark to say, during the war Jaywick Sands would have been a fairly new holiday village and that’s all it was intended to be, admittedly it is a bit of a dump nowadays but it was never meant to be a permanent solution

@@nicholaswilliams4336 it looks like it's been bombed .

wow thanks Rebecca

agree

agree

But as normal they never show further down, with many owners spending lots of money on there properties. just about every tv programme or youtuber channel never shows further down, or round the back, its always the first and worst parts - makes there story better i guess. check some current houses for sale in Brooklands Jaywick to see my point

Hopefully as looks quite quaint just been allowed to get run down it's a shame

@@allylou5151 Actually if you research lots HAS been done over the last say 10 years, all the side roads underwent a 2 year programme bringing them up to modern road designs along with modern road drainage, then the "Insulating Jaywick" group insulated those who wished it, 8 inches of exteriour insulation finished with sun reflection white polar stone chip, old storage heaters ripped out, new slimline rads in each rooom powered by high tech AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMP hot water and heating systems, modern hot tanks old fashioned cold loft tanks taken out, plus new double glazed windows and very deep roof and i got underfloor insulation also.. Many resident owners have spent lots on refurbishments but no one shows us further down brooklands/ have a look on rightmove for current places for sale.

Its got a lovely cosy vibe about it,the residents care for each other ........lovely x

I bet there is some investment potential

best in essex

yep but its a start :-)

its got one of the best beaches in Essex

Yes😃😄👍

Spent every summer there in the 70's. Loved it.

Tbf I doubt outsiders would want to ‘risk’ moving there. So much snobbery etc might save the place aha. Think jaywick is safe from gentrification.

I'm surprised artists don't move down

thanks Richie

They did a tv documentary on it - Tim is showing a decent side of it - documentary is an eye opener

You are welcome david

Was the flood caused by the Sea or by Rain ?

@@nicholaswilliams4336 the sea. I think it was a high tide.

thanks for watching the video :-)

wow

I doubt that lol

It was developers who started the original decline of the brooklands estate in Jaywick in the first place

Doubtful. Not sure the residents want that either. To me sandbanks is a bit souless

exactly what ive been saying for years.lets all chip in and buy it for a tenner lol.jokes aside it would be small change and a nice little project for a millionaire

At 55 years of age fate saw me and my late wife retire. Wife was ex nurse, 12 hour shifts 5 / 6 days a week, me on 14 hour nights on AERO space parts production some weeks 12 nights long. lived a great life WHEN not at work.. March 2003 it stopped overnight.. We had a family of 5 home, 3 bed extended semi nice area but no income for me, only the wifes.. what to do.. Sold it all up, bought into Jaywick, was a small bungalow on 2 1/2 plots, we had it extended, eventually ended up with a patio, a grandkids fenced off garden, a 26 foot long car port for my landrovers behind a gated entrance in the next road.. Own it all outright and been retired here 18 years so far, sadly the wife only had 12 years in retirement bless her but she lived life well before cancer took her/ thats life it happens.. SO GLAD I SOLD UP EARLY AND RETIRED.. Here till I die, and still "only" 74 - lol

Incorrect, it was built as temporary summer houses only, which is well documented & known. After WW2 the need for housing & the incompetent selling-off of government housing moved tenants into the originally designed temporary housing. The local council earned a reputation for non prosecution of unscrupulos private landlords, uninterested in their tenants welfare nor meeting their legal obligations to provide fit housing, which attracted the worse private landlords, parasytically feeding from the locals. It all stems from the local council's failure to prosecute rogue landlords in a timely manner, they are not prote tung their people. You would not pay for repairs to a landlords building. The whole systemic rent-seeking landlord brings no value, it extracts value. Most people in UK cannot afford to do that, nor should they be knocked for having not done so.

People travel in to dump rubbish.

lol

Lovely place to live you are joking all skanks

I can understand that.

I totally agree!

wow bargin

Just look on rightmove house sales for CO152JZ for local prices, yes some are ex rental but lots are nice owned properties with prices rising fast at last. The beach front walkway shown has nice sized bungalows for well over £200.000 while ex rentals in the worst part of brooklands go for £50.000 with lots needing work before the buy to let landlords buy them..You pays your money and takes your pick as always.

Thanks 👍

From the Ross Kemp documentary weed is the least of the issues there . I wouldn’t feel safe visiting if I’m being truly honest

Such a shame! I hope the Redevelopments can tackle all the underlying issues. It could be such a lovely little place.

Good and bad areas everywhere.

I have watched jaywick on TV and the community are close and help each other tho they are broke with nothing they really are caring people and I would prefer them to stuck up snobs who wouldn't give u a light and there was one chap who was really working hard to help the community

@@hugoagogo4324 sounds like Jaywick already has community spirit. Hopefully the redevelopment will give Jaywick the support it needs to help the community.

Thanks

Happy holidays!

its got to start somewhere

You are welcome thanks for watching david

I really enjoy ur walks maybe ur do one further into jaywick in glebe way and rosemary way estate as the bungalows were very nice b interesting to see how things have changed since I was last there one day U may have a stroll thanks again tim

the best in Essex :-)

There it is! Sweet Tina’s! You just walked past it 😊

Absolutely

Thanks and you

wow that butlins in Clacton was massive

we had planned It but had to change dates .. its coming soon

@@WalkWithMeTim What a legend! looking forward to it mate 👍

Phone at the ready and tv poised I can't remember anything on tv say anything good about jaywick and I know you will do it proud

I think so

there is some investment going on

There lies the problem though Tendring council and Clacton udc before it never spent a penny on Jaywick . Happy enough to take the rate money but until they were shamed into it didn't spend there . They wouldn't even put water mains, electricity or drainage in originally . They were against the original holiday chalets in Brooklands at the beginning and then pretended they weren't there for 50 years ..

wow

It's funny because I live in England and I'm obsessed with a NZ town called Coromandel

Well said!

Any time

yes defo

They were lovely back in the day when they were holiday homes people owned. Now it's mostly owned by lazy landlords and rented out to people on housing benefit

im glad I can help lol

Was just thinking that. Nice to be somewhere without all the mod cons. Who knows, maybe people will crave this sort of ‘underdevelopment’ in the future. Of course the area needs job etc but not sure it needs any fancy new homes.

Nice top by the way 👏 👌

lol thanks
