I go through Jaywick alot, and believe me, i have never had any problems! Locals always smile - and, okay, it may be a bit rough around the edges, but hey, it was never mean't to be a permanent settlement of any kind.
just looked at the film i walked round jaywick last week the film is really dated i cant understand why people slag it off i really liked the town.and the people r so nice chatted to loads off locally people.will be moving there really loved it,
Me and my mates had some great time in Jaywick in the late 80's.. Drinking in the Mermaid and going to the social club thing. Then into Wacky Clacky!! Great days..
It's not without its issues, but you're right, this IS a cruel little film. It still doesnt manage to detract from my sense of affection for Jaywick. Ive just seen a short film called 'Our Coast' (Jaywick featured), made by teenagers at Clacton Coastal Academy. They intended to say something about exactly these social issues, but discovered equally much positive to say. The resulting film is a little love story really for a stretch of coast so many of us cherish, with its problems intact!
passed through the front of jaywick today. not many of the houses were burnt out, but alot of them were borded up & rather rough around the edges. just realised, the house at 0:34 has changed allot since the pic was taken & it does look rather humble now (sep 2011) i think what one of the major problems of jaywick is industry......there's nowhere TO work. if there were jobs it could help the locals by providing them with the much needed jobs the community needs to thrive & change.
leave jaywick alone i have so many happy memories of going on my hols there .when i was young i take my own kids there now.and they love it .its not like this vid now. jaywick still rocks
Seen worse places in England, quite a lot of Jaywick is quite nice and as Luke says there are now some nice new homes there. The area is always going to be affected by natural disasters because of its location but there is opportunity nearby with Clacton and London not to far away.
I am sure that the level of illiteracy displayed here was only used for the purposes of irony. Most people I know in Jaywick are friendly and happier than people in Clacton or Holland (might be a reason for that) and people are right when they call it a real COMMUNITY.
This is really sad :( I used to live on Garden Road, had a great childhood there, but the area was going downhill when we left in '95. I didn't know it had gotten this bad. There's no excuse for the council to not be doing their part here, especially with the funds in reserve we all KNOW they have. Pretending they can lock the problems away in one little area is a big mistake. It WILL spill over into Clacton if it hasn't already. Sort it out Tendring!!
i live less than 2 miles from here, it is a dive proper shit. although there are some decent residents there who are hardcore Jaywicans who will live there till they die. A different house "catches" fire pretty much weekly, and you run out of fingers counting the crackheads at night. it will struggle to ever be rebuilt as most residents will fight their houses being demolished until the end, and to be honest are probably a big factor in jaywicks decline, and lack of new properties
Reminds me of some parts of the US. This is what happens when right-wing governments for rich get elected, the gap between the rich and poor widens creating more social inequality and mass poverty.
be quite , my friend lives in jaywick and this is only the bad parts of jaywick . have you showed the good parts like arcades , beach bars and the friendly people NO i suggets if your going to make a video about somewhere , show all of it not just parts!
Worst video I've ever seen and very cruel and unbalanced. I used to live in Jaywick. Yes, its deprived but nowhere near as this video shows. Theres good and bad everywhere. Love the place, love the people. I have some very happy memories of both.
very cruel..what sort of smart arse wrote that BS at the end? how dare you make such judgements on people. what have you got to offer then eh? why did you bother making this? I mean why insult an already injured people and area? pathetic

It's like the British version of Flint, Michigan!

all you people trying to say jaywicks not that bad are clearly among the 90% of jaywick residents on smack, stop trying to polish a turd!
This is just a couple of streets............................................why the propoganda?
