In the 90's there was a nightclub on Clacton Pier called 'Oscars'. Once in a while they would open the pier for all night raves. Top House and DNB DJ's, PA's, you name it. The Prodigy played there in 92. Many global DJ's played sets there. Blur played a gig on the Pier also and it was epic. The town definitely struggles, but there are some good people there who stick a few of the important things together, so to speak.

But I went down there recently and nothing's changed - they're frozen in time. And for the elderly that's fine but the young folk need change and new stuff to do. It's just too hard to come by in these places isn't it? And so, no one is going to them to visit.

I don't know how true that is about London councils using it as a dumping ground for undesirables.

Jaywick has an ongoing fight for a massive reinvestment program, but it's got so many issues it's very hard to sort out. I would not be surprised if the next government tightens up controls on the standards of privately owned social housing (which at the moment is a disaster) and a lot of those properties are either modernised or removed.

Expat from Denton, Manchester here, currently in living in Canada…you brought a tear to my eye. England will always be my home as my children are the first generation of my family line to make homes in the ‘new’ world. Once you leave, you can never go back, but you never quite fit in where you settle either. Travelling is great and will expand your view of humanity, but a sense of home and of belonging to a place can’t be overstated. Think long and hard before you abandon your home, think about staying and working hard to make it better…cheers and Happy Christmas.
