"Residents representative Ted Bullock, who lives in Crossways, Jaywick, said he has received no complaints about how the cash has been spent"..
Mr Bullock has only been on the board for a few months, he cannot pass comment on the way the Board has spent or divided out Interaction Board payments from the previous 2 years.

When Mr Bullock was taken on the Board, we had at that point a real chance to place a resident from the epicentre of the boards very point of being, Jaywicks most deprived areas, but it failed in that also..

"The board's objective is to improve quality of life for residents".
YOU GOTTA BE JOKING.
OK, so ALL of Jaywicks residents all march into its resource centre to see how much money has been spent on US - its residents.

ER, i dont think so, think again.
Most of Jaywicks residents dont even go into its resouce centre, but we have steady streams from outside who do.

If you took time Mr Bullock to ask the real residents of Jaywick, and not those in the Tudors or Jaywick Lane, what we, Brooklands and Grasslands residents want, for sure it would NOT be more money spent on yet another TDC owned building, but upgrading roads, pavements. lighting, dog poo bins and other much needed provision, not extensions to TDC buildings...
Wake up, smell the coffee, Mr Bullock, it looks like yours has gone well cold ...

Whats so what mean in English.

Great inteligent responce from Mark:-
"so what"
ok, lets forget all the downtrodden things that have been promised to be put right by TDC, or one of its overly funded attached groups just because we are rated almost the lowest of low of the indexes of deprivation, along with Pier Ward (town centre).
Lets forget that Brooklands / Grasslands was the real reason TDC keeps getting grants because of this.
Lets forget that Councillor David Lyons quoted
"its not if, but when" when it comes to regeneration of both said underpriviliged wards.....so what..
Lets forget then that most of OUR regeneration budget of £3.8 million to be spent over four years from 2006 to 2010 has nearly ALL been spent....so what...
Lets forget that our Town Centre has had nearly £500,000 MORE than its equal counter part (the part that really got the money in the first place)..lets forget that bit then.

Lets sweep it under the carpet and say,

SO WHAT.........

To say so what is like asking a drunk in Town Centre, do you want another drink before you throw up into the fountain (when it works)

So what, we can all say that.....
So what when tourists find it hard to park, so what.
So what when Lifestyles gets so expensive some poorer residents cannot no longer afford to go.
So what....
So what is the most idiotic answer you have most ever said Mark, but hey, so what...

If you work it out on percentage terms jaywick has had more than its fair share over the years.I dont know if you realise where the money comes from but its our taxes,so why shouldnt that money be spent on where the majority of the people live.
As for lifestyles gym which other gym in the town gives people on income support reduced rates or people with medical conditions free usage.The people in jaywick have to get their own house in order before anymore money should be spent on it,there are probably more fridges,freezers and washing machines dumped on the road than in a currys superstore,if the people of jaywick cant look after themselves then why should we.

Nice reply but totaly wrong..
Have you ever driven round some of Clactons sink estates, like the percy king estate...
its not pretty either.
If Pier Ward, clactons premier center of our Town, which IS linked by the hip to jaywick in governments own indexes of deprivation, needs more money that was granted by central government, not TDC (they spend half a million £`s on 1 public toilet)....
The whole of Golf green as a ward is and has been targeted, by central government as a "special needs" area (the same as Pier Ward Town Center)
By doing so, central government released money via the interaction partnership management board "interact" to be divided EQUALLY between TDC`s most deprived wards.....
This has NOT been done.......fact.....

...
Your / Our new chair of your / our council @ TDC has had the pleasure of looking after the whole of Golf greens Ward, for about the last 30 years..........
WHY IS IT STILL SO BAD...
In 1995 we had the inception on what was to be the resurection of Jaywick.
the 1996 "jaywick, the chance of a lifetime"
well that chance never really went that far, did it.
we had the fiasco of the J.F.S.A. its going bust, its assets being "looked after" by a well known professional institution in Norfolk or somesuch place..
we have had Anglia in bloom comendations, and hope to better this year..
In todays N.A.P. meeting, it was agread that as an area, we are doing better..
please do not tar ALL of jaywick with the same brush, plenty of distgruntled residents will resent that...
Next time just go ask your local police force all TDC`s hotspots of crime and disorder...
i think it will suprise you and many others.
Oh and as for scrap fridges, as the price of scrap metal is sky high, go look for some anywhere, even in your backyard...

Half a million on a toilet block.

And last but not least, we have just invested £3.5M in Clacton Leisure Centre and introduced the "Lifestyles" Health and Fitness Suite. There has been other investment in the Leisure Portfolio and there is much more to achieve! You can find out more on the Leisure pages of the website.

The list of TDC`s spending just grows like pinnocios nose...
