Jaywick: "Give us anti-recession cash"
5:35pm Monday 5th January 2009
THE chairman of Tendring Council is calling on the Government to pump £50 million into Jaywick.
The call come after Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced an "anti-recession" plan to create 100,000 new jobs to offset unemployment.
Mr Brown said he will bring forward £10 billion of planned public works such as school and hospital repairs, environmental projects, IT schemes and infrastructure works.
Tendring Council chairman Roy Smith and Kevin Watson, who represents the Golf Green ward, have written to the Prime Minister calling on him to use the opportunity to regenerate the deprived area.
“This would be a great way to get work done in Jaywick - the most deprived ward in the east of England,” said Mr Smith.
“The regeneration of Jaywick has been mismanaged by successive Governments.
“What I would like to see is about £50 million spent in Brooklands and the surrounding area.
“We need new roads, drainage and better street lighting.
“It really is disgraceful that in 2009 we still have communities struggling like - the people who live here pay as much tax as people in more affluent areas but have been neglected for 40 years.”
Mr Smith said an investment in roads, footpaths, sewers and street lighting would improve residents’ quality of life.
Mr Brown’s anti-recession plan was greeted with scepticism by the Conservatives, who said the figure of 100,000 jobs had been “plucked from thin air”.
Mr Brown said he hoped the plans would mirror America’s New Deal response to the Great Depression which tackled downturns by building roads, bridges and railways.

Cllr Smith had imput into that too.
£50 million is a nice round figure to spend in jaywick and its areas.
Its normal amount is also nice and round.
£0.!

WE know what it is worth now, but a lot more for building land.
seems we "need" posts of the same retoric though.
New year, new outlook,
same old crazyone posts.
some things never change.!

proof you can rely on,
or is it just hearsay.
On the otherhand, through the gazette, your detailed estimated cost projections that would cover relocation of owner occupiers, some properties being in the sub 5 year old group,
some residents having been living in one place in excess of 28years,
your costings to relocate these residents, with referance to compulsory purchase and compensation procedures in accordance with booklets published by the office of the deputy prime minister Oct 2004 (or newer)
i suggest crazyone, you sit and read some of the content of these official booklets either the hard way or online, you will find the amount of compansationary payments all add to the final totals for those residents in occupation, are a lot more than you own estimates could ever be.
As you persist in your glee of "razing to the ground" statements and ideals of "your" thoughts on the future of jaywick, i assume you are on at least one of the hard working regeneration teams employed by your council, being Tendring District Council, regeneration department, or even a higher entity, being on the regeneration teams of ECC, E E D A or GO-East teams.
Unless of course, you know very - very little, in which case, your detailed monetarist ideals will soon be available to us all then.
Thank you for your time, i think they would really appreciate it.

I thought the record was of saying "raize it to the ground"
I noted your normal spelling aswell.
Another thing i seem to recall was of someone you mentioned of "taking him out"
Have they, and what did you mean in that context.
Crazyone, as you have succesfully gone away yet another time from the story you comment on, at what point in the comments section have actually replied to my questions for a change.re:-
".How many of the shacks standing on the "Badlands"
Still waiting crazyone!

i overlooked this first statement of yours;-
"I think our ideas are a lot better than seeing £m's spent on putting all these new roads etc"
You know that to me is such a marvelous statement you have made.
It clearly suggests that you have a controlling interest in the welfare of the whole of Jaywicks residents, bar non.
Also do we detect you also have interest of a monetry kind to be gained from Jaywicks asperational regeneration prospects, or just like to stand outside shouting a lot about it as usual...
Still waiting crazyone..

The readers of these "your say comments" must wonder what your part you play in the asperations of brooklands regeneration, as you are constant with your comments on such.
For your records,
broadband (albeit transmitted via the national telephone network)actualy passes the 3 jays pub all the way to the splendedly refurbished Martello Tower,
along with adequate electricity supplies, and more than adequate mains water & sewerage services, having done so for many years.
The fact that the local areas overworked sewerage waste systematic failures were at that point being close to our Chair of TDC`s home address, starting at that point in west road, a new main was reciently laid all the way to the treatment plant compound located somewhere to the rear of Jaywicks Tudors estate, curcumnavigating a circular ark that ran close to Rush Greens amenity tip.

Similar "plans" were made for areas of Liverpool in the last few years. Needless to say this went down like a lead balloon, much the same way as Jaywick residents feel about this.
After protracted legal battles the European Court of Human Rights finally ruled that residents had a right to life and the Government sponsored redevelopment agency had no right to put the area's regeneration over the rights of the community to exist and continuing to exist.
This ruling has now been validited in the UK courts with the landowner fighting and winning a case against English Hertigage who were happy to see his house fall into the sea.
There can be no en-mass compulsory purchase of Jaywick. There are no legal grounds to do so. Move the debate on!

Some have said where is the money going to come from? well this could be the chance for change or would the residents turn their backs on the money? We do not want posts full of previous meetings etc, as some of them where years ago and times have changed.
