Jaywick is a seaside village in the Tendring district of Essex, England, west of Clacton-on-Sea. It lies on the North Sea coast of England, from London and from Colchester. It was constructed in the 1930s as a holiday resort for Londoners, but over time has become one of the most deprived areas in the country. The land was originally a combination of fields and salt marshes, and was generally impractical for agricultural use. It was purchased by the entrepreneur Frank Stedman in 1928 to provide low cost and affordable holiday homes to working-class families, and became a popular holiday destination throughout the 1930s. After the Second World War, a shortage of housing meant the properties gradually became permanently inhabited despite being unsuitable for this purpose. The local community resisted demolition of the worst estates, and the government tightly controlled building regulations in the village while attempting to rehouse residents elsewhere. Many of the holiday homes were never designed for long-term residence and are now in a state of disrepair. According to the Indices of deprivation 2010 and subsequent reports, part of the village is the most deprived area in England. Jaywick has significant problems with unemployment and a risk of flooding, despite several attempts by the local council and government to transform the area. ==Location== Jaywick is in the Golf Green ward of the Tendring district of north-east Essex, around from London and southeast of Colchester.〔〔 To the east, is Clacton-on-Sea, while to the west is the estuary of the River Colne. The area is divided into the Tudor estate to the north (also known as West Clacton), the Village to the southeast and the Brooklands and Grasslands estates to the southwest.〔 Most shops are on the Broadway, the main shopping street in the village. One of the main attractions of the coastline is a 200-year-old Martello Tower, which is now an arts and heritage centre. The "46 Brooklands Gardens" artwork by Nathan Coley was erected at that location in Jaywick as a 3-month show piece. The village is part of the parliamentary constituency of Clacton. Its member of parliament, Douglas Carswell represented the Conservative Party until September 2014 when he resigned his seat to join the UK Independence Party, successfully contesting the seat in a by-election the following month. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jaywick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
