The Jaywick Sands Place Plan outlines immediate improvements, described as “quick wins,” to kickstart the transformation.
These include making Brooklands a one-way street to ease traffic, improving beach access, and upgrading parks, playgrounds, and bus stops.
Housing is another major focus. The plan aims to rejuvenate unused plots, upgrade existing homes, and address long-standing housing issues, reported.

Of the £126 million budget, £108 million will be used to build stronger flood defences to safeguard the community from rising sea levels and erosion.
“The plans are not something we can deliver alone, either in terms of cost or powers – but it is a document we can take to public and private investors,” Mr Baker added.

The project is set to be completed by 2044.
