“Only you can stop this from becoming reality!” warned the text on the Facebook advert over an image of a potholed street in Jaywick, the homes on either side as rundown as one might expect to find in a place that was ranked as the most deprived neighbourhood in England twice in the last decade.

However, as local people were quick to point out, the photo was taken some years ago, while a significant investment programme has seen fresh tarmac laid over once pockmarked roads and a general spruce-up to improve the look of the area on the outskirts of Clacton-on-Sea.

As for crime, while a microphone-carrying journalist accosted dogwalkers along Jaywick’s windswept seafront on Thursday, the only obvious sign was one of the broken lights on a bright green 1950s Cadillac struck the night before by a hit-and-run driver.
