Good bye to Shanty Town

Secure gates prevent access to derelict garages off Ceylon Road

I have received an email as follows:

Apologies for the delay in notifying you but I spoke with the Solicitors acting on behalf of the overseas owners a couple of weeks ago and they advised that steel gates were due to be erected.

These have now been installed (thanks PCSO Jones for the photo’s) and engagement and support were offered to the remaining two individuals who took up assistance.

I hope that this is now a resolution to the problems being experienced in this location.

This ‘Shanty Town’ was the place I described in Our correspondent in Shanty Town. These derelict garages were accessed by alleyways off Ceylon Road and London Road in Westcliff-on-Sea.
