Clacton On Sea - My grandparents moved there 15 years ago so I visit a few times a year, I've seen the town sadly decline in recent years, the decline seems to have accelorated over the past 2 years however. Crime and drugs seem rife, myself, my partner and young son used to stop in the Travelodge but our last two visits were less than pleasent, dealers openly doing business on the road outside, vagrants sleeoping in the enterance and a distinct smell of weed through the hotel. We now stop in the Premier Inn on the sea front which is worlds apart from the Travelodge.
Rhyl - The less said the better.
I need to defend Skegness though, we had a weekend there 12 months ago and found it nice enough. Ingoldmells, just down the road, however, is rough, Fantasy Island Market made me feel uncomfortable to walk around, chavs everywhere and questionable characters running market stalls selling even more questionable goods...
