Contractors have been appointed to demolish two derelict properties in Jaywick Sands.
Clarke Demolition Company Ltd has been tasked with removing the former Low Tide Café in Tamarisk Way, and 36 Sea Way.
Tendring District Council (TDC) acquired the sites in January this year with plans to demolish them as part of the authority’s ongoing strategy to rejuvenate the area.
The contractors Clarke Demolition Company Ltd were appointed following a tender exercise, and the works will cost around £23,000.
Demolition will begin as soon as service disconnections can be completed and is expected to take about a week.
Paul Honeywood, TDC Cabinet Member with Special Responsibility for Jaywick Sands, said the work would improve the community environment.
“These properties have been empty for some time now, and rather than let them become eyesores we are taking positive action to clear them,” Paul said.
“Not only do these neighbour new homes built by us, but the cleared plots will then be available for future regenerative work.”
TDC has built ten new homes next to the site to be demolished through its commitment to improve housing quality in Jaywick Sands, while work is underway nearby on a new managed workspace business units and covered market facility with community amenities.
