About

St John's ward is a residential area within the town of Clacton-on-Sea, characterised by its quiet streets and local amenities. The layout primarily consists of post-war housing, including terraced homes and bungalows, serving a settled community. Green spaces like the King George V playing fields provide recreational space for sports and leisure. The ward functions as a practical neighbourhood with essential shops and services concentrated along St John's Road, meeting daily needs.

The area is defined by its proximity to the North Sea coastline, with the promenade and beach accessible from its eastern edges. A notable local landmark is the former St John's Church Hall, a community hub for various groups and events. Transport links include regular bus services connecting residents to Clacton town centre and the railway station. The overall atmosphere is one of a self-contained suburban ward, distinct from the more commercial tourist centre of the resort.
