• The Best thing on Canvey is the Swimming Club. They are winners of the Division two Speedo League, runners up in Division two Junior Speedo League, being promoted to Division One in both next year.

• I have lived on the Island for almost 31 years, (and my husband for 62 years) we have always found it a good place to live, the people are friendly and welcoming. I think it is nice to be able to go to the town and always see someone you know to pass the time of day with. There is a feeling of community about the Island. Unlike what has been said previously Kings Park is improving all the time and the units over there now are beautiful. Lets face it it's the people that make a place and thats why Canvey is a good place to live that speaks for itself with the amount of people wanting to buy property on the Island. The very best thing of all is that all the nasty foul mouthed judgemental people don't stay here they move off,leaving good people to enjoy living in in a happy community.
