A SEASIDE town’s famous beach huts are continuing to soar in value as many residents look to once again spend their holidays closer to home. Beach hut prices in Frinton have reached record levels according to property professionals after two front row cabins sold for in excess of £45,000 each. The eye-watering figures have been attained due to people’s renewed desire to holiday in the UK in response to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding trips abroad. Some of the foreign travel restrictions, in place because of the coronavirus pandemic, could be lifted later this month according to Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

PETROLHEADS were in their element over the weekend after hordes of stunning supercars once again pulled into a seaside town. Members of the Driver’s Union impressed shoppers, locals, and day-trippers alike on Sunday when they parked up in Frinton. The endless stretch of flashy and expensive motors consisted of everything from Porches, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Audis, McLarens, and Aston Martins. Residents marvelled at the collection of speedy four-wheelers, which drove through Connaught Avenue, before parking up along the seafront. Some locals even spoke with the owners about their prized petrol-run possessions, worth as much as £100,000, if not more. Photographer Robert Smith, of Kirby Cross, attended the event and took a catalogue of spectacular pictures of the astounding supercars.
