BBC News: Essex village used in 'appalling' Trump candidate advert
"A United States congressional candidate has used a picture of a British seaside village to show what could happen if voters do not back President Trump.
An advert used an image of Jaywick Sands, near Clacton in Essex, to attack Nick Stella's Democrat opponent.
The campaign picture, which showed an unpaved road and rundown homes, said: "Help President Trump keep America on track and thriving."
It has received angry criticism from locals and Tendring District Council...
Jaywick was the most deprived neighbourhood in England in 2010 and 2015, according to the government's deprivation index.
Since then Essex County Council has completed a £6.5m programme to improve the roads and drainage.
Paul Honeywood, Tendring District Council Cabinet Member with special responsibility for Jaywick, said it was appalling to use the old image for political gain and said the village was on the up."
