Here's a comment from someone a nine year old article of mine about Southend-on-Sea in the UK:
"Its nearly 9 years now since your article and yet nearly all your comments remain as relevant as if you had visited last week. However bad the initial schemes may or may not be, the town, now a city, has done absolutely nothing to develop cycling over the last decade. No problems have been sorted, no junctions improved, no changes to the permeability of cycling in the pedestrian areas. In addition one of the effects of Covid has been a collapse in the service levels of the already poor and overpriced public transport offering. All in all Southend will remain a clogged up car based place for many years, probably decades, to come yet. No politicians are trying to do anything useful to reduce car dependency in the town. The waffle and websites will continue to "encourage" cycling and public transport use, but nothing real will ever be provided. I fear UK is slipping further and further behind best practice despite all the hightened modern concerns about global warming, safety and land use that makes the most out of the town. What a waste!"

Vero a new social media app I have tried marked My picture taken in Southend as taken in Nottinghill. Seem no way to correct it.
I will wait and see if it survives out of beta
