A pro-Trump politician said he did not intend to smear a seaside village in Essex after using an old photo of the deprived neighbourhood to warn people about voting for the Democrats. A bleak picture of Jaywick Sands showing unpaved roads and dilapidated homes was posted to the Facebook page of Republican Nick Stella, who is running for Congress in Illinois. It was accompanied by the message: ‘Only you can stop this from becoming reality’, however the page now appears to be deleted from the social network site. Republican Nick Stella used an old picture of Jaywick Sands in Essex as a perfect example of an American community in decline Residents of the seaside village are furious after being smeared by the American candidate (Picture: Getty) Spokeswoman Raquel Mitchell said in a statement: ‘Our intent was never to smear the town in the photo, now known to us as Jaywick Sands in Essex. ‘We never used the name. For us it was an example of a town overburdened by poor governance, which is exactly what we in our district are seeking to prevent at every level.’ The image attacks Mr Stella’s Democrat opponent ahead of the midterm elections next week, and also had a caption reading: ‘Help President Trump keep America on Track and Thriving. ‘We can’t go back to foreclosures, unemployment and economic recession!’ The faded seaside village of Jaywick Sands, near Clacton-on-Sea with a population of around 5,000, was the most deprived neighbourhood in England in 2015, according to a Government report. Nick Stella is standing for Congress in the midterm elections, but appears to have taken down his FB page Jaywick Sands was the most deprived neighbourhood in England in 2015 (Picture: Getty) The flood-prone town was reported to have chronic levels of unemployment, high levels of crime and poor educational attainment. But Jaywick councillor Kevin Watson revealed the image used in the campaign advert, from the Brooklands area of the town, was an old one. He said: ‘All the roads down there have been tarmaced, there’s now fantastic drainage, people are taking pride in their area. ‘Things are looking very good in Jaywick, probably the best since it was a holiday destination. ‘I’m sure there are quite a few places in America that are just as bad.’ The seaside town is prone to flooding (Picture: Getty) Jaywick Sands was reported to have chronic levels of unemployment and high levels of crime (Picture: Getty) Penelope Read, who made a documentary called Jaywick: A Diamond In The Rough, in 2016, said she was angry the image was used. The 70-year-old, from Clacton-on-Sea, said: ‘I’m angry at the injustice. I love Jaywick and I don’t think foreign people should be using our village as a political tool. How dare they?’ Ms Mitchell added: ‘Leadership matters, and there’s proof all around the world that with the right people in place, conditions can improve. And I’m glad that Jaywick Sands now shares a similar success story.’ More: News My white poppy doesn’t mean I’m against remembrance, it means I am committed to peace Neil Lennon calls out fan who hit him with coin during Hearts vs Hibernian ‘Rundown’ Essex village used as dire warning in pro-Trump election ad Businessman Frank Stedman bought lots of land in the area in the late 1920s and built temporary holiday homes which were used for cheap trips by London’s East Enders through the 1930s.
