Sister Cities

Click here for list of Poland's Sister Cities - Where is Lake Worth?

Click here to read about Southend-on-Sea, UK - currently  on the itinerary of our District #4 Commissioner Mulevehill.  An excerpt:

Southend Borough Council was criticised as one of the worst financially managed local authorities in England by the Audit Commission report for 2006/7 one of three to gain only one of four stars, the others being Liverpool and the Isles of Scilly. Areas of criticism were the use of consultants and the spending of £3.5 million on taxis during the 2006/7 financial year.[3]


And this on its economic condition:

Southend, with its forlorn, empty 1960s office blocks, shopping centres and amusement arcades, appears an unlikely destination for hip, creative types. Yet the Essex town's aspiration is to become the creative capital of the East of England and Pecha Kucha is only one way it is trying to make a name for itself.


Perhaps Lake Worth does have something in common with Southend-on-Sea.
