Following the story about the isolated London suburb of Barking Riverside, where the locals celebrated the recent opening of a Morrisons local, we’d like you to share your photos and stories of other suburbs from around the world that are suffering from remoteness.

Do you live in a suburb that has similar isolation issues? Has it helped forge a sense of togetherness among the people who live there, or are most of the inhabitants desperate to move away? Whether it struggles from a lack of reliable transport links, unsafe roads or a shortage of necessary public amenities, share your photos and stories of the most isolated suburbs with us. We’ll feature the best of them on the site.

You can share your isolated suburb photographs by clicking on the ‘Contribute’ button on this article. You can also use the GuardianWitness smartphone app or the Guardian app and search for ‘GuardianWitness assignments’.
