WORKING APPLICATION

1. All the developed functionalities work as intended in localhost(https://caviar-chess-3000.codio-box.uk/)
2. In Heroku deployed site, all the pages except locations page work as intended

These are the parts that are not working correctly

• The locations page in the Heroku does not work properly because of a pagination error: postgreSQL database does not support the pagination method we implemented. As a result, the page is not shown when the user clicks on the location button in the navigation bar. However, you can see the locations page through this link http://fierce-anchorage-39379.herokuapp.com/locations?page=1 and the page numbers can be manually changed in the url to view all the locations page.

Other points to note:

• the pages for each major regions such as Scotland, England, etc work well).
• The graphs in the show page are not shown when the values in the tables are zero.
