Hang on, who's demanding changes to lifestyle, laws and customs? Yes, places like Burnley have a large ethnic population, but why is this a problem? Anybody who lives in this country is expected to adhere to British law, regardless of their cultural background.
The reason places like your examples have signs in Urdu (amongst others) is because they are needed - if someone comes to this country seeking political asylum for example, they aren't necessarily going to have hung around to learn English before they came, now are they?
