Migrant city's cry for help - Page 2

The migrant issue in Peterborough started a long time ago, certain areas of the city became mini "countries" where pockets of nationalities would gravitate to. It's impact on education and healthcare also started a long time ago and the infrastructure has struggled to cope under the increasing burden and has on numerous occasions failed because of it.
The problem has never been addressed and has been magnifying year on year, 20 years ago it was a situation that could be managed but now it is far from sustainable. Employment prospects are poor (they were never good to begin with but now they are appalling unless you are happy to accept minimum wage and even then the odds are against you) and the housing/ healthcare/ education services are all sinking under the burden they are having to deal with.
People who have lived and worked in Peterborough all their lives are now facing the prospect of struggling to even have their voices heard let alone listened to and acted upon and this is a scenario which is being repeated in numerous cities around the UK and will continue to be repeated until the immigration situation is looked at, understood, managed and supported fully so that the local populous can return to seeing immigration as a more positive thing instead of a destructive and crippling force.

This is obviously a party political issue. As per instructions in this announcement, please do not open threads like this during the general election campaign. All political debate should be happening in the official General Election thread.
