Certain parts of England have twice as many immigrants as previously thought, revised figures have suggested.

There are three times more foreigners in one part of Lincolnshire than previously estimated, while areas in Herefordshire and London have twice as many immigrants.

Revised figures from the Office of National Statistics, published this week by the Greater London Authority, have increased the population of London by 130,000, while its immigrant community has gone up by 16 per cent to nearly 950,000.

The ONS currently measure the number of immigrants in Britain through voluntary questionnaires filled out at airports and ports

In Boston, Lincolnshire, new statistics show that the number of immigrants in the past five years has trebled to 7,500.

While some areas have increased their foreign community as a result of the methodology change, other council areas have seen the number reduced by as much as half.

Cambridge, Norwich and Durham all saw their immigrant community numbers reduced.

The number of foreigners coming to live, study or work in Britain is currently based on a questionnaire which is filled in at airports and ports, while detailed estimates of where new arrivals settle have been calculated in different ways.

The methodology employed by the ONS
sees migrants separated into ‘streams’, depending on their age and
employment status, and their movements are followed using education,
welfare and health registers.

London immigrant population

The revised totals, as published by the GLA, have highlighted an apparent shift in the spread of immigrants across the capital

In Newham, east London, there was a 102 per cent rise in the number of immigrants, while Herefordshire (180 per cent) and Aylesbury Vale (104 per cent), also recorded sharp rises.

Overall, the estimated number of immigrants arriving for more than 12 months between 2006 and 2010 decreased by 0.4 per cent, to just over 2.5million, under the new system.

Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migration Watch UK, told the Telegraph: ‘The impact of immigration on London has been revised up by 130,000 to very nearly one million in just five years.

‘This is a measure of the huge churn in our population as a result of mass immigration which has serious consequences for our schools, housing and health services.’

The revised ONS figures have not been officially adopted by the Government and have not yet affected local funding levels, partly because more reliable population data will soon be available from the recent census.

Don’t know where that figure for Boston of 7500 has come from…I assure you that is more than twice that!!!

We do need to vote at the election away from Lab/Lib/Con and I would very much like to vote UKIP. However, at present they do not have one single MP and at the last election were even unable to unseat the ghastly John Bercow. They are going to have to move incredibly quickly if they are going to make any inroads at the next election. For the love of all that is holy please don’t let us have another Labour Government.

Mark, let them go now and free up jobs and housing

Just goes to show, they haven’t a clue how many immigrants there are in the UK, legal or illegal, what’s more, they (the government) don’t care, and have no intension of stopping, or reversing it. You have to vote UKIP people, or as well as all the other problems we face, we’ll be overrun with immigration, and of the worst kind. VOTE UKIP!

A group of homeless and jobless ‘eastern europeans’ (many are probably not from genuine EU countries) are squatting in a burned out pub in my London borough. Nothing has been done to remove them from the country but one ‘do-gooder’ actually suggested they should be housed!

“Also, many of these migrants will not be here in the next 20 years as most plan to return home. Just get over it.
– Mark Jones, Leeds,UK, 28/6/2012 13:29″…………..oh please, don’t get my hopes up lest I be deeply disappointed.

The government will only start to do something about it when it is their family being brutalised by immigrants and new immigrants moving next door to them making their area a third world skip instead of the working classes.

Just found out what we knew all along..

It is ridiculous to open the door to people who cannot speak the language, have not got a job and do not come with means! It will only impoverish the country and fragment it, especially when some people still think they should let some faith teacher to ‘beat’ some sense into their own children or marriages between relatives are better. Some eastern Europeans are here with young children, speaking in their own languages. Imagine the strain on primary schools… Some already deported criminals even come back again to commit more crimes… Why are the successive governments so inept in regards to immigrants!?
