SO Andy Burnham has admitted that the main thing people want to talk to him about is immigration.

Sadly this is a massive problem in Leigh. As a high proportion of the gangs that terrorise the Leigh west area originate from Eastern Europe, mainly from the Roma Communities of Romania and Slovenia.

In my opinion Mr Burnham, Leigh is a small town with no infrastructure to cope with large scale immigration.

I personally have had problems with gangs.

In my opinion the police and our Labour-run council are turning a blind eye to the problems that immigration is causing to Leigh.

I have been to meetings at the town hall with the police, Andy Burnham and various Labour councillors in attendance, and believe me this hot topic will simply not be discussed.

This Labour trait not to listen to the people’s concerns over immigration is dangerous and in my opinion storing up problems for future generations, just ask the good people of Rotherham and Rochdale.
