Nihal - 25/01/2011

Naresh Puri sits in for Nihal. Have immigrants changed your community for better or for worse? What is the situation like where you live? Do you feel the community tends to be more integrated. Do you feel comfortable in areas where there are groups of immigrant communities? As part of our special Coming to Britain week, we're taking a deeper look at how immigration affects our communities. When you're walking down Southall Broadway or Soho road, do you feel like a stranger in your own community? Or has your area been enriched because of the different cultures and mix of people who've come to live there..the new restaurants, bakeries, beauty parlours all being run by new immigrants . After 2 Suresh Grover from The Monitoring Group speaks to Naresh about his own immigration story. Plus playwright Kamleish Parfect will be here talking about her production that spans across 70 years and 5 generations. It's based on the experiences of women who came to Britain. Tell us how you came to Britain. All this week we'll be looking at immigration past, present and the future so get in touch with your stories.
