Derby 'needs more cash to pay for migrants'

The Normanton-based Job Education Training centre has seen a near-200% rise in visitors, most of them from Eastern Europe, over the course of a year.

THE Government should give Derby more cash to cover the cost of European migrants coming to the city, claim city council officials.

The authority now plans to "actively and persuasively" lobby Whitehall for the money to help create better housing and more school places
Officials will also "open dialogue with Brussels" as they say Roma people often flee Eastern Europe to the UK because they suffer racist persecution and want to know why the European Union is not doing more to stop the problem.

And leading city councillor Ranjit Banwait said it was important to improve liaison with migrants already in the city.
