Overcrowded.

From: David Cook, Parkside Close, Cottingham, East Yorkshire. YORKS POST.
I AM writing regarding the thorny issue of immigration, which seems to cause so much controversy – but why should it?

The roads are overcrowded across the country and train fares seem to be geared to keeping as many people as possible away from railways.

Hospitals are struggling to cope with ever increasing numbers of patients.

There is a serious lack of affordable housing – especially for first-time buyers. With increased population the situation can only get worse.

We need fewer, rather than more people, both from the EU and the rest of the world. Unemployment shows a constant high. Where skills shortages exist why not train our own people?

We are a tiny island totally unable to absorb the numbers that would love to live here. There is more to life than creating wealth.

I have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t think we need to have some control over our borders and upon the numbers coming into this country.
