Abuse on the high street has become the flashpoint in an outer London town\u2019s row over locally-housed migrants costing taxpayers millions.<\/a><\/p>\n

Tension was clearly high with one man having a row in the middle of the street after a group of youngsters ran into him, pushed him and shouted \u201cEnglish B*****d\u201d before bolting to a nearby shopping center.<\/p>\n

The local man, who did not give his name, chased the group of youths, confronting them in a shocking moment witnessed by the Express.<\/p>\n

Only after he threatened to contact the police did they apologise. Locals say it is a sign of tempers fraying as pressure on services in Uxbridge grows.<\/p>\n

Hillingdon Borough, where Uxbridge can be found, is carrying one of the largest migrant burdens in the country<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Local councillors say costs have soared past \u00a310million a year, and local MP David Simmonds said that Labour was \u201cdumping [migrants] at Hillingdon\u2019s door..<\/p>\n

The borough has a legal obligation to house people who present as homeless after arriving through Heathrow. The resulting workload falls on local services and taxpayers.<\/p>\n

People on the ground say community relations are suffering<\/a>. \u201cThere\u2019s no money for local services,\u201d said Mrs Kelly, 63, who has lived in Uxbridge for three decades and works four days a week on minimum wage. \u201cI\u2019d stop it all. Other services are suffering. There are too many people in this country. The last four years it\u2019s gotten much worse, too many people and not enough money. People who live and work here are not getting what they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another woman who has lived in the area for 25 years said she felt \u201creally concerned\u201d for the safety of women and children. \u201cThere has been an increase in homelessness, people sleeping on the streets,\u201d she said. \u201cThe Home Office must take on the cost for housing these illegal migrants. I\u2019ve nothing against legals, but this lot are playing the system. Soon, the bottom is going to fall out. There\u2019s a very strong feeling around here that it\u2019s wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several residents blamed funding decisions for stretching services to breaking point. John Smith, 75, said: \u201cIt\u2019s terrible. I\u2019ve no objection to them being here if they have the right to come here. But the cost should be shared across the country, not just paid by one borough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parents say they feel left behind. Rachael Craig, 41, a council-housed mother of six, said: \u201cEveryone has to be housed, but a lot of people already living here are struggling to get properties. I don\u2019t think we\u2019re looked after.\u201d Her friend, Vanessa Hampson, 33, who has three children, added: \u201cI\u2019ve been waiting six years for a house and I\u2019m still waiting. It\u2019s just a joke.\u201d<\/p>\n

Others, however, urged balance. Lidia Guernieri said: \u201cIt\u2019s nice that we are helping others. If help is needed, then help we should, but we should balance it against other needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tension remains visible. One man said it was now \u201ca struggle to hear English on the high street\u201d. He pointed to a rare foot patrol nearby after the slur incident. \u201cIt takes a week to get an appointment,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s changed in the three years I\u2019ve lived here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Abuse on the high street has become the flashpoint in an outer London town\u2019s row over locally-housed migrants…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":533600,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[172653,172651,40,172652,5804,12,16,15,172650],"class_list":{"0":"post-533599","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"category-united-kingdom","9":"tag-community-relations-issues","10":"tag-hillingdon-migrant-burden","11":"tag-immigration","12":"tag-local-services-strain","13":"tag-migrant-crisis","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-uxbridge-immigration-tensions"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115452724098828651","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=533599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/533599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/533600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=533599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=533599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=533599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
