Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on the migration of people from Eastern Europe and the new EU countries. It is now recognised that local authorities need to understand the composition and needs of their local population in order to be able to plan and deliver services effectively, as well as being able to respond to any issues relating to community cohesion. Consequently, some local authorities are making efforts to find out about the experiences and needs of these new and emerging communities. This research was commissioned by Oldham Housing Investment Partnership, Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council, Oldham Rochdale Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder and Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council in January 2008 and was conducted by a team of researchers from the Salford Housing & Urban Studies Unit (SHUSU) at the University of Salford. The study was greatly aided by research support from a number of Community Interviewers and was managed by a Steering Group composed of officers representing the commissioning authorities.
