A report on immigration in the east, and a visit to Northampton - which saw its population swell dramatically with the expansion of the EU in 2004 - take a fresh look at the town.
Inside Out with a special report on immigration in the east with exclusive access to the latest and most detailed analysis on migration in England. Northampton saw its population swell dramatically with the expansion of the EU in 2004 - it came to public attention when a national newspaper asked why a big sandwich-maker was recruiting workers from Hungary. We take a fresh look at the town through the eyes of a recent immigrant worker. And we reveal why the east has such patchy mobile phone coverage, and show how one village is setting up a mini network so everybody who lives there will get a signal.

Mobile phone 'not spots'
While some people can download entire movies to their mobile telephones in seconds, there are others who can neither make a call nor send a text.聽
These are the inhabitants of so-called 'not spots'. So is silence still golden in the information age?
Migrant population
The migrant population of England has risen by 565,000 since 2011, with two-thirds coming from the EU, analysis by the University of Oxford estimates.
The figures suggest the foreign-born population of every local authority in the country may have risen.
The Migration Observatory unit says it came up with the projections because similar official data will not be available before the general election.
