BBC report- 5years on from the Oldham riots

BBC Five Live carried an interesting report on the situation in Oldham five years on from the race riots of May 2001. While meetings have been had and consultancies consulted the situation appears to be on tenterhooks as whites and Asians live parallel lives in the same town. Poor facilities, segregated schooling and high unemployment, poor employment opportunities and the activity of racists contributed to one of the most explosive scenes in recent history in the northwest town.


BBC Five Live broadcast a feature on the aftermath of the riots Five Years On. Go to the listen again feature on www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive and look for Worricker on Sunday 11am 7th May 2006.
