Slough's 'sheds with beds'
BBC Panorama: Immigration: How we lost count
Mind boggling programme from the BBC highlighting the rapidly rising population of slough that the government says is falling. 3 Bed Terraced houses with 21 people in them, double glazed brick 'sheds' with all mod cons, bins full 24 hours after emptying, council services failing to cope with BTL inspections backlog that will take 20 years to clear, this is home-counties Slough in 2007.

I am sorry Enuii, but under labour government laws, to even suggest that we have too many immigrants is racist. So keep your opinions to yourself while the rest of the us sing "the more the merrier", or else!

An amazing programme - the brick 'sheds' in the gardens of terraces - where even more immigrants live was the most shocking - talk about shanty town Slough!
So this is what's been propping up the landlord's cashflow!?
Scary scary stuff.

What? I thought all these immigrants had bought a 3-bedroom semi each. If the immirants are all crammed into that shed, then who has been bidding up the prices of our houses?

21 people x £50/week = 1,050/week -> 4,515/month. Does it make BTL profitable? Just joking :D

There are whole streets and whole areas in Slough with these 'sheds with beds'.
A streets near me has them in almost every garden! You can also clearly see some of them on Google Earth.
