[…] Pendle Borough Council has the highest rate in the UK of residents who cannot speak English well or at all.
Census figures showed that 10.5 per cent of over-3s in Leicester couldn’t speak English well or at all – the highest rate in the country.
Similarly high rates were recorded in the London boroughs of Newham (9.4%), Brent (8.5%) and Haringey (8.2%).Yet this analysis, covering every council in England and Wales, included everyone brought up speaking our mother tongue. When looking solely at populations whose main language wasn’t English, Pendle topped the table.
Almost 38 per cent of that specific group of over-3s in the Lancashire borough spoke little to no English – and the vast majority of those people live in Nelson.
