ONLY 75 migrants from Eastern Europe have registered to work in Teesdale in the last four years, according to a new report.The figure, in a report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), is one of the lowest for any local authority area in the country.
The number refers to nationals from eight East European countries who joined the European Union in May 2004 and who registered under the Worker Registration Scheme.
Registration is a requirement for those wishing to work for an employer in the UK.
According to the report, the North East as a whole is the least popular region in the country for East European migrants.
The IPPR report also estimates that about half of the one million migrant workers who have arrived in the UK from Eastern Europe since 2004 have already left the country.
