Our election special on immigration comes from Boston in Lincolnshire, in the heart of the UK horticulture industry.
Boston had the strongest 'leave' vote in the country in the referendum, with 75.6% of voters in favour of leaving the EU. We often hear from farmers worried about a lack of migrant workers, but here in Boston concerns are focused on an influx of migrants putting pressure on local schools and hospitals. The population has gone from 10% non-British a decade ago to 31% by last year - across England the equivalent figures went from 8-10% in the same time.

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
