How to make friends on 'Brexit Street'

PM

Available for over a year

The majority of the North East of England voted to leave the EU in the June referendum. Over a year, PM is following residents of one street, nick-named Brexit Street, in Thornaby on Tees, near Middlesbrough. The street has a high number of resident asylum seekers, and they have said how isolated they feel living there. Reporter Emma Jane Kirby caught up with two of them who are trying new ways to integrate: Javad from Iran, through the local Baptist church, and Xavier from Cameroon, on the football pitch.
