He said he would concentrate on local matters and and not wider global “geopolitics”.
That would include starting a campaign for a new hospital in Wigan as the current one “isn’t fit for purpose” and stopping plans for a housing development on green belt land, as well as houses of multiple occupation “putting strains on resources”.
When asked about how he would fund the hospital, he replied saying how money “can be found when needed”, citing money spent on hotels accommodating asylum seekers “costing over £2bn a year”.
On the subject of immigration, Kenyon said he believed in “sensible immigration”.
He said: “So if anybody is coming in to the country they are very welcome to come but we need you to offer us something basically.”
He said people in the area could relate to him because “I am one of them”.
“I go to the same shops, kids go to the same schools, same football teams, I walk the same streets and go to the same pubs,” he said.
