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”.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n
