The future Conservative MPs who have already represented their consituents as a local councillor

Here is the latest in a series of lists categorising some of those standing as candidates in seats which are either notionally Conservative or appear on paper in the top 200 target seats for the Conservatives at the next election.

No fewer than 51 candidates currently represent (or have previously represented) part of their constituency on their local council (at a district/borough/county level). 

We previously published a separate list of council leaders in the likely next intake of MPs

NB This is discounting a further ten or so who have represented an area very close by and others who have served on town or parish councils.
