Rishi Sunak was elected with a whopping majority of 19,550 and more than 50% of the vote. Meanwhile the Conservatives took control of Richmondshire District Council with 21 of the 34 seats and on Hambleton Conservatives were elected to all but one of the 28 seats.Our thanks go to all those members and volunteers who went out knocking on doors or delivering leaflets or spend time in the office making calls or stuffing envelopes.
