Conservatives set to choose election candidates
North Shropshire's Conservatives will meet this weekend to choose their candidate to contest the next general election.
The constituency had always been held by the Tories up until the 2021 by-election where the Liberal Democrat Helen Morgan achieved a shock victory, hitting national headlines as Boris Johnson's government descended into crisis.
The North Shropshire Conservative Association is now set to meet on Saturday to choose a candidate who will be tasked with restoring the blue hold over the constituency.
It is understood the membership will be given a choice of two candidates – Shropshire Councillor Dean Carroll, and Clwyd South MP, Simon Baynes.
Councillor Carroll is a long-standing Shropshire Council cabinet member, currently with responsibility for the Housing and Assets portfolio.
