Every Lancashire County Council candidate in the Preston, South Ribble and Chorley districts at the local elections on 6th May

In 2017, the party captured 46 of the 84 seats available, with Labour taking 30, the Liberal Democrats four, independent candidates securing two and one each for the Green Party and UKIP. A political group needs to win 43 seats or more in order to secure an outright majority.
