The president of West Suffolk Conservative Association wrote to Simon Hart almost a week before the former health secretary announced he would not stand for election again because he wanted to 'do things differently'.
"This vote was brought about following feedback from the constituents in West Suffolk, advising that by virtue of recent events they consider Matt Hancock not fit to represent this constituency."
But there were other signs of a tense relationship between the MP and his local party after he announced he was standing down, with Tory Councillor Lance Stanbury saying it was"inevitable" after he had been"heavily criticised" by members. The former health secretary's local news outlet, Suffolk News, had last week reported that Newmarket Town Council was to send a letter to Mr Hancock asking him to resign following a vote.
"This decision would lead us to believe that this is the career path he would prefer to take, as a celebrity instead of fulfilling his role as Minister of Parliament for West Suffolk.
