Do many roads get named (without fanfare) after serving or former
local councillors? A member of my family is convinced that is the
case, without being able to produce any evidence to support this.


Quite a few in fact.

Will there one day be a Rosenstiel Mews in Cambridge?


Logically yes because my wife was also a councillor for 26 years until
she retired in May, but no chance in practice. People won't be able to
spell or pronounce it.
