Red Flags
Attended 1 of 2 Licensing Act Committee meetings (50%), below the 60% threshold.
Won with a majority of just 65 votes (4.2%), making this one of Cornwall's most marginal seats.
Election History
Councillor Damon Dennis retained Launceston South with a 65‑vote majority (4.2% of the total) over Independent John Conway, on a turnout of only 6.44%. A swing of roughly 2.1% of the electorate would be sufficient to overturn the result, and the narrow margin combined with the low turnout suggests the seat remains relatively vulnerable despite the Liberal Democrat’s overall 5.3‑point gain in Cornwall. The vulnerability score of 67 / 100 reflects this modest but notable risk.
