Councillor Debra Clegg was re‑elected with 529 votes, holding a 35‑vote majority (2.05% of the vote) over Reform UK’s Myles Riley in the 2025 Falmouth Boslowick election, with turnout at 5.86%. This represents a 4.6‑percentage‑point reduction in her margin compared with the 2022 result, and only a 1.02% swing would be required for the next challenger to overturn her lead.
