Councillor Julie Cunningham was re‑elected in St Mewan & Grampound with a 20‑vote majority, representing a 1.04 % margin over the Conservative runner‑up and requiring only a 0.52 % swing to lose the seat. The margin has narrowed by 5.7 percentage points compared with the previous election, and the division’s vulnerability score of 64 out of 100 places it in the “competitive” range. Across Cornwall, Reform UK’s vote share rose by 29.0 percentage points, but the tight local result suggests the seat remains highly contestable.
