Won by 20 votes (1.0%)0.5% swing needed to unseat
The councillor's majority of just 20 votes (1.04%) makes them highly vulnerable, as a swing of only 0.52% would be needed to lose the seat. Turnout remained low at 41.53%, and the increase from two candidates in the previous election to four in 2025 likely fragmented the vote, contributing to the tight margin.
