Cornwall Council doesn’t publish how individual councillors vote. Its minutes record each decision, not who voted which way.
The councillor's majority of 516 votes (18.05%) in the 2025 election represents a 15.9 percentage point widening from the previous contest, placing her in a competitive position with a swing of 9.02% needed for defeat. While the increased margin suggests strengthened local support, the relatively modest absolute majority and a turnout of 50.57% mean the seat could become more vulnerable if the number of candidates decreases or voter engagement shifts significantly in a future election.
