Code of Conduct
The complainant alleged that Councillor L Rich breached the Code of Conduct by refusing planning application PA21/10429 while being a friend and associate of the objecting neighbours, suggesting bias. The council found the decision was made by an officer, not the councillor, and no close association existed, so the complaint was rejected as not a breach.
Outcome: no breach
Election History
Loic Rich was re‑elected with 1,344 votes, ahead of the second‑placed candidate by 1,094 votes (a 59.9 % majority) and would require a 29.9 % swing for an opponent to unseat him. Compared with the previous election, his vote total fell by 79 votes and the independent share in Cornwall dropped from 17.2 % to 13.4 %, resulting in a vulnerability score of 39 / 100, which suggests a likely hold.

Billionaires claim they need tax cuts to invest, yet they built their fortunes under 'high' taxes. The truth? When you're poor, you count your pennies. When you're rich, you count your loopholes. The system's rigged—and we're footing the bill. #EconomicJustice
Listening to @JimfromOldham talking about devolution & glad to hear him respond to Cllr Loic Rich that there will be special circumstances, so Cornwall should input on this basis. @CornwallCouncil is clear that the only region for Cornwall is Cornwall #LGAConf24 @LeeTrewhela
One big reason @Elon Trump, and other rich employers do not want Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz... they believe in unions, and looking after the employees. They believe in employees rights, and look after the so-called middle and little people. Elon sues them.
