Mark Gibbons
Election History
Councillor Mark Gibbons was re‑elected with 752 votes, giving him a majority of 259 votes (13.41% of the total) over the second‑placed Reform UK candidate. A swing of roughly 6.7% of the electorate would be required to overturn his margin, and his share of the vote has fallen as part of a 3.8‑point decline for Independents across Cornwall, with the margin narrowing by 45.9 percentage points since the previous election. The vulnerability score of 75 out of 100 reflects a relatively high risk of losing the seat in the next contest.
