Cornwall Council doesn’t publish how individual councillors vote. Its minutes record each decision, not who voted which way.
The councillor's majority increased from 31.2% to 50.7% between the last two elections, a swing of 19.5 percentage points in their favour. A swing of 25.4% would be needed to unseat them, and the 41.1% turnout was relatively low. With only three candidates in 2025 compared to four previously, the incumbent's position appears secure.
