Election History
Councillor Roger Tarrant was elected with 659 votes, giving him a majority of 344 votes (25.05%) over the second‑placed Labour candidate in a ward with a 7.28% turnout. A swing of about 12.5% of the vote would be required to unseat him, and his vulnerability score of 46 / 100 classifies the seat as competitive. Although Reform UK’s vote share in Cornwall increased by 29 percentage points, the small electorate and low turnout mean the current margin could be overturned by a modest shift in voter support.
