Robin Musgrave was the winning Independent candidate in 2015.
Neil Jory was an incumbent councillor for Tavistock North ward.
Louise Watts was an incumbent councillor for the Exbourne ward.
Chris Edmonds was the winning Independent candidate in 2015. The change in his share of the vote is shown from his result in 2015, rather than the Conservative candidate's.
In 2020, Cllr Mike Davies left the Conservatives to sit as an independent over the Conservative Government's handling of the Dominic Cummings breaking of lockdown rules during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then a separate independent, Cllr Robin Musgrave has joined the Liberal Democrats. The net result was to leave the number of independents unchanged, the number of Conservatives down one and Liberal Democrats up one, thus denying the Conservatives an overall majority.[3] The Conservatives regained a majority on the council in November 2021 following a by-election in the Bere Ferrers ward.[4]
