Changes 2019–2023
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.{{cite web |url=https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/devon-councillor-leaves-tories-lurch-4166653|title=Devon councillor leaves Tories in the lurch after resigning over Cummings furore|date=26 May 2020 |publisher=Devon Live|access-date=26 June 2020}} The Conservatives regained a majority on the council in November 2021 following a by-election in the Bere Ferrers ward.{{cite news |last1=Churm |first1=Philip |title=West Devon's newest councillor |url=https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/plymouth-news/west-devons-newest-councillor-hopes-6322844 |access-date=29 July 2022 |work=Plymouth Live |date=12 December 2021}}
