Background

Mark Hadfield is a Plymouth City councillor for St Budeaux and vice-chair of the council's audit and governance committee. On Plymouth's published list of members he now appears under Restore Britain.

Plymouth's Reform group had already lost Carol Ney, WHO resigned from the party on 7 August.

Voters first returned him as a Reform UK councillor on 7 May 2026. In September 2026 he and Andrew Crumplin left Reform for Restore Britain, according to Mark Pack's running list of councillor departures, which cites the Plymouth Herald.

The two Plymouth moves were half of the four Reform-to-Restore defections Pack recorded that month; the others were Andrew Southall in Dudley and Michael Rees in Gloucestershire.
