- There were six councillors prior to the election who had been elected as It's Our County candidates, but all sat in the "Independents for Herefordshire" group. Of those six, three stood again for It's Our County in 2023 (Dave Boulter, Liz Harvey and David Summers), two stood as independent candidates (Elizabeth Foxton and John Harrington), and one did not stand for re-election (Tracy Bowes).
