Handforth South Ward
• Ian Clark, Independent - 540 votes
• Victor Moran, Improving Handforth - 346 votes
• Brian Tolver, Independent - 486 votes
Therefore Ian Clark and Brian Tolver have been elected.
The turnout was 68.97% and 37 votes were rejected.

• Kerry Burgess, Independent and Protect Greenbelt
• Matthew Clark, Independent
• Kerry Sullivan, Improving Handforth
