On 11 February 2020 Dore announced that she would not contest her seat at the upcoming local elections in May, and would stand down as leader of the council. However, following the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in the UK, and the subsequent postponing of the elections until 2021, Dore stated that she would remain as Leader during this "difficult period".
