The area is composed of three wards, each represented by three councillors. Each ward is also a Middle Layer Super Output Area (MSOA). As of the 2019 Ipswich Borough Council election, the councillors are as follows:[2]

The area is also covered by a Neighbourhood Watch network which comprises 35 neighbourhood watch schemes.[6]
