The suburb was covered by the Lexden ward and elected 2 councillors to sit on [[Colchester Borough Council]]. The ward was previously represented by 3 councillors from 1976 to 2002.

The ward was abolished at the [[2016 Colchester Borough Council election|2016 election]] and parts were amalgamated with the enlarged '''Prettygate''' ward and the new '''Lexden & Braiswick''' ward.
