The ward elected two councillors to Montgomeryshire District Council[3] and Powys County Council, but since the May 1999 election it elected one county councillor to Powys County Council.[4]
Newtown Central is a community ward and is represented by three town councillors on Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn Town Council.[5]
