County councillors
Independent councillor Margaret Morris represented the ward on Powys County Council until May 2012, when the seat was won by Christopher Davies for the Welsh Conservative Party. Cllr Davies stood down in 2015 after being elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Brecon and Radnorshire.

A by-election was subsequently held in Glasbury on 13 August 2015, resulting in the new Conservative candidate being beaten by the Liberal Democrat candidate, James Gibson-Watt. Gibson-Watt had previously represented Hay-on-Wye until 2004 and had been leader of the Liberal Democrats on the county council.

Cllr Gibson-Watt successfully defended the seat at the May 2017 election.
