The area has a community council. The community council system replaced the former parish council system and tackles local issues, as well as acting as a contact point between local government and residents for information and resources on various issues. The community elects one member to represent the Corris/Mawddwy ward on Gwynedd Council.[1] Besides Corris, the ward covers Mawddwy community to the north-east.[2]
