The ward of Grovehill resides in the Borough of Dacorum which itself is in the county of Hertfordshire. Grovehill has three local (borough) councillors and a county councillor, the latter being shared with Woodhall Farm (Hemel Hempstead North East).

Councillor Julie BanksJulie Banks (C0nservative) - First elected 2015. Julie lives and works locally. Many will know her as the manager of the Grovehill Community Centre. Easily contactable, Julie is always too willing to help residents with their issues and is perfectly placed to keep an eye on Henry Wells Square. Mother of two, Julie can relate to issues such as road safety and child care. Julie is also very well known to many of Grovehill's more senior citizens and again is only too keen to help.
Councillor Alexander BhinderAlexander Bhinder (Conservative) - First elected 2007. Like many of us, Alex became increasingly concerned about local issues such as anti-social behaviour, litter, roads, development and youth provisions. With a view to try to do something about local issues, Alex ran for election in 2007. Alex is passionate about Grovehill and its residents and feels quite privileged to be able to represent his community and help with residents' issues.
Councillor Goverdhan SilwalGoverdhan Silwal (Labour) - First elected 2015. In 2024, Goverdhan resigned from the Conservative party. After a few weeks as an independent, he joined Labour. In the county elections of 2025, he lost to Colette Wyatt-Lowe.
Councillor Colette Wyatt LoweColette Wayte-Lowe (Conservative) - First elected 2009. Calm, methodical, very professional and ultimately determined to get the job done, Colette is the best representation for the residents of Grovehill, at county level. Colette completely supported the case for all major roads in Grovehill to be resurfaced and amongst so many other issues which she takes to county, continues on her mission to repair pavements and maintain our roads.
