Governance
Nearly sixty years after its evacuation, the civil parish of Imber came to an end and its area was incorporated into the adjoining civil parish of Heytesbury, now referred to as "Heytesbury, Imber and Knook". Although it has no electors, Imber is represented in parliament by the member for South West Wiltshire, Andrew Murrison; and on Wiltshire Council by Christopher Newbury.
With the exception of St Giles's church, the whole parish is owned by the Ministry of Defence and is administered as part of its Salisbury Plain Training Area.
