Hillhead (ward)
Hillhead is one of the 23 wards of Glasgow City Council. On its creation in 2007 and in 2012, it returned four council members, using the single transferable vote system. For the 2017 Glasgow City Council election, the boundaries were changed substantially, the ward slightly decreased in population and returned three members.
Boundaries
Situated to the west of Glasgow city centre, the core of the ward which has remained since its 2007 creation consists of Hillhead, Kelvinbridge, Gilmorehill, Woodlands and Woodside, with boundaries being the M8 motorway to the south-east and the Port Dundas branch of the Forth and Clyde Canal to the north-east.Other aspects of the ward were substantially altered in 2017, with the Dowanhill and Hyndland neighbourhoods reassigned to a new Partick East/Kelvindale ward and Byres Road becoming the south-west boundary; most of the North Kelvinside neighbourhood was gained from the Canal ward, and the Park District was gained from the Anderston/City ward, with the park's south entrances the new southern boundary of Hillhead.
Following these alterations, it was the smallest ward in physical size but the most densely populated, despite the park taking up a proportion of the territory.
