Cardonald (ward)

Cardonald (Ward 4) is one of the 23 wards of Glasgow City Council. It was created in 2007 as Craigton and returned four council members using the single transferable vote system. The same name and boundaries were used in the 2012 elections. For the 2017 Glasgow City Council election, the name was changed (Craigton is the name of a historic estate and was used as a ward name in past versions of the town authority, but in modern times the urban neighbourhood known by that name did not fall within its boundaries, whereas the whole of the larger Cardonald district did) although the territory and councillor numbers remained the same.

Boundaries
Located in the southwest of Glasgow, the ward includes Cardonald as well as Hillington, Halfway, Penilee, Mosspark, Corkerhill, the northern part of Crookston (known as Rosshall) and the northern part of Pollok (the Lyoncross/Templeland area north of the Levern Water, the rest of the district coming under the Greater Pollok ward).

The ethnic makeup of the Cardonald ward using the 2011 census population statistics was:


 * 93.8% White Scottish / British / Irish / Other
 * 4.1% Asian
 * 1.3% Black (Mainly African)
 * 0.7% Mixed / Other Ethnic Group
