Partick East/Kelvindale is one of the 23 wards of Glasgow City Council; used since the 2017 local election, it is one of two created from the Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland's 5th Review.[1] It was formed from parts of the former wards (as they existed until 2017) of Hillhead, Partick West, and Maryhill/Kelvin.[2]
Situated to the west of Glasgow city centre, the ward covers the areas of Kelvindale, Kelvinside, Dowanhill, Hyndland, Partickhill and parts of Partick as well as the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. It is bordered to the north-east by parts of the River Kelvin and Forth and Clyde Canal and by Byres Road to the south-east. The Argyle and North Clyde railway lines run along its most western side, including three mainline stations; Anniesland, Hyndland, and Partick; and two Glasgow subway stations; Kelvinhall and Partick.
The ward is represented by four councillors, one each from the Scottish National Party, Scottish Labour, Scottish Green Party, and Scottish Conservatives.
