Calton (ward)
Calton (Ward 9) is one of the 23 wards of Glasgow City Council. On its creation in 2007 and in 2012 it returned three council members, using the single transferable vote system. For the 2017 Glasgow City Council election, the seats increased to four due to the population having risen by 20% since it was first formed, although the boundaries did not change.
Located south-east of Glasgow city centre—the western boundary being High Street—and immediately north of the River Clyde, the ward includes the historic Calton area and the new Collegelands development as well as the neighbourhoods of Bridgeton, Dalmarnock (with the 2014 Commonwealth Games Athletes' Village, converted to residential homes), Gallowgate, Barrowfield, Newbank, Lilybank (to Maukinfauld Road), most of Parkhead (excluding parts north of Tollcross Road) and a small part of Dennistoun (the Reidvale streets between Duke Street and the North Clyde Line railway).
The ethnic makeup of the Calton ward using the 2011 census population statistics was:
