2005–2024

[edit]

Before the 2005 general election the city was covered by ten constituencies, of which two straddled boundaries with other council areas. The area's representatives before its inception were those forGlasgow Pollok and to a lesser extentGlasgow Govan.[2]

Under theFifth Review of UK Parliament constituencies which came into effect for the2005 general election, the boundaries were defined in accordance with the ward structure in place on 30 November 2004 as containing the Glasgow City Council wards of Cardonald, Crookston, Darnley, Drumoyne, Govan, Ibrox, Mosspark, Nitshill, North Cardonald, Penilee, and Pollok. Further to reviews of local government ward boundaries which came into effect in 2007 and 2017, but did not affect the parliamentary boundaries, the constituency comprised the City of Glasgow Council wards or part wards of:Newlands/Auldburn (small part),Greater Pollok,Cardonald,Govan (majority) andPollokshields (small part).

2024–present

[edit]

Further to the2023 review of Westminster constituencies which came into effect for the2024 general election, there were moderate changes to the constituency boundaries involving the addition of parts of the abolished constituency ofGlasgow Central, including the districts ofKingston,Tradeston,Kinning Park andDumbreck;Pollokshields was transferred fromGlasgow South. As part compensation, the districts ofNorth Cardonald,Hillington,Penilee andRosshall were transferred toPaisley and Renfrewshire North.

The constituency currently consists of the following wards or part wards of the City of Glasgow:

  • A small part ofNewlands/Auldburn (Arden housing estate);
  • the whole ofGreater Pollok ward;
  • southern parts ofCardonald ward – largely to the south of the A761 (Paisley Road West) and east of the A736 (Crookston Road);
  • the whole ofGovan ward; and
  • the majority ofPollokshields ward, comprising the area to the north of the railway line between Pollokshaws West, Crossmyloof and Rutherglen stations.[3][4]

The seat is one of six covering theGlasgow City council area; none have overspill.Scottish Parliament constituencies retain the names and boundaries of the immediate forebear seats.
