Canal (Ward 16) is one of the 23wards ofGlasgow City Council.[2] Since its creation in 2007 it hasreturned four council members, using thesingle transferable vote system.[3] For the2017 Glasgow City Council election, the boundaries were changed and the ward decreased in population, but continued to return four councillors.
Located in the north ofGlasgow, the ward includesPossilpark andMilton as well asRuchill,Firhill,Hamiltonhill,Parkhouse,Lambhill,Port Dundas and part ofCowlairs, consisting of the streets to the west of theGlasgow to Edinburgh via Falkirk Line railway tracks which form the ward's eastern boundary (the exception is a small section of theColston neighbourhood on the eastern side of the tracks which is included to Canal ward; however, this area is further divided with everything north of Colston Road belonging to the adjoining town ofBishopbriggs inEast Dunbartonshire). The west boundary is the Port Dundas branch of theForth and Clyde Canal, which gives the ward its name.[4]
The 2017 changes added more territory west of the main canal (which was previously the boundary but now lies mostly within the ward), taking in theCadder neighbourhood from theMaryhill/Kelvin ward, along with a large area around Balmore Road which is almost uninhabited. In contrast, the more densely populatedNorth Kelvinside neighbourhood was reassigned to theHillhead ward.
