Calton Ward (2017) within Glasgow

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.[2] 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.

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

  • 90% White Scottish / British / Irish / Other
  • 5.4% Asian (mainly Chinese)
