Pollokshields (Ward 6) 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 boundaries were changed, the ward increased in size and returned four members.

Boundaries

Located on the South Side of Glasgow, the ward includes Pollokshields itself as well as Crossmyloof, Strathbungo and the western part of Shawlands. The 2017 expansion took in Bellahouston, Craigton and Dumbreck from the Govan ward.

  • 69.3% White Scottish / British / Irish / Other
  • 26.9% Asian (Mainly Pakistani)
  • 2% Black (Mainly African)
  • 1.6% Mixed / Other Ethnic Group

This makes it one of the most ethnically diverse wards in Glasgow.
