# Newlands/Auldburn (ward)

Newlands/Auldburn (Ward 2) is one of the 23 wards of Glasgow City Council. Situated south of the city and the River Clyde, it is represented by 3 members as of May 2022, one each from the Scottish National Party, Scottish Labour, and Scottish Green Party.

## Boundaries and demographics

The ward covers the areas of Pollokshaws, Newlands, Hillpark, Auldhouse, Merrylee, Cowglen, Kennishead, Eastwood, Mansewood, Carnwadric, Arden and the western part of Muirend, as well as Pollok Country Park. It is bordered to the east by Pollokshaws East, Langside and Muirend railway stations, with Pollokshaws West and Kennishead stations running through the centre.
A 2017 boundary change resulted in the gain of Arden from the Greater Pollok ward, and a minor loss of a few streets in Cathcart to the Langside ward when the boundary was moved south from the White Cart Water to the Cathcart Circle Line railway.
According to the 2011 census, the ethnicity of the population is:
