# Airdrie North (ward)

Airdrie North is one of the twenty-one wards used to elect members of North Lanarkshire Council. It elects four councillors and covers northern and eastern parts of Airdrie (Clarkston, Drumgelloch, Holehills and Thrashbush neighbourhoods) plus the outlying villages of Caldercruix, Wattston, Plains and Glenmavis. Established in 2007, a boundary review in 2017 resulted in a very minor change (the loss of a few streets in Burnfoot). In 2019, the ward's population was 20,137.
