Glasgow West is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament. The constituency was created by the 2023 review of Westminster constituencies and was first contested at the 2024 general election, since when it has been represented by Patricia Ferguson of Scottish Labour.[2]
Boundaries
[edit]The constituency consists of the following Glasgow City Council wards or part wards:
- The whole of Victoria Park ward;
- the bulk of Garscadden/Scotstounhill - excluding a small area to the west which is included in West Dunbartonshire;
- the whole of Drumchapel/Anniesland ward; and
- the majority of Partick East/Kelvindale ward - mostly to the south of the A82 Great Western Road.[3][4]
It was formed primarily from the abolished Glasgow North West constituency, excluding the part transferred to West Dunbartonshire, with the addition of the Partick and Hyndland districts from Glasgow North.[5][6]
