Bearsden North (ward) explained

Bearsden North is one of the seven wards used to elect members of the East Dunbartonshire Council. It elects three Councillors. As its name suggests, its territory (which has not altered since its creation in 2007) consists of the northern part of the burgh of Bearsden, with part of the boundary to the south following the path of the Antonine Wall;[1] [2] it also borders the Drumchapel housing estate in Glasgow – the marked differences in average life expectancy and other factors between residents living in close proximity in the two areas has been remarked upon in various studies.[3] [4] In 2020, the ward had a population of 14,943.[5]
