Drumchapel/Anniesland (Ward 14) is one of the 23 wards of Glasgow City Council.[2] Since its creation in 2007 it has retained the same boundaries and returned four council members, using the single transferable vote system.[3]
Located in the far north-west of Glasgow, the ward's western boundary is with West Dunbartonshire and its northern boundary with East Dunbartonshire. Despite its name, it contains only part of the Anniesland neighbourhood (the streets to the north of Anniesland Road, and to the north of Great Western Road, east of Anniesland Cross). It contains all of Drumchapel, Netherton, Temple, Old Drumchapel, Blairdardie and High Knightswood, and part of Knightswood (streets to the east of Great Western Road and Knightswood Road).
The ethnic makeup of the Drumchapel/Anniesland ward using the 2011 census population statistics was:
