East Centre (Ward 18) is one of the 23 wards of Glasgow City Council.^[2] On its creation in 2007 and in 2012 it returned four council members, using the single transferable vote system.^[3] For the 2017 Glasgow City Council election, the boundaries were changed, but four members were still returned.

Boundaries

Located in the east of Glasgow, the core of the ward since 2007 includes Carntyne, Cranhill and Riddrie, with the northern boundary being the M8 motorway). The 2017 changes were substantial: the Dennistoun, Milnbank and Haghill neighbourhoods in the west of the original territory were removed and assigned to a new Dennistoun ward, whereas the neighbourhoods of Barlanark, Budhill, Greenfield, Lightburn and Springboig were added to East Centre from the Baillieston ward. The southern boundary is the North Clyde Line railway.
