Bishopbriggs North and Campsie (ward)

Bishopbriggs North and Campsie is one of the seven wards used to elect members of the East Dunbartonshire Council. It elects four Councillors.[2]

Location of the ward in East Dunbartonshire[1]

The ward was created in 2017 following a boundary review, when the council's wards were reduced in number from eight to seven – most of the Bishopbriggs North and Torrance ward of 2007 was combined with the majority of the Campsie & Kirkintilloch North ward (Clachan of Campsie, Lennoxtown and Milton of Campsie) – the parts of Bishopbriggs between the Croy Line railway tracks and the Bishopbriggs Burn were re-assigned to the Bishopbriggs South ward, and the parts of Kirkintilloch north of the Forth and Clyde Canal were re-assigned to Lenzie and Kirkintilloch South.[3] The new ward's territory borders the North Lanarkshire and Stirling local authority areas at either end of the Campsie Fells.[4] In 2020, the ward had a population of 19,323.[5]
