Paisley Southeast (ward)
Paisley Southeast is one of the twelve wards used to elect members of the Renfrewshire Council. It elects three Councillors.
Location of the ward in Renfrewshire (pre-2017 boundaries)[1]
Created in 2007 as Paisley South with four representatives and territory including almost all of south-eastern Paisley between Barrhead Road / Hurlet Road (the A726) to the north-east and Calside / Park Road / Stanely Road / Gleniffer Road (but not the Langcraigs neighbourhood) to the west,[2] a boundary review prior to the 2017 Renfrewshire Council election led to part of its territory (between the A726 and Rowan Street / Dykebar Hospital, i.e the Charleston, Dykebar, Hawkhead and Hunterhill neighbourhoods) being combined with part of the Paisley East and Ralston ward to form an additional entity, Paisley East and Central, the existing wards losing one seat each. The 2017 definition includes Carriagehill, Glenburn, Lochfield, Potterhill and Thornly Park;[3] in 2020, the ward population was 12,925.[4]
