East Kilbride East (ward)
East Kilbride East is one of the twenty wards used to elect members of the South Lanarkshire Council.[2][3] Created in 2007, it elects three councillors. Its territory covers the parts of East Kilbride on the north-east and eastern peripheries of the town, primarily Calderwood (excepting the Maxwellton/west of Calderwood Road area), as well as Brancumhall, part of St Leonards (east of High Common Road), Nerston (the separate hamlet, but not the brownfield residential developments south of Kingsgate) and the Crutherland development fringing Calderglen Country Park. A 2017 national review added a few streets in the west of the ward (between Calderwood Road, Morrishall Road and Hunter Primary School). In 2019, the ward's population was 14,308.[4]
