Stepps, Chryston and Muirhead is one of the twenty-one wards used to elect members of the North Lanarkshire Council.[2] It currently elects three councillors and, as its name suggests, covers the settlements of Stepps, Chryston and Muirhead (as well as Auchinloch) with a combined population of 12,290 in 2019.[3]
It was created in 2007 as Strathkelvin, covering a larger territory also including Gartcosh and Moodiesburn (the eastern boundary being the M73 motorway) and returning four councillors. A nationwide boundary review in 2017 that recommended more representation for the area overall led to these communities being placed in a separate new ward (along with Glenboig from the Coatbridge North ward), with the remainder of the Strathkelvin ward renamed and returning one fewer councillor. A specific review in 2019 caused the addition of a few streets of modern housing at Cardowan which had been in the North East ward of the Glasgow City Council area, re-allocating them to North Lanarkshire along with the rest of the developments in that area, addressing an anomaly dating back to when the boundary crossed open fields.[4][5]
On 22 May 2018, Conservative councillor Stephen Goldsack was expelled from the party after previous connections to the British National Party were exposed.[7]
SNP councillor Frances McGlinchey resigned from the party on 24 October 2012 in protest at the vote to overturn its long-standing opposition to NATO.[8]
