Glasgow Easterhouse and Springburn is a newly created Holyrood election seat. Encompassing chunks of the east end and northern parts of the city, the constituency is home to the Fort Shopping Centre, Alexandra Park and one of the oldest buildings in Glasgow – Provan Hall.
The constituency covers areas formerly found within the Maryhill and Springburn and Glasgow Provan constituencies, which are now abolished. The former Maryhill and Springburn seat was held by Bob Doris, SNP, since 2016 while Glasgow Provan was represented by the SNP’s Ivan McKee since 2016. Mr McKee is running in a bid to win the new Glasgow Easterhouse and Springburn seat on May 7.
Labour’s Paul Sweeney, who has been a Glasgow region MSP since 2021, is also fighting to represent the constituency. For the first time there will be a Reform candidate – Audrey Dempsey – who is currently a Springburn and Robroyston city councillor. The constituency includes Balornock, Haghill, Millton, Easterhouse, Robroyston, Springburn, Sighthill and Possilpark among other areas.
The following council wards make up the constituency: Canal Springburn and Robroyston North East Dennistoun Audrey Dempsey – Reform UK Josephine Macleod – Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party Ivan Mckee – Scottish National Party Nicholas Christopher Moohan – Scottish Liberal Democrats Kenneth Nwosu – Scottish Common Party Paul John Sweeney – Scottish Labour and Co-operative Party Among the issues impacting neighbourhoods, are social housing waiting lists, poverty, and lack of a secondary school in Milton while Springburn has the highest number of listed buildings at risk. Polls have predicted the SNP could win the seat.
