Your answer for G5 0UG

G5 0UG is in the Southside Central ward of Glasgow City. These are the 5 people elected for it.

  • Mhairi HunterElected at a by-election on 20 March 2025, as Scottish National Party (SNP) Their elections
  • Alexander BelicElected 5 May 2022, as Scottish National Party (SNP) Their elections
  • Elaine GallagherElected 5 May 2022, as Scottish Green Party Their elections
  • James ScanlonElected 5 May 2022, as Labour Party Their elections
  • Soryia SiddiqueElected 5 May 2022, as Labour Party Their elections

The ward has 4 seats and 5 people are named. A by-election, most recently on 20 March 2025, fills a seat someone has left, and the records do not say whose seat, so one of the people named no longer sits for the ward.

A councillor can stand down or change party between elections. Glasgow City's own list is the current one, with how to contact them.

ONS places a whole postcode in one council, one ward and one constituency, from a single point. A few postcodes cross a boundary, so an address at the edge can belong to the one next door. Your council tax bill or your poll card settles it for your address.

How do I contact my local councillor?

Your council lists its councillors, each with an email address or phone number, and often when they hold a surgery. The link under your answer opens that list for your council.

Say which ward you live in and give your address, so the councillor knows you are someone they represent.

Which councillor should I contact?

Any of your ward’s councillors can help. They all represent everyone in the ward, whoever you voted for.

Start with the council that runs the service. Where there are two councils, rubbish collection, housing and planning applications belong to the district, borough or city council, and education, transport and social care belong to the county council, which has its own councillors.

Where do these names come from?

From Democracy Club, a non-profit that records every local election and by-election in the UK. For your ward we show the people elected at its most recent elections, enough to fill its seats, and anyone elected at a by-election since. We read their records on 27 October 2026 and hold councillors for 8,826 wards.

An election result does not change, but a councillor can stand down, or change party, before the next one. Your council’s own list is the current word.

How we use Democracy Club's records

Is my MP my councillor?
