Clydebank Waterfront (ward)

Clydebank Waterfront is one of the six wards used to elect members of the West Dunbartonshire Council. It elects four Councillors.

Location of the ward ^[1]

West of Boquhanran Road tunnel, the boundary between the wards changes from the canal to the Argyle Line / North Clyde Line railway tracks.
