'''[[Renfrewshire]]''' is one of the 32 [[Subdivisions of Scotland#Council areas|council areas]] of Scotland (also known as local authorities or unitary authorities), formally established in 1996 to succeed the [[Renfrew (district)|Renfrew district]] within the [[Strathclyde]] [[Local government areas of Scotland (1975–1996)|region]], both of which were abolished; the headquarters are at [[Paisley, Renfrewshire|Paisley]].

The composition of the new bodies was decided in the [[Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994]] and elections were held nationwide in [[1995 Scottish local elections|May 1995]]. Initally, councillors were elected via 40 individual [[Wards and electoral divisions of the United Kingdom#Scotland|wards]] each returning one member on a [[Plurality voting|plurality]] ([[First-past-the-post voting|First-past-the-post]]) basis, which was the case in [[1995 Renfrewshire Council election|1995]],<ref>[http://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Scottish-Council-Elections-1995.pdf Scottish Council Elections 1995 - Results and Statistics], H.M.

Under the [[Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004]], the election format was changed to a more proportional [[single transferable vote]], with larger wards each electing three or four councillors (depending on population size), which in Renfrewshire resulted in the creation of 11 wards, still returning 40 councillors - the format used in the [[2007 Renfrewshire Council election|2007 elections]] was repeated in [[2012 Renfrewshire Council election|2012]].<ref>[http://boundaries.scot/Electoral/4th_Reviews/Renfrewshire/4th_Review_Renfrewshire_Overview.pdf 4th Reviews - ward maps {{!}} Renfrewshire Overview], [[Boundaries Scotland]].

==Renfrew North and Braehead==
[[File:Renfrew North and Braehead.svg|thumb|Location of the Renfrew North and Braehead ward]]
As its name suggests, its territory covers the northern parts of [[Renfrew]], the northern boundary being the [[River Clyde]]. Created in 2007 as '''Renfrew North''' with three representatives, the boundary review prior to the 2017 election resulted in a minor addition – streets north of Porterfield Road – which, in combination with the building of several residential developments surrounding the [[Braehead]] retail and leisure complex, increased the population sufficiently to merit a fourth councillor;<ref>[http://boundaries.scot/Electoral/5th_Reviews/Renfrewshire/5th_Review_Renfrewshire_Ward_1.pdf 5th Reviews - ward maps {{!}} Renfrewshire {{!}} Ward 1 Renfrew North and Braehead], [[Boundaries Scotland]].

The 2017 definition includes the [[Ralston, Renfrewshire|Ralston]] and Oldhall neighbourhoods up to the local authority border with [[Glasgow]], plus Barshaw, Whitehaugh and Williamsburgh further into Paisley on either side of the [[A761 road|A761]] Glasgow Road, where [[St Mirin's Cathedral]] and [[Paisley Grammar School]] are both situated.<ref>[http://boundaries.scot/Electoral/5th_Reviews/Renfrewshire/5th_Review_Renfrewshire_Ward_3.pdf 5th Reviews - ward maps {{!}} Renfrewshire {{!}} Ward 3 Paisley Northeast and Ralston], [[Boundaries Scotland]].

The 2017 boundary review led to the removal of some territory to the west of the course of the former [[Paisley and Barrhead District Railway]] tracks at Barskiven Road to the Johnstone South and Elderslie ward, but with only a small reduction in population as most of the developed land comprises the non-residential Phoenix Retail Park and St James Business Park.

==Paisley Southwest==
[[File:Paisley Southwest.svg|thumb|Location of the Paisley Southwest ward]]
'''Paisley Southwest''' was created in 2007 and elects four councillors – it was unaffected by the 2017 boundary review. 

As its name suggests, it covers the south-western areas of [[Paisley, Renfrewshire|Paisley]] including Brediland, Durrockstock, [[Foxbar]], Lounsdale, Meikleriggs and Stanely plus the Langcraigs neighbourhood (generally considered to be part of [[Glenburn, Paisley|Glenburn]]), as well as most of the [[Gleniffer Braes|Gleniffer Braes Country Park]] on the high ground to the south of the town. Its northern boundary is along the course of the old [[Paisley Canal line]] and [[Potterhill railway station|Potterhill branch]] railway tracks, and the eastern boundary along Stanely Road / Gleniffer Road to Glenburn Road, then east up to Langcraigs Drive; the south and west boundaries of the ward extend beyond the Paisley built-up area.<ref>[http://boundaries.scot/Electoral/5th_Reviews/Renfrewshire/5th_Review_Renfrewshire_Ward_7.pdf 5th Reviews - ward maps {{!}} Renfrewshire {{!}} Ward 7 Paisley Southwest], [[Boundaries Scotland]].
