Governance
Following the breakup of Strathclyde Regional Council in 1996, Newton Mearns became part of the new East Renfrewshire Council area. As part of this area, it is represented by Jim Murphy MP and Ken Macintosh MSP in the Parliament of the United Kingdom and the Scottish Parliament respectively.
On more than one occasion, Glasgow City Council has applied to the Scottish Boundaries Commission to have Newton Mearns re-allocated to its control.
