About

Cross Gates & Whinmoor is a residential ward in east Leeds, centred around the original Cross Gates village and the large post-war Whinmoor estate. The area is primarily characterised by suburban housing, ranging from inter-war semis to later developments, with local retail concentrated along Station Road and the Cross Gates Shopping Centre. It functions as a significant transport hub for the wider region, served by a railway station and major road junctions.

The landscape includes several large public parks and green spaces, such as Temple Newsam Park which borders the ward. A notable local feature is the 'Ring Road', a large circular pedestrian and cycle path originally created from a discontinued tramline route. Community facilities include libraries and sports centres, with the area maintaining a distinct identity separate from the immediate city centre.
