Community facilities include primary schools, churches, sports pitches and a community centre that hosts local groups and events. The two settlements sit close together and the built area flows from one to the other along the main roads.

Public transport is based on regular bus services linking the ward with Leeds, Bradford and nearby towns; the nearest rail stations are at Morley and New Pudsey. Open land and greenbelt surround parts of the ward, with a network of local footpaths and playing fields used by clubs and schools.
