About

Drighlington & Gildersome West is a ward of the City of Leeds covering the village of Drighlington and the western edge of Gildersome. The A650 runs through Drighlington and forms the spine for local shops, services and parade shopping. Housing ranges from terraces and cottages to later estate developments. 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. Street pattern and surviving shopfronts along the A650 record the route’s long use as a local transport corridor, and small industrial and business units are clustered where side roads meet the main road.
