About

Horsforth West is a local government ward covering the western part of the suburb of Horsforth, about five miles north‑west of Leeds city centre. The area is largely residential, with a mix of semi‑detached houses and short terraces threaded by local lanes. The A65 (Otley Road) gives a direct route into Leeds and towards Otley. Local bus services link the ward to neighbouring suburbs and the city. Street-level shopping and small commercial clusters sit along Town Street and New Road Side, serving everyday needs.

Horsforth Hall Park lies within the ward and provides open space, sports pitches and a play area used by local clubs and schools. The conservation area grouped around Town Street preserves stone-built commercial and civic buildings from the 19th century, so the high street retains narrow pavements and older shopfronts alongside modern services. Community facilities include primary schools, a library, and parish halls that host regular events, making the ward a focal point for nearby residential streets.
