About

Kippax & Methley ward lies in the eastern part of Leeds, encompassing the former mining villages of Kippax and Methley alongside Allerton Bywater. The landscape is characterised by residential streets, local shopping parades, and significant green spaces that transition into open countryside. The area's industrial past is subtly evident in its community layout and the presence of reclaimed land now used for recreation.

A notable local feature is the Methley Railway Path, a greenway following a disused rail line that connects communities. The ward contains several parks and sports fields, with the River Aire forming part of its southern boundary. Kippax Centre provides a focal point for local services and community activities, serving the surrounding residential areas.
