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 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.
