About

Leyland Central ward encompasses the historic core of the town, focused around the Market Place and Hough Lane. The area functions as the primary commercial and civic hub, containing the main shopping streets, council offices, and the parish church. The layout reflects its market town origins, with streets radiating from the central square. Residential streets, consisting largely of Victorian and interwar terraced and semi-detached housing, extend outwards from this core.

The ward is defined by the West Coast Main Line railway to the east and the River Lostock to the south. Worden Park, with its expansive greenspace, historic hall, and miniature railway, forms a significant green boundary to the west. This mix of dense urban centre, residential areas, and substantial parkland characterises the ward. The regular bustle of the market continues a long-standing local tradition in the town's heart.
