About

The Liversedge and Gomersal ward is situated in the metropolitan borough of Kirklees, West Yorkshire. It encompasses the two distinct towns from which it takes its name, along with smaller settlements like Littletown. The area is characterised by a mix of residential housing, local retail centres, and pockets of industrial and commercial activity. The landscape is shaped by its position in the Spen Valley, with urban areas giving way to surrounding green uplands.

The ward's history is deeply connected to the textile industry, with former mill buildings repurposed for modern use. A network of local roads, including the A62, connects the communities. The area contains several parks and recreational grounds, such as the grounds around Oakwell Hall, a 16th-century manor house with historical literary connections. Public services and community facilities are centred around the individual towns that make up the ward.
