About

Morley North ward covers the northern part of the town of Morley, situated to the southwest of Leeds city centre.

Its landscape is characterised by undulating streets and several green spaces, including the substantial Daisy Hill recreational ground. The ward contains local shopping parades serving daily needs, with the main commercial and civic facilities located in central Morley.

A defining topographical feature is the prominent Morley Hole, a large, grassy depression of uncertain origin that serves as a distinctive local landmark and public open space. The ward is well-connected by road, with the A650 and A653 providing key routes. Scattered light industrial units exist on its fringes, but the overall character remains that of a settled suburb with established community infrastructure.
