About

Morley South covers the southern half of the town of Morley, situated southwest of Leeds city centre. The area is primarily residential, featuring a mix of Victorian terraced housing and more modern developments. The topography is noticeably hilly, with streets offering elevated views across the surrounding region. Morley Town Hall, a prominent local landmark with its distinctive clock tower, anchors the central area.

The ward includes several local parks and green spaces, such as Scatcherd Park. Morley's independent high street provides a focus for local commerce, separate from larger retail centres. The community maintains a strong sense of its own identity, historically rooted in the area's past as a centre for the wool and stone industries. The land slopes down towards the M621 motorway, which forms a partial boundary.
