About

Otley & Yeadon is situated in the far northwest of Leeds, bordering the countryside of North Yorkshire. The ward encompasses the historic market town of Otley, with its central market square and traditional core, and the former mill town of Yeadon to the east. The area is defined by its proximity to open landscapes, with the River Wharfe and Otley Chevin forest park providing significant green space on its edges. Leeds Bradford Airport is located within the ward's boundaries, a major local employer and transport hub.

The area maintains distinct identities, with Otley's focus on local independent shops and weekly markets contrasting with Yeadon's more residential character. Industrial heritage is visible in converted mill buildings, particularly along the river. The presence of the airport introduces a consistent operational rhythm to parts of the landscape, with aircraft movements a familiar sight and sound. This blend of rural fringe, urban settlement, and transport infrastructure shapes the ward's practical character.
