About

Outwood East is an electoral ward of Wakefield Metropolitan District in West Yorkshire, covering the eastern part of the Outwood suburb, around three miles east of Wakefield city centre. The area is largely residential with a mix of older terraces, semi‑detached houses and more recent housing developments. Local amenities include primary schools, convenience shops and community facilities, while regular bus services link the ward with Wakefield and neighbouring towns. Small public green spaces and footpaths sit between streets, and local planning and services are provided by Wakefield Council.

The neighbourhood includes Outwood Grange Academy, the school that established the Outwood Grange Academies Trust, a network of schools across the region. That connection shapes local school provision and community projects. The ward is represented on Wakefield Council and holds its own local consultations and events, giving residents direct routes for reporting issues and shaping services. Road and bus links make city centre services accessible without crossing into other Wakefield suburbs.
