About

Royds ward sits in Bradford's southwestern outskirts, encompassing the residential areas of Buttershaw, Woodside, and Wibsey. The terrain is characterised by rolling hills and green spaces, with a mix of post-war housing estates and older terraced homes. The ward is largely residential, with local shopping parades serving the community's daily needs. It is bordered by significant green corridors, including the Bradford Dale to the north.

A prominent local landmark is the Wibsey Slack, a large recreational parkland with sports pitches and a playground. The area is also home to the Buttershaw Business Park, which provides local employment. Historically, the development of the Buttershaw estate in the mid-20th century significantly shaped the area's current layout and community. Public transport links connect these neighbourhoods to Bradford city centre.
