About

Wetherby ward encompasses the historic market town of Wetherby itself, situated on the banks of the River Wharfe in the eastern part of Leeds. The area includes surrounding villages such as Walton and Thorp Arch, featuring a mix of residential and commercial spaces. Its landscape is characterised by open green spaces like the Linton and Wetherby Ings, which are flood meadows alongside the river.

The town centre retains a traditional layout focused around its market place, with independent shops and local services. The area is known for its racecourse, which hosts regular meetings. Transport links are provided by the A1(M) motorway, which runs to the east of the town, connecting it to wider regional networks. The ward maintains a distinct community identity separate from the main urban core of Leeds.
