About

Wibsey is a residential ward situated on the southern side of Bradford, centred around its own high street and shopping area.

The area is defined by several local greenspaces, including Wibsey Park with its boating lake and the expansive Buttershaw recreation grounds.

A notable local landmark is the Wibsey War Memorial, standing prominently on the high street. The area's topography includes the slopes of Wibsey Slack, offering views across the city. Community life is anchored by several local schools, churches, and social clubs, contributing to its self-contained character within the larger urban area of Bradford.
