This page is here to keep you informed about what’s happening in your neighbourhood and the work Leeds Federated is doing to deliver our services to you. Our aim is simple: to help people make a home, and we’re here to listen, learn and act on your views
You’ll find your Neighbourhood Plan here (just click or tap the image below)
Your plan has been created using your feedback from recent surveys. It highlights what’s working well, what needs attention, and the priorities you’ve told us matter most. We’ve also developed an Action Plan to show how we’ll deliver on these priorities.
This page is your hub for updates, news, and ways to get involved. Check out the newsfeed below for the latest, explore other pages for wider projects, and discover how you can share your ideas or join in.
Plus, a little bonus: every month, we’re giving away a £30 voucher to someone who interacts on the Your Voice site – whether that’s leaving a comment, completing a survey, or sharing something creative. So, get involved and have your say!
Holbeck sits just south of Leeds city centre and is one of the city’s most historic and characterful communities. Known for its strong community spirit and industrial heritage, Holbeck is a place where neighbours look out for one another and local pride runs deep.
Residents enjoy a great mix of amenities, from independent cafés and local shops to nearby supermarkets and health services. Popular local spots include Slung Low at Holbeck Working Men’s Club, the award-winning Northern Monk Refectory, and the historic Midnight Bell pub. Holbeck Moor provides open green space for walking, football and community events, while the Leeds and Liverpool Canal offers scenic routes into the city centre.
Holbeck is part of the Beeston and Holbeck ward. Your councillors, Shaf Ali, Annie Maloney and Andrew Scopes are active in supporting local initiatives and community projects across the area.
Getting around is easy with regular bus services along Domestic Street, Elland Road and Holbeck Moor Road, as well as excellent walking and cycling routes into Leeds city centre. Leeds Train Station is also within easy reach for many residents.
Residents enjoy spending time outdoors at Holbeck Moor and nearby Cross Flatts Park, with plenty of opportunities for walking, sport and family activities. The area is also close to the wider South Bank regeneration area, bringing new investment and opportunities into the community.
Young people can take part in sports, arts and youth activities through local organisations including Slung Low, Holbeck Together and nearby community centres. Throughout the year, residents enjoy community events, local performances and neighbourhood activities that bring people together.
Stay active with nearby gyms and fitness facilities, or support local teams including Leeds United at nearby Elland Road. Community football sessions, running groups and fitness classes regularly take place across South Leeds.
Holbeck has a fascinating history and played a major role in the Industrial Revolution. The area is home to Temple Works, one of Leeds’ most iconic historic buildings, and was once at the heart of the city’s engineering and manufacturing industries. Did you know that Holbeck is often described as one of the birthplaces of the Industrial Revolution in Leeds?
