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!
Middleton sits in the south of Leeds, close to the wide open green spaces of Middleton Park. Known for its strong sense of community, Middleton is a place where neighbours feel connected and proud of their local area.

Families make use of local services such as Middleton Health Centre, community hubs and friendly pubs and cafés across the area. Hidden gems include Middleton Park, with woodland walks, play areas and a visitor centre, while the nearby John Charles Centre for Sport offers activities and facilities for all ages.
Middleton is part of the Middleton Park ward. Your councillors, Emma Pogson-Golden, Wayne Dixon and Rob Chesterfield are active in supporting local initiatives and community projects across Middleton and Belle Isle.
