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!
Tockwith, Boston Spa and Wetherby sit to the north-east of Leeds, offering a blend of rural charm and vibrant village life. Known for their strong sense of community, these areas are places where neighbours know each other and local traditions are well kept.
Residents enjoy a great mix of amenities. In Tockwith, you’ll find local favourites like the Tockwith Village Store and welcoming pubs such as The Spotted Ox. Boston Spa offers a bustling high street with independent shops, cafés and services including Boston Spa Medical Centre. Meanwhile, Wetherby provides a wider range of options, from supermarkets like Morrisons and Sainsbury’s to its popular market and riverside walks.
Hidden gems include the scenic banks of the River Wharfe in Wetherby, perfect for peaceful strolls, and the historic Tockwith Airfield, which hosts community and aviation events. Boston Spa’s Millennium Gardens is another much-loved green space for families and relaxation.
These areas fall within local wards represented by councillors including Andy Paraskos, Alan Lamb and Penny Stables who support community initiatives and local development. Residents are encouraged to engage with local forums and parish councils to have their say.
Getting around is straightforward, with regular bus services connecting Boston Spa and Wetherby to Leeds, Harrogate and York. Tockwith offers easy road access to the A1(M), making it ideal for commuters, while all three locations maintain a peaceful, semi-rural feel.
For outdoor space, residents can enjoy walks along the River Wharfe, explore nearby countryside trails, or relax in local parks such as Wetherby Ings. These green spaces are central to community life and wellbeing.
Young people have access to sports clubs, youth groups and community activities across the area, including cricket clubs in Tockwith, tennis and fitness facilities in Boston Spa, and a range of organised sports and events in Wetherby.
Stay active with local gyms and fitness classes, or support community sports teams and events throughout the year. Wetherby Racecourse also provides a popular venue for both sporting and social occasions.
Tockwith, Boston Spa and Wetherby each have a rich history—from Wetherby’s role as a historic market town and coaching stop, to Boston Spa’s origins as a Georgian spa village, and Tockwith’s links to wartime aviation. Together, they offer a distinctive mix of heritage, community spirit and modern living.
