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!
Woodhouse sits just north of Leeds city centre, close to the University of Leeds and Woodhouse Moor. Known for its vibrant and diverse community, it’s an area where students, families and long-term residents live side by side.
Residents enjoy a great mix of amenities, from independent shops and cafés along Woodhouse Lane to nearby supermarkets including Sainsbury’s and Aldi. Local highlights include Woodhouse Moor, one of Leeds’ most popular green spaces, as well as Hyde Park Picture House and the Leeds University Union which hosts events throughout the year.
Woodhouse is part of the Little London and Woodhouse ward. Your councillors, Javaid Akhtar, Kayleigh Brooks and Abigail Marshall Katung are active in supporting local initiatives, community safety and neighbourhood improvements. Find out more or get involved through Leeds City Council.
Getting around is easy with regular buses running along Woodhouse Lane, Meanwood Road and Clay Pit Lane into Leeds city centre. The area is within walking distance of the city centre, Leeds Beckett University and the University of Leeds.
Explore Woodhouse Moor for peaceful walks, sports and outdoor events. Residents also enjoy nearby green spaces including Hanover Square Gardens and the Meanwood Valley Trail.
Young people can take part in sports clubs, youth activities and arts programmes through local community centres, Leeds University Union outreach projects and nearby facilities in Little London and Hyde Park. Look out for local community events and activities throughout the summer months.
