Armley sits to the west of Leeds, close to the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Known for its strong sense of community, it’s a place where neighbours feel connected.

Residents enjoy a great mix of amenities, from local shops along Town Street and Armley Shopping Centre to nearby healthcare services and friendly local pubs. Hidden gems include Armley Park, one of Leeds’ largest green spaces with play areas and sports facilities, and the historic canal towpaths offering scenic walks throughout the year.

Armley is part of the Armley ward. Your councillors are active in supporting local initiatives - find out more or get involved through local community channels and events.

Getting around is easy with regular buses from Armley Town Street into Leeds city centre. The area is only around 2 miles from central Leeds and has convenient access to supermarkets and everyday essentials.

Explore Armley Park for peaceful walks or riverside views. Residents also make the most of green spaces along the canal and nearby recreation areas.

Young people can enjoy sports clubs and activities at Armley Leisure Centre and local community groups, with events and programmes running throughout the year.

Stay active at nearby gyms and fitness facilities, or join community sports and social activities in the area. Cheer on local teams or take part in group classes and outdoor exercise.

Armley has a fascinating history, from its industrial roots in wool production to landmarks like Armley Mills, once the world’s largest woollen mill and now home to the Leeds Industrial Museum.

    Hello, just wanted to share something that might be helpful if things are a bit tight right now. There are some great local initiatives working to make sure good food doesn't go to waste and gets to people who need it.

    Basically, they team up with businesses to rescue perfectly good surplus food and then share it with the community. It's a win-win: less waste and more support for families.

    If you're finding it hard to put food on the table, it might be worth looking into these kinds of projects in our neighbourhood. They're doing some really important work.

    The Drop-in sessions have now ended. You can still contact us via the normal communication channels.

    We recently asked you to vote on a poll about whether you would like the monthly drop-in sessions to continue. Due to lack of attendance and poll results, we have decided to discontinue the drop-ins for the time being. However, we will continue to listen to your thoughts and opinions about your neighbourhood - just drop Akhwan an email or give him a call.

    We will be carrying out visit to your property to discuss completing a Neighbourhood Survey. Alternatively you can pop down to West Leeds Activity Centre to complete the survey face to face. You can find the survey on the bottom of the page.
