Your neighbourhood: Jacquard Square

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.

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!

Jacquard Square sits in the south of Leeds, adjacent the Hunslet Mill Complex. 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, such as Morrisons to the wonderful Hunslet Club, a hub of activities. Hidden gems include the green space at Grove Road where community events are often held.

Jacquard Square is part of the Hunslet and Riverside ward. Your councillors, Mohammed Iqbal, Ed Carlisle and Paul Wray are active in supporting local initiatives, find out more or get involved here.

Getting around is easy with regular buses from Balm Road to Leeds. The area is only 3.5 miles from the centre of Leeds and in walking distance to local supermarkets.

Explore Middleton Park for peaceful walks. Residents love making use of local green spaces at Grove Road and Hunslet Moor Park.

Young people can join enjoy sports clubs and arts programs at the Hunslet Club. Look out for outreach sessions on Grove Road and community events throughout the summer.

Stay active at PureGym Hunslet which is a short drive away. Cheer on local teams like Hunslet RLFC or join community fitness classes and social sports.

Jacquard Square has a fascinating history. A place with industrial roots, particularly the textile industry. Did you know that for over 60 years, the Hunslet Moor Feast was a massive fixture, featuring large mechanical steam rides, roundabouts, and swing boats that drew crowds from across the city? The Feast no longer runs, with the Hunslet Festival taking place instead. We head there each year, so make sure to look out for us!
