Leeds City Council is the local authority for one of the UK’s largest and fastest‑growing cities, serving a population of nearly 800,000 across diverse communities, major employment centres, historic neighbourhoods and expanding suburban areas. As the economic heart of West Yorkshire, Leeds combines a strong digital, financial and creative sector with world‑class universities, cultural institutions and significant regeneration zones.

The council delivers a wide range of services including planning, housing, social care, transport, environmental services, public health, leisure, culture, education and economic development. Its work reflects the scale and ambition of the city — from major infrastructure and transport improvements to sustainable growth, inclusive communities and climate‑focused investment.

Key priorities include transforming the city centre, supporting new housing and employment sites, improving public transport and active travel, enhancing parks and green spaces, and ensuring Leeds remains a welcoming, fair and forward‑looking city. The council works closely with regional partners, businesses, voluntary organisations and communities to deliver high‑quality services and long‑term investment across the city.

Whether enabling development, supporting families, improving neighbourhoods or driving innovation, Leeds City Council is committed to keeping Leeds a thriving, resilient and globally connected place to live, work and visit.
