Calderdale is set in the beautiful South Pennines in West Yorkshire, a vibrant Metropolitan Borough, and an active part of Leeds City Region. We have a capital programme approaching £400m over the next three years, including major flood and transport infrastructure.


We have strong market towns and are rich in heritage, with buildings such as the Piece Hall and Shibden Hall, showcased to the world through Gentleman Jack, supporting our vibrant visitor economy.


We have developed Calderdale Cares, shaping our work in localities on integrating health and care, rooted in kindness and compassion, built upon strong relationships across the system, and innovative community anchors core to our future.
