We, the residents, supporters, and stakeholders of Pudsey, are deeply concerned and outraged by Leeds City Council’s proposed plan to sell off Pudsey Town Hall — a beloved building that has served our town for over a century.

This is more than just bricks and mortar. Pudsey Town Hall is a symbol of our civic pride, our local heritage, and our community’s identity. It has hosted weddings, meetings, community groups, performances — and stood as a visible reminder of Pudsey’s independent spirit.

This is unacceptable. We will not allow this vital piece of Pudsey’s history and community infrastructure to be lost due to inaction and broken promises.

📢 We call for:

❌ An immediate halt to the sale of Pudsey Town Hall.
🗣️ A full, transparent community consultation on the building’s future.
🏛️ A serious proposal for community ownership or long-term leasing, ensuring it remains in public hands.
🗳️ The creation of a Pudsey Town Council, so local decisions are made by local people.

🕰️ A chance to take back local control

Pudsey lost its local voice when the borough was absorbed into Leeds in 1974. The time has come to bring that voice back. Like Otley and Horsforth, we deserve local representation that puts our town’s needs first — and protects the spaces that make Pudsey special.
