Putting Place First

Our priority is putting Leeds first, driving the improvement of the city centre, transforming it for the better.

We occupy a pivotal role in the shaping of the city centre, introducing initiatives, animations and activities to improve it for those people who live and work in Leeds alongside those who visit.

Bold in what we bring to the city, our work is transformative, bringing added appeal and economic impact. Our projects have become part of the daily landscape, from the city’s streets to its skyline, making Leeds a better place to be.

Our improvements range from street cleaning to safety and security, the creative use of places and spaces and a programme of high-profile events, training for businesses, and providing a warm welcome for everyone coming into the city.

By animating and enhancing Leeds city centre, we are raising the city’s profile, putting Leeds firmly on the map in attracting talent, visitors, and investment.
