Keighley Central covers the town centre of Keighley in the district of Bradford, West Yorkshire, taking in Victorian stone terraces, former textile mills, the market and the well‑known heritage Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. The River Aire runs close by and the ward sits within easy reach of the Pennine moors of the Worth Valley, giving a mix of urban streets and scenic outlooks.
The ward has a culturally diverse population with a strong community spirit, lively independent shops and cafés, and regular local events. Like many former mill towns it faces economic challenges but benefits from ongoing regeneration efforts, tourism linked to its industrial heritage and good rail connections into Bradford and Leeds.
