Despite recent efforts on the part of Leeds City Council to regenerate the inner-city area, the residential profile of Leeds Central, which takes in the centre of the city plus the inner-city area of Hunslett, to the south, remains solidly working-class. A mix of traditional working-class terraces and more recent local authority housing leaves little room for a significant Conservative vote, beyond the few new and upwardly mobile residential developments along the River Aire. This remains safe for Labour.
