Lying to the west of Bradford’s commercial centre, Lister Hills is one of several communities that fall within the City electoral ward of the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council. The ward broadly covers the area enclosed by the inner ring road and extends outward to include Shearbridge, Brown Royd, Dirk Hill, Little Horton Green, and part of Lidget Green, alongside Lister Hills itself.
Political Representation
The City ward forms part of the Bradford West parliamentary constituency. On Bradford Council, the ward is represented by three Labour Party councillors: Nazam Azam, Shakeela Lal, and Aneela Ahmed, who between them cover local governance for Lister Hills and the surrounding communities.
