The Calder ward dataset includes the ward map; demographic profile; Public Health England local health report; Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) factsheet; Public health data; elections data and maps; anti-poverty data; and other ward data. Calder ward is situated in the west of Calderdale and is the largest ward in area. Much of it is open country with high Pennine moorland cut by deep valleys. Hebden Bridge is the main town, and smaller settlements include Heptonstall, Old Town, Pecket Well, Colden, Blackshaw Head and Lumbutts. The ward also covers the built-up area of east Todmorden. The main east to west transport routes (road and rail) bisect the ward along the Calder Valley, with a railway station at Hebden Bridge. For schools data at ward level, see Schools data by ward. New ward information 2026: There will be local (district) elections on 7th May 2026 for new wards following a Local Government Boundary Commission review. The information on this ward data page is based on ward boundaries that predate these elections. The Office for National Statistics is due to publish 2026 ward boundary information in June / July 2026. Once that has been published Calderdale Dataworks will be updated to include new ward data pages.
