About

Upperton ward sits on the northern slopes above Eastbourne's town centre, primarily a residential area with a mix of housing types. The layout is defined by long, straight roads like Upperton Road itself, which runs parallel to the main railway line connecting the area to the coast. Housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to more modern developments, with local shopping parades serving the community's daily needs.

The ward's elevated position offers clear views towards the South Downs from its upper streets. A notable local landmark is the large red-brick building of St. Mary's Church, situated at a major junction. The area is bordered by leafy Gildredge Park to the east, providing green space, while its western edge is marked by the busy arterial road of Willingdon Trees.
