About

Upton ward lies in the northern section of Wirral, primarily a residential suburb with a mix of housing types. The area is centred around the Upton Village conservation area, which features local shops and services along the main roads. Residential streets branch out from this core, consisting largely of interwar and post-war semi-detached and detached homes. The ward is bordered by the A551 and A5027 roads, providing connections to Birkenhead and the M53 motorway.

The landscape includes several green spaces, most notably the large Arrowe Park, which lies just to the west of the ward's boundary. Within Upton itself, you find the grounds of the former Upton Hall, now home to the national headquarters of the Girlguiding organisation. The area is served by Upton railway station on the Wirral line, offering regular services to Liverpool and the wider peninsula.
