About Upton

Upton is a quiet Wirral suburb surrounding Arrowe Park, one of Merseyside's largest public open spaces. Post-war semi-detached and modern detached housing provides strong solar installation potential. The open park surroundings minimise shading, and growing professional families in this increasingly desirable area are driving above-average solar adoption rates.

Upton is located approximately 4.0 miles from Wallasey town centre, within the Wirral borough of Wallasey. The area uses CH49 postcodes and has a population of around 18,000. Regular buses to Birkenhead and West Kirby; M53 motorway access
