17.09.21. The Parish Council is committed to engaging with Upton residents and values comments, suggestions and 'you could do better' at all times.
In order to 'throw open the doors' to chat with residents in a public forum (where Parish Council meetings don't allow), this year, the Parish Council has held three Community Engagement meetings. Sadly the meetings are not well attended and the Parish Council would welcome suggestions as to how attendance could be improved.
It may be you are content and happy living in Upton and have no comments for the Parish Council; either way, we are happy to hear from you.
Notes from last night's meeting are below:

14.09.21. The Parish Council has approved plans to plant a small woodland on the QE II Playing Field - see map below where the planned planting area is shown outlined in green.
This will add a new and interesting dimension to the field and in time will provide shelter for birds and wildlife as well as a super hide-and-seek place for families with young children.
The Parish Council's five-year development plan for the QE II Playing Field, Pavilion and sports facilities continues to seek ways to improve the environment and the its services.
A project scheduled for next year will seek to improve drainage to the football pitches which along with finding a long-awaited solution to surface water on the field will open up even more possibilities for the use of the space.
