Following on from previous Programmes, we are pleased to bring our fourth destination ‘Destination Upton', and welcome you to join us on the journey.

Project Themes
Through our Destination programmes, we aim to create lasting improvements, bringing communities together, and create opportunities for customers.
Consistent with previous programmes, and by working with our customers and residents of Upton we have identified key themes for the Upton area.
Image
Employment
We're supporting and developing individuals with our partners to deliver and establish training programmes and create employment opportunities for residents.
Image
Crime & ASB
Working with our partners, we’ll be helping to increase awareness of reporting ASB to help understand the main drivers for it in the Upton area, design out ASB through estate improvements and increase activity alongside customers and key partners.
Image
Health & Wellbeing
We’ll be supporting and funding projects to support health and wellbeing services to improve the lives of local residents.
Image
Open & Green Spaces
We are looking at the design and layout of the estate to see if we can improve the green spaces and environment. Green spaces will be assessed to see if they are suitable to take part in the ‘Big Halton Forest Project’.
