Upton (born 1930), part of the original parish of Upton-cum-Chalvey (in the south of the modern Borough), was an original ward which has existed in some form continuously since 1930. It is a three-seat ward. Upton was the most Conservative area of Slough until demographic change made Labour competitive. Labour won the ward for the first time ever in 1990. In 1997 Labour won two seats and the Conservatives one. At the 2004 election the Conservatives won all three seats, although one Councillor has since become an Independent Conservative. Councillors by Party: (1997–1999) 2 Labour, 1 Conservative; (1999–2001) 3 Conservative; (2001–2002) 2 Conservative, 1 Labour; (2002–2004) 2 Labour, 1 Conservative; (2004) 3 Conservative; (2004–2006) 2 Conservative, 1 Independent Conservative; (2006–) 1 Conservative, 1 Independent Conservative, 1 Labour.
