Billing
Billing is made up of two former villages before the
1970s known as Great Billing and Little Billing. After a 1980s
housing development Bellinge and Standens Barn were formed.
Billing is off the Wellingborough Road, east of Weston Favell and
can also be accessed from the A45 and Great Billing Way. The
oldest settlements in Billing are Church Lane in Little Billing
and Station Road in Great Billing.
Bellinge has become notorious for it's deprived and crime ridden
streets. Made to house the overspill of London in the mid 80s
Bellinge became a hotspot for violent crime in the mid 90s and in
1994 had the worst crime rate in the whole of Northamptonshire.
During 1996, the crime rate was five times the national average
and the Deer's Leap pub on Billingmead Square was a 'no go area'
day and night. Bellinge hit melting point in late 1996 when
rioting between local drug dealers and police ensued, petrol
bombs and missiles were thrown all across the place as eventually
flats were demolished and the area became Fieldmill Square.
Standens Barn has gradually been built up throughout the late 80s
and 90s and is accessable from Billing Brook Road.
