About

Billing & Riverside sits on the northern edge of Northampton where the River Nene runs through floodplain and green corridors. The riverside towpath and adjacent open spaces are used year-round for walking and cycling. The area includes Billing Aquadrome, a long-established caravan and leisure site defined by a network of lakes used for boating and angling, and stretches of riverside parkland that frame housing and community facilities close to the water. The river shapes local routes and small wetland pockets that attract birdlife and informal outdoor activity.

Housing in Billing & Riverside ranges from village streets in Great Billing to post-war and later estates closer to the river, with local shops, primary schools and community centres serving residents. Small industrial and business units sit near the riverside transport corridors, and bus services connect the ward with other parts of Northampton. Day-to-day life here is oriented around the river, the aquadrome lakes and the neighbourhood amenities that serve a mainly residential population.
