Basildon Urban District (from 1934 to 1955 Billericay Urban District) was a local government district in south Essex, England from 1934 to 1974.
The district was created in 1934 from the following parishes (all from Billericay Rural District):[1]
Basildon
Bowers Gifford
Great Burstead
Laindon
Lee Chapel
Little Burstead (until 1938, to Thurrock Urban District)
Nevendon
North Benfleet
Pitsea
Vange
Wickford
It also gained 1,282 acres (5 km2) from Chelmsford Rural District and 1,627 acres (7 km2) from Orsett Rural District.
In 1937 all the parishes were abolished and used to create a Billericay parish which occupied the same area as the district.[2] In 1955 the district was renamed Basildon, still consisting of the Billericay parish.[3]
Old Town Hall, Billericay
From 1938 until the early 1960s the urban district council met at the Town Hall at 94 High Street in Billericay and had its main offices nearby, notably at 98 High Street.[4][5][6] In the early 1960s the council moved to premises in the new town centre of Basildon.[7]
