Authority names, codes and postcode boundary matches use the Office for National Statistics Local Planning Authorities (April 2023) dataset. Postcode locations come from Postcodes.io. A postcode is an approximate location, and administrative arrangements can change, so confirm the authority for the exact site before applying.
