Postcode changes

Thursday, 30 November 2006

The proposals for the CB1-5 area relate to the postcode section of the address only. They are due to go out to public consultation on February 14, 2006 for three months. They are designed to reflect the predicted growth in development in Cambridge city and its environs over the next few years - about 27,000 new addresses in the city area and 23,000 in the rural areas - and to address the issue of postcode exhaustion in some parts of the CB1-5 area (75% used and upwards). These proposals form part of the normal evolution and development of the national Postcode Address File (PAF), which records details of all 27 million addresses in the UK.
