UK Postcodes to Administrative Wards / Electoral Divisions / Zones

An instant download containing every UK Postcode and Administrative Wards which are the key to seeing how Government and Local Authorities divide the UK. This database is an essential file to relate residential and business addresses to Administrative Geographic Areas. Postcode Wards are found in Scotland, Northern Ireland and most of England. An additional file is also supplied, which contains Royal Mail’s ‘Retired’ Postcodes – postcodes no longer in circulation.  For completeness, we have retained and show the historic Administrative / Ward information for these retired postcodes. As part of the fee paid, we will automatically send you a full product file refresher every 3 months for no additional fee.

Wards are the pre-defined areas used to elect local government Councillors in Metropolitan and Non-Metropolitan districts, Unitary Authorities and the London Boroughs (Unitary Authorities in Wales; Council Areas in Scotland; and District Council Areas in Northern Ireland).
