Code-Point with polygons
Code-Point® with polygons contains postcode boundaries for Great Britain.
These show the extent of each postcode unit, enabling you to analyse information by postcode. Ideal for activities such as sales targeting or market profiling, as well as any statistical work.
Here Code-Point with polygons is overlaid on OS MasterMap® Topography Layer.
Variation to the polygon boundary shape
As a result in a change to the creation process for Code-Point with polygons you will notice variations in the postcode unit boundary position and alignment. This will take place from the April 2012 release onwards.
