<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Postcode sector boundaries are created and maintained by National Records of Scotland (NRS). Postcode </SPAN><SPAN>sectors</SPAN><SPAN> are represented by the outward code (first part of a postcode) plus the first character of the inward code. For example, if the individual postcode is EH12 7TB, then the sector of that postcode is EH12 7. Postcodes that fall within the same sector are dissolved to create postcode sector boundaries. NRS publish these boundaries twice a year as part of the Scottish Postcode Directory (SPD) which should be considered the definitive source for postcode geographies in Scotland.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
