The Royal Mail tell you where to live?!

They tell other people where I live via their stupid postcode system.
It makes a big difference to people who live around mainly in insurance premiums and anything that has a risk.

The Royal Mail have what are known as "Delivery Towns" ie towns from whence the deliveries are made thus my address should include Rhyl despite it being 3 miles away but that is where the sorting office is.

Land Registry and Electoral rolls are why Planning are involved.

They are proof of where I live, not where the RM thinks I live.

Best not get me started on the Post Code Look Up service that Royal Mail markets to businesses. I have spent years on PostWatch battling against that b@st@rd thing. I wouldn't mind if it was accurate. Banghead

Ah yes, just after we moved here we changed from a Liverpool to a Chester postcode. All our premiums went down!  razz:

What's Public Health go to do with it?  whacky115

To assist emergency services, so they don't go to the wrong town/city/country. The planning laws are secondary.

People who live just down the road are classed as Mitcham with a Croydon code - we are Surrey.

Huge difference in costs/charges.

If you want the street numbered you will need to work through your local council and the Royal Mail. There are planning issues involved too so County will also need to be consulted. You haven't a dog's chance of getting it through in your lifetime. Move is the best answer and make sure you put it on your list of "deal breakers" if the new house isn't in a street of sequentially numbered properties.

Just name your house "Seven"
