I'll be working on a first cut of the 'areas' table tomorrow.Expensive. There are a few postcode management sites that provide positional data against the post code, but they all cost quite a bit of money. We are working on a cut down version for key areas, with a rough entry for the first part for all post codes, with a few that people will provide fine detail for their own area later.Interesting. Is it an open project?
