Setting the power of postcodes free

Ernest Marples Postcodes Ltd, whoever they may be, are encouraging you to use their free API to geocode your UK postcode data, with a plea to the Government and Royal Mail to make this 'official'.

Sites already using the service include:-

• Jobcentre Pro Plus — Search for jobs in your area
• PlanningAlerts.com — Get alerts for planning applications near you
• The Straight Choice — Help monitor the claims of election leaflets
• voteUK — A mobile service to look up your local polling station (in development)
