2001 Output Area to higher areas and postcode to Output Area lookup file - Various files

Details

The following postcodes were originally allocated to the wrong Output Area.

Comments

The correct allocation is shown below:

2001 Output Area to 2004 ward lookup, and 2005 ward lookup (Modified 13.08.08)

The releases of the Output Area to 2004 Ward Look Up files in October and December 2004 included some corrections to the 2003 Ward Look Up file. Two of these corrections should not have been present:

  • October file only - Output Area 30UHGH0008 was re-assigned to Ward 30UHGN, it should remain assigned to 30UHGH.

  • October file and December file - Output Areas re-assigned from 00NSQK to 00NUSH should remain assigned to 00NSQK. This correction is also found on the 2001 Output Area to 2005 Ward lookup, but should not be present.

Files containing the correct associations are available on request from ONS Geography.
