What this site is
Postcode Council provides independent information, tools and data. Figures are researched, sourced inline, and dated; tools show their assumptions. Postcode Council is an independent site operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to gov.uk, the Office for National Statistics, any local authority or any government body. It does not operate a postcode lookup: the official one on gov.uk is free, authoritative and the right tool, and a copy of a public dataset that nobody refreshes would be worse than the original. What this site adds is which council handles which service once the lookup has named them. Every service list here is quoted from gov.uk's own guidance and read on the date shown at the top of the page. Local government structure changes as areas reorganise, so check that date before relying on a tier split, and where a bill or the electoral register disagrees with a lookup, the council named on the bill is the reliable answer.
What this site is not
Nothing here is financial, legal, tax, medical or other regulated advice, and no tool output is a quote, an offer, or a recommendation to act. Results are estimates from the stated assumptions; confirm anything that matters with a qualified, authorised professional before acting. Where we introduce you to a provider, we act as an introducer only: we do not advise on, arrange, or recommend between providers, and we never handle client money.
Accuracy and liability
We work to keep every figure current (each table shows its last-updated date) but make no warranty that content is error-free. To the extent permitted by law, Ellul Solutions Ltd accepts no liability for loss arising from reliance on this site. Links to external sites are provided for sourcing; we are not responsible for their content.
Embedding and citation
You may cite this site's data with attribution (a link to the page cited) and may use the embeddable widget where offered, unmodified. Scraping that removes attribution, or republishing tables wholesale without a link, is not permitted.
