Can you answer a question about WF8 9DS?
WF8 9DS is a large user postcode in Pontefract, Wakefield. It was first introduced in June 2019.
'Large User' postcodes are allocated to organisations which receive large amounts of post. Unlike standard geographic postcodes, which cover up to 80 addresses, a large user postcode is unique to a single address.
The geographic coordinates assigned to a large user postcode may not necessarily be the actual coordinates of the location to which mail is delivered. If the address is a PO Box, then the coordinates will usually be the Royal Mail sorting office which handles mail for that postcode. In other cases, the coordinates of the postcode may be the headquarters, or registered office, of an organisation rather than the building which receives mail.
Pontefract is a town, which had a population of 29,305 in the 2011 census.
WF8 9DS is in the Wakefield and Castleford travel to work area. NHS services are provided by the Wakefield District Primary Care Trust.
