As pathetic as it is I can't see it ever changing. What happend to the campaign to get our own council back, I signed the petitions but haven't heard anything since.
The postcodes have nothing to do with which local council is in control of a town. The Royal Mail introduced them from 1959 to 1974 to automate mail sorting. In 1974, I heard from somewhere that postcodes went off the nearest MAIN train stations where mail bags for the district were dropped off and sorted out. Although I can't find anything on the Internet to see if this is correct, this could explain why places like St Helens, Merseyside, has a Warrington postcode and Buxton, Derbyshire, has a Stockport postcode.
