Background 1.1 A request has been received from a Mr N Shore of 37 Holmwood Drive, Formby, L37 1PG to seek the support of the Council to an application to Royal Mail to include the town name of Formby within Royal Mail’s address fields for the defined postcode area of Liverpool L37. 2. Procedure 2.1 Royal Mail have advised that they are happy to consider this request and make any changes to the locality information for the addresses concerned, providing the additional information does not compromise the quality of the service and the efficiency of their operations. Royal Mail must therefore be provided with an acceptable and clearly defined set of geographical boundary data and a comprehensive list of addresses to identify the area. 2.2 Once they have received this information, then the will consult with their operations team to ascertain whether this proposal would cause any operational difficulties. 2.3 Assuming there are no operation issues, then Royal Mail will advise the names of those person/organisations who need to support the proposals, from the following: • Postwatch regional and national committees • The principal local authority • The local Chamber of Commerce • Members of Parliament. 2.4 Once Royal Mail have received all the necessary information and letters of support they will write to all properties affected giving them an opportunity to raise an objection to the proposal. 2.5 Assuming no more than 20% of those affected object to the change, then Royal Mail will amend the Postcode Address File database (PAF). 2.6 Should more than 20% of those affected object, then Royal Mail will ballot all those properties affected. Royal Mail will implement the change if not less than 50% of those polled respond, and a simple majority of households voting are in favour. 3. Current Position 3.1 Mr Shore has requested that the Council, as part of the procedure outlined above, support his application to Royal Mail to include the town name of Formby in their address fields for the defined postcode area of Liverpool L37. 3..2 As far as the Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG) is concerned, this change would not have much impact. The LLPG holds Formby as the town name for all addresses that have L37 postcodes. Council systems that use LLPG will have Formby in the address for L37 postcodes, so there shouldn't be any problems with correspondence to citizens from these. 3.3 The Electoral Registration Officer is now required to import all LLPG data into the Electoral Register as part of a data matching exercise. 3.4 The Area Committee is therefore requested to support the request to include the town name of Formby for properties within the defined area. A list of current streets held on the LLPG for Formby are attached to the report as Annex A 3.5 If the Area Committee is supportive of this matter the report, together with their recommendation will go on to be considered by the Cabinet at the next meeting on the 15 th April 2010. Providing the Cabinet is also supportive of the proposal, then a formal approach to be made to Royal Mail indicating that the Council would be supportive of the request that “Formby” be included within the address of properties within the relevant defined area. 4. Recommendations: 4.1 That Cabinet supports the request made by Mr N Shore of 37 Holmwood Drive, Formby, L37 1PG, to include the town name “Formby” in the address for properties within the defined area listed in Annex A to the report; and approved by Formby Area Committee on 18 March 2010.
