Hi Niel
Is the TomTom postcode dataset free and public? If so, great - please
send a link! If not, the public needs access to an accurate, open, free
data set of postcode boundaries since their official custodian is a
public entity.
In an ideal world SAPO would provide this and we should push them to do so.
But in the meantime the best practical means to such a dataset it to
crowdsource it on a platform like OSM. Anyone aware of any such
initiatives or want to take the lead?
