Who changes postcodes?
Salford City Council is not responsible for postcode changes; these are implemented by the Royal Mail. Salford has seen major redevelopment in recent years which has led the Royal Mail to re-code some areas as there were insufficient postcodes available to serve the new properties. Changes in postal addressing are minimised wherever possible since all parties recognise that any change can cause inconvenience to those affected. How to request an address change Requests for changes in postal addressing should be made to the Traffic Management and Control Section at Urban Vision Partnership Limited. A scaled drawing and detailed explanation as to why the renaming is considered necessary should be submitted. There is a charge for this service – request an address change.
