For the research we use the site for, the Postcode location remains the simplest, quickest and easiest way by which to identify a site's location, using your interactive map. Once we've identified the exact location, we use Output and Super Output data and postcodes to us are then irrelevant. The fact is using XY co-ordinates for example would be a pain for our business, simply because everyone knows their postcodes, few know the co-ordinates of their property. We ned to drill down to very small areas for Demographic information and the sizes of Output areas, in most cases, is ideal for us in the work we do. We wouldn't want to see their size increased and especially for comparing past data, changing them could cause us problems. It depends what benefits there are to be had by changing the boundaries. I can't see any change is needed from our perspective, the site, the data, being able to search using postcodes to pull up your map and the boundaries work for us and very well too!
