Thanks for the feedback. On TOS: the same answer as I gave others... the data is statutorily public, I respect rate limits. That being said, I admit it's a grey area I haven't 100% nailed down. The postcode bug is more concerning. That shouldn't happen. Do you mind sharing which postcode or city/county? It could be that it's falling back to the wrong council because I don't have data for the right one, or it's a bug in my mapping. Either way, it needs fixing asap! Cheers for flagging.
