Can you answer a question about KA1 3BU?
KA1 3BU is a large user postcode in Kilmarnock. It was first introduced in January 1980.
'Large User' postcodes are allocated to organisations which receive large amounts of post. Unlike standard geographic postcodes, which cover up to 80 addresses, a large user postcode is unique to a single address.
To the best of our knowledge, the current address of this postcode is:
East Ayrshire Council, Dick Institute, Elmbank Avenue, Kilmarnock KA1 3BU.
The geographic coordinates assigned to a large user postcode may not necessarily be the actual coordinates of the location to which mail is delivered. If the address is a PO Box, then the coordinates will usually be the Royal Mail sorting office which handles mail for that postcode. In other cases, the coordinates of the postcode may be the headquarters, or registered office, of an organisation rather than the building which receives mail.
KA1 3BU is in the Kilmarnock and Irvine travel to work area. NHS services are provided by the East Ayrshire Community Health Partnership Primary Care Trust.
KA1 3BU is approximately 40m (131ft) above sea level.
