Hi,

Has anyone seen how the DWP is defining the boundaries of Falmouth and Truro.

I understand that the Bolton and Medway trials used local authority boundaries, but I cannot see that Falmouth and Truro have local authority - level boundaries.

Are they using postcode data? Or town council level boundaries? Or are they using the constituency boundary?

Maybe linked to the Jobcentre Plus offices in Truro and Penryn (which covers Falmouth)?

I think nthe Bolton one use the catchment area of the JCPs as it would be very difficult to disentangle LA boundaries with JCP area boundaries unsing the same initial postcode. These can go over Bury Bolton LAS boundaries M26 BL2.
