Generalisation whilst keeping fill

I have dissolved six position postal code areas (~ street part level) to create four position postal code areas (~ neighbourhoud level). Naturally, this has resulted in some strange shapes and multipart features (see below; selected area is a single feature).

 

I want to generalise these features and make them singlepart features, without losing the fact that the individual shapes share boundaries. Is there a way to do this?

That is already what I feared. I will see what I can do.

Thanks to everyone for their answers!

(I don't know what is usual behaviour here: closing the conversation as 'answered', although my question is not answered, or leaving it open for an undetermined 'eternity'?)

Looking at it again, Simplify Polygon (Cartography) will probably get you pretty far. This tool requires an Standard license.

Although you may have to do something with the multiparts first...
