This accessibility statement applies to brightlingseatowncouncil.gov.uk.
This website is run by Brightlingsea Town Council. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
- we’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
While we have made every effort to make the site as accessible as possible, the fact we have to use PDF to show documents does make this impossible in some instances. We are hoping to address this in the future but please contact us if you have any issues or need help.
If you need information on this website in a different format like accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille please get in touch:
- call 01206 303535
- pop in to the Parish Hall
- We’ll consider your request and get back to you in a few working days.
If you cannot view the map on our ‘contact us’ page, call or email us for directions.
