This accessibility statement applies to www.llangynidrcouncil.org.uk. This website is run by Llangynidr Community Council. The function of the website is to enable access to the minutes of the council, other statutory documents and to publish news items for the residents. We want everyone from the ward to be able to use this website and other interested people as well. 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 VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Llangynidr Community Council is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

  • non-compliances - this means the content in question is in scope of the regulations, but there’s an accessibility problem with it
  • an exemption - this means the inaccessible content is out of scope of the regulations, or it’d be a disproportionate burden for you to make it accessible

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and the exemptions’ listed below:

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons

The Accessibility Statement is on the News and Notices, and is accessible from the Home page.

The text of the website does not always have a good contrast.

Not all pictures have captions. The 3 views of Llangynidr on the home page are decorative. The pictures of councillors are text with alternative text.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

PDFs and other documents

Some of our PDFs are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with council minutes and agendas. By September 2020, we plan to either fix these.

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. For example, we do not plan to fix minutes or agendas earlier than 23 September 2018.

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
