Accessibility

This website is designed so that everyone can use it: people with poor eyesight, people who are not confident online, and people who browse only with a keyboard or a screen reader.

Help available

  • Large text. Open the globe button in the header and turn on “Large text”: the text gets bigger on every page. Your browser remembers this setting.
  • More contrast. In the same panel, “More contrast” makes secondary text darker, underlines links and outlines boxes.
  • Browser zoom. Press Ctrl and + (Cmd and + on a Mac) to enlarge the whole website up to 400% without having to scroll sideways.
  • Quick search. Use the magnifying glass button or press Ctrl/Cmd + K on any page.
  • Keyboard. You can do everything with Tab, Enter and Escape. There is a “Skip to content” link at the top of every page, and the focus is always visible.
  • Screen readers. Page regions, headings in order, labels on form fields, and a warning when a link opens in a new tab.
  • Less motion. If your device is set to reduce motion, animations are switched off.
  • By phone and in person. Anything you can do on the website you can also do by calling 93 897 10 01 or at the Town Hall offices.
