Accessibility Statement

Westbury Town Council’s commitment to website accessibility
We are committed to making our website as accessible as possible. We want everyone to be able to use it, no matter what their disabilities and which technologies they are using.

We have updated this website taking best-practice web accessibility guidelines into account, including GOV.UK

Adapting your experience to your needs
We have made the site as usable as we can, but you might have a better experience if you change the settings on your computer to suit your individual needs.

For example, you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • 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

For help customising your experience using accessibility features already on your computer, or by installing extra assistive technologies, try these sites:
