Website Accessibility - Our commitment
Marbury & District Parish Council is committed to making its website as accessible as reasonably practicable for everyone, including people with disabilities.
We aim to comply with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 and, where reasonably practicable, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Version 2.2 AA.
Using this website
We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. Wherever possible, users should be able to:
- zoom in without losing functionality;
- navigate most of the website using a keyboard;
- use screen reader software to access most content;
- view the website on desktop, tablet and mobile devices; and
- read information presented in plain English.
How accessible this website is
We are committed to continually improving the accessibility of our website. However, we are aware that some areas may not yet be fully accessible.
Examples may include:
- some older PDF documents, particularly those published before 23 September 2018, which may not be fully accessible to screen readers;
- documents supplied by external organisations that are outside the Council's control;
- occasional scanned historical documents which cannot easily be converted into accessible formats.
Where possible, new documents published by the Council will be prepared in an accessible format.
Requesting information in a different format
If you need information from this website in a different format, for example:
- accessible PDF;
- Microsoft Word;
- large print; or
- another suitable format,
please contact the Parish Clerk.
Email: [email protected]
The Council will consider all reasonable requests and will endeavour to provide the information in an alternative format wherever practicable.

We will investigate the matter and work with our website provider where appropriate to improve accessibility.
