Accessibility Statement

Last reviewed: October 2026

This accessibility statement applies to the Talybont-on-Usk Community Council website.

Talybont-on-Usk 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.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.

For example, you should be able to:

• zoom in without the text becoming unusable
• navigate the website using a keyboard
• use the website on a mobile phone, tablet or desktop computer
• use browser or device settings to change colours, contrast and text size
• access meaningful page headings and links
• enlarge images where this option is provided

We also aim to use clear language, descriptive link text and accessible PDF documents wherever possible.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard due to the issues described below.

Content that may not be fully accessible

Some parts of this website may not yet fully meet accessibility standards.

These may include:

• older PDF documents that were created before the current website was developed
• scanned or historic documents that may not contain fully accessible text
• some third-party embedded content, such as Google Maps, which is outside the Council’s direct control
• older images that may not yet have complete alternative text
• documents supplied to the Council by other organisations

We are working to improve the accessibility of content as it is reviewed or replaced.

Where new documents are published, we aim to provide searchable and accessible PDFs wherever practical.

PDFs and other documents

Many Council documents, including agendas, minutes, reports and financial information, are published as PDF files.

We aim to ensure that newly created PDFs are:

• searchable rather than image-only scans
• structured clearly
• readable using common assistive technologies
• given meaningful filenames and link descriptions

Some historic documents may not meet these standards.

If you need a document in a different format, please contact us.
