Accessibility
Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is committed to making its
website as accessible as possible to users with disabilities,
including users who may be blind or partially sighted.
The design of our website includes a number of accessibility
features including:
- a common design throughout
- ensuring that all images used in our
site are given appropriate alternative text descriptions ('ALT
texts')
- making information table structures
accessible by providing summaries and ID tags to aid read aloud
software (complying with section 508)
- in general, we try to avoid the use of
other proprietary publishing formats such as Shockwave Flash and
other media formats requiring third-party plug-ins. We use other
technologies, such as Javascript, appropriately to avoid creating
accessibility barriers

About the site
The website has been designed to be as accessible to as many
users as possible, using Internet Explorer 5 and above. Whilst the
main information pages are viewable with other browsers, some
specialised applications may give rise to problems. To get the best
from the colour images contained on these pages we recommend you
view with a colour depth greater than 256 colours.
