Text Only
If you are still having problems reading our site we also
provide a "Text Only" version of every page. This is a version of
the website which does not show images, other graphical information
or design features.
High Contrast Version
In the right hand menu you will also see the high contrast
option. Selecting this option will show you an all text
version set with a black background with large yellow text - a
guideline colour scheme recommended by the RNIB.
The council website has been specially designed to allow you to
tailor the size of the text to suit you own needs.
