Accessibility improvement programme

Purley on Thames Parish Council recognises that the current website does not fully meet WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards.

The Council is actively working to improve the accessibility of its website and has commissioned a specialist parish council website provider to develop a new website designed to meet WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility requirements.

Work on the new website is currently underway and it is expected to go live during Spring 2026.

In the interim period, the Council will continue to review and improve the accessibility of the existing website where reasonably practicable.

The Council keeps the accessibility of its website under regular review as part of its digital governance responsibilities and will continue to make reasonable improvements where practicable.

The Council will review this accessibility statement periodically and when significant changes are made to the website.
