website can be accessed and used effectively by the vast

Compliance
This website has been built to closely adhere to as many
web standards as appropriate, reference has been sought from the
Disability Discrimination Act, PAS 78, W3C Web Accessibility

Interactive Maps
Interactive maps are inherently not Accessible, current
technology does not make 'GIS Mapping' accessible, for this we
apologise but assure users that when
affordable technology enables this, we will seek to
update.
