This website is run by Horsmonden Parish Council. We
want as many people as possible to be able to
use this website. For example,
that means you should be able to:
- zoom in
up to 300% without
the text spilling off the screen
- navigate
most of the
website using just a keyboard
- navigate
most of the
website using speech recognition software
- listen
to most of the
website using a screen reader (including the most recent
versions of JAWS,
NVDA and VoiceOver)
We have also made the website
text as simple as possible to
understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making
your device easier to use if you have a
disability.
