Content produced by third parties or using third party software. Disproportionate Burden We currently do not consider that any parts of the website fall under this category. CONTENT NOT WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE ACCESSIBILITY REGULATIONS. PDFs and other documents Many of our older PDFs and Word documents do not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they are accessible to a screen reader. The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23rd September 2018 if they are not essential to providing our services. For example, we do not plan to fix documents such as agendas, minutes and financial documents prior to 2018. Any new PDFs or Word documents the Council publish will aim to meet accessibility standards, unless these documents are in a format which cannot be made accessible easily. If you are unable to access any document on this website due to its format, please contact the Clerk via the methods mentioned above. What is being done to improve accessibility We will be running regular accessibility checks and ensure that new content added to the website meets accessibility requirements where possible. Preparation of this accessibility statement This statement was prepared on 11th July 2025 and will be reviewed on at least an annual basis. The website was last tested on 23rd December 2025. The test was carried out via Winsford Town Council (self-evaluation) on representative pages following the Government accessibility checklist. We focused on the most popular website pages to test, including the homepage and the meetings documents page.
