We have tried to make this website accessible to everyone by complying with WAI AA accessibility standards. However, there are still a few areas of this website which do not currently meet these standards e.g. the Welland Planning Service Pages. We are working with our partners to ensure that all such areas meet the standards in the future.

We are also aware that some users experience problems viewing areas of the site, in particular when using some versions of the Safari browser - we are working to fix these issues, but we recommend that users ensure they have the latest version of their chosen browser.
