How accessible this website is
We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:
- There are some issues navigating the Map views for people using keyboard navigation or screen readers
- When adding a new property and navigating backwards there will be times when the address entered will not be remembered and will have to be input again
- Some of the tabular data for Property Records may not be easy to understand for people using screen readers
- The Size filtering options in Search results may not be easy to understand for people using screen readers
- There is no warning or option to extend your session before it times out and forces you to log in again
- There are some colour contrast issues with placeholder text in some form fields
- When filters are applied to the Search functionality, sighted users will see a message telling them that results are being loaded. This will not be announced to people using screen readers
