Accessibility Compliance and .gov.uk Domain

20th of November, 2024

We are excited to announce that Bunbury Parish Council has upgraded the Parish Council website, designed to enhance communication and accessibility for our community. This significant upgrade marks a major step in ensuring our online presence is compliant with the latest standards and regulations.

Accessibility and Compliance

Our website now adheres to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, making it more accessible to all members of our community, including those with visual impairments and disabilities. Compliance with these guidelines is not only a legal requirement in the UK, but it also reflects our commitment to inclusivity and transparency.

Moving to a .gov.uk Domain

In line with national guidelines set forth by the National Association of Local Councils (NALC), we have transitioned our domain name to a .gov.uk address. This change not only enhances our online credibility but also reinforces our dedication to providing official and reliable information to our residents. Using a .gov.uk domain is advised for Parish, Town, and Community Councils, and we are proud to comply with this recommendation.

Enhanced Email Communication

To further support our commitment to data protection and privacy, our Clerk had been assigned a dedicated .gov.uk email addresses. This move helps us align with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), ensuring that our communications are secure and that we are better able to protect your personal information.

Explore the Website

We encourage all residents to visit our website, where you can find essential information about council meetings, local initiatives, and community events. Our goal is to foster a stronger connection with our community through improved access to information and services.

Thank you for your continued support as we strive to enhance the way we serve you. We look forward to your feedback and hope you find our new website a valuable resource!
