Design of this website
This website is run by Luxulyan Parish Council. The Council wants as many people
as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should
be able to:
- change colours,
contrast levels and fonts
- 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’ve 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.
See Feedback and Contact Information below if you find any problems with this website.
Please note
- Links to external websites and to PDF documents will open in another window.
- Heading Levels 5 and 6 are used on most of these pages because of their visual impact. This means that sometimes there will be skipped heading levels between the Page Title and Heading Level 5 or 6.

Luxulyan Parish Council is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
Non-compliance with the WCAG Version 2.1AA
- PDF and WORD documents older than May 2020 are not fully accessible to screen reader software. They are not bookmarked, so you cannot skip to the main content when using a screen reader. This does not meet Criterion 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value.
- Parish Council Policies. Some policies have not been fully bookmarked and this should be complete by November 2020.

Disproportionate burden

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.

If you would like a copy of any of these documents in a different format, please see Feedback and Contact Information below.
