Accessibility and help
Welcome to Moat, our website has been designed to meet Accessibility Standards Level Two. These standards are defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (WC3/508), and the international web standards body Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
How do I move around the site?
If you want to go to another area of the site, click with your mouse when your cursor is over a link. Whenever your cursor looks like a hand rather than an arrow, it means you can click and go to another page.
You can go to any of the main sections (e.g. 'Residents' services', 'Contact us') by clicking on the buttons in the main navigation menu. These appear on every page.
Darker text that is underlined when your cursor is over it indicates a link that you can click on to go to a new page.
How can I find what I need on your site?
Search
Each page has a search box. Type a key word or phrase, e.g. "repair", into the search box and click the Go button. A list of links to pages containing your search word will come up.
I find using a mouse difficult - how else can I get around?
Arrow keys and Tab
First, try using the arrow keys on your keyboard. The up and down arrow keys will help with scrolling. You can also jump to the top and bottom of the page uisng the page up and page down keys.
To move through the site, try using your Tab key, followed by the Return key.
The text is too small for me to read - how can I change it?
The quickest way to change text size is to click one of the a's on the top left of the page. The biggest a will give you the biggest text size, and so on.
You can also customise your browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator or similar programme) to make the text larger.
If you are using Internet Explorer, choose View then Text size and select Medium, Larger or Largest.
Similarly in Netscape, choose View then Increase text size.
