Accessibility Statement

This is the official Accessibility Statement for Bedminster Road Garage.

Keyboard Access

Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. This is useful for people who have difficutly using a mouse. On Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key.

All pages on this site define the following access keys:

  • Access key 1 - Home page
  • Access key 2 - MOT's Page
  • Access key 3 - Services Page
  • Access key 4 - Mechanics Page
  • Access key 5 - Contacts Page
  • Access key 0 - Accessibility statement

On each page a 'skip to main content' link allows direct access past the navigation bars to the page's main content, which should make it easier to read the pages content if you are using a screen-reader or other assistive technologies.

  • Access key S - Skip Navigation

Features to enhance the site's accessibility

The following features have been provided to help make our site as accessible as possible to as many people as possible:

  • All text should be resizable using your browser's text-resize option
  • If you use your own style sheet, it can be applied to allow changes in the site's appearance without affecting the readability or accessibility of the information
  • HTML heading elements have been used to represent page structure, supporting assistive technologies that allow page navigation from heading to heading
  • All hyperlinks should make sense when read out of context, and hyperlinks change colour when the destination page has been visited
  • All images have been given appropriate alternative text
  • A navigation bar linking to the main sections of the site is provided at the top and bottom of each page
