Listen to this website with Browsealoud

You can now listen to the Council’s website using Browsealoud, a free tool that reads web pages to you and highlights words as it reads them. Many other websites offer this facility, including Google and the BBC.

By offering this service we aim to help people with:

Low literacy and reading skills
English as a second language
Dyslexia
Mild visual impairments

It does not replace other screen readers.
