Benefits of creating an accessible version

The benefits of creating a HTML version of this PDF would be:

• a fully accessible version for all users to access
• an easily searchable and indexable version

By making the strategy accessible, we demonstrate our commitment to transparency, encourage residents and stakeholders to engage with our initiatives, and can clarify how changes fit into broader environmental goals, helping residents understand the benefits and encouraging them to participate actively.

Having the strategy available online ensures anyone can find it at their convenience, reducing the need for direct inquiries and improving efficiency.

Burden placed on the organisation

The document is extensive and will take considerable time to convert. There are a number of tables and charts in the report which would be difficult to convert to an accessible version placing a disproportionate burden on the organisation.

Contributing factors

We will assist with accessible versions on request.

Assessment

Having considered the estimated effort involved in creating a HTML version, this document will be placed on the website as a PDF. However, officers will continue to investigate the possability of converting to a webpage as resource allows.
