Using this website
This website is managed and owned by Wembury Parish Council. We want 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 and
Listen to most of the website using a screen reader
We are working to make the website completely accessible to you as quickly as we can but due to various complications this is a work in progress. We will complete the changes as soon as we can and a plan as to how this will happen will be released shortly.
We’ve also tried to make the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Wembury 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 version 2.1 AA standard.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
Many of our older PDF documents may not meet accessibility standards – for example, they may not be structured so they are accessible to a screen reader. The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they are not essential to providing our services. However, if there is a particular document you need converting please let us know and if at all possible, we will update it.
Any new PDFs we publish will meet accessibility standards.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this transition.

YCE GRANT RECEIVED!
Wembury Parish Council are pleased to announce that the Yealm Community Energy Fund has granted us £2500 to go towards the planting of hundreds of tree and bush whips. This planting will not only enhance the park and encourage more walking but also contribute to increasing carbon uptake from the atmosphere. As an added bonus the wildlife will also greatly benefit from the increased habitat.
We would like to extend a very big thanks to Yealm Community Energy for their kind grant.
