Introduction Accessibility Across UK Local Authorities
Accessibility across UK Local Authorities Socitm and Sitemorse collaboration – supporting BetterConnected Introduction Digital accessibility regulation is challenging to manage and is negatively impacting those for whom the rules should be assisting. Public sector bodies must deal with accessibility, against a timetable. Now with a specific timeline in relation to the public sector achieving accessibility compliance for their websites, we have summarised our Q3 / 2019 results, reporting the position across the sector. For over 10 years Sitemorse have been in partnership with Socitm, working on numerous initiatives including BetterConnected. Sept. 29th 2019 | Ver. 1.9 | Release | © Sitemorse In Summary. For the Sitemorse 2019 Q3 UK Local Government INDEX we assessed over 400 authority websites for adherence to WCAG 2.1. The INDEX was compiled 37% following some 250 million tests, checks and measures across nearly 820,000 URLs. 17% Comparing the Q3 to the Q2 results; 49 improved, 44 dropped, with the balance remaining the same. Three Local Authorities achieved a score of 10 (out of 10) for accessibility. It’s important to note that the INDEX covers the main website of each authority. The law applies to all websites operated, directly or on behalf of the authority. 46% The target score is 7.7 out of 10. • Pages passing accessibility level A: 87.11% • Pages passing accessibility level AA: 12.2% • Of the 3,550 PDF’s 56.4% PDF’s passed the accessibility tests. Score 10 - 7 Score 5 - 6 Score 1 - 4 It is important to note that this score is for automated tests; there are still manual tests that need to be performed however, a score of 10 demonstrates a thorough understanding of what needs to be done and it is highly likely that the manual tests will pass too. -

Vegetation Management Site Specification – Wokingham to Reading
Wessex Route CP6 Year 1 - Vegetation Management Site Specification – Wokingham to Reading 1. Site of Work Wokingham Station to Reading Station 2. Vegetation Management Overview The line of route between Wokingham and Reading is generally a heavily wooded urban area, which narrows in places and runs through a series of cuttings and embankments. Management of lineside vegetation between Wokingham and Reading has been overlooked in recent years and as a result, this route now tops Network Rail Wessex’s priority list for vegetation management. Lineside vegetation along this route is to be managed in order to prevent it causing obstruction and damage to either the rail network or to our lineside neighbours. In considering the work required, several criteria have been considered: • All lines of route must have a safe cess (walkway) for staff who are required to walk along the lineside to carry out their duties. A minimum 7 metre wide cut-back of vegetation has been specified in order to maintain a 6 metre wide vegetation-free corridor either side of the outermost rails. • Embankments supporting the railway tracks generally need vegetation to be retained at the bottom third of their slope in order to maintain stability at the toe of the embankment. In certain circumstances all vegetation is removed to allow for retaining structures to be installed. Where vegetation has the potential to cause an issue to Network Rail’s lineside neighbours it is to be removed. • There are several cutting slopes (where the railway is lower in elevation than the surrounding terrain) on the Wokingham to Reading route. -
