Finding information

There are many ways to find information on the website

• You can go to the A-Z index from every page on the site by clicking A-Z along the top of the page. Select the initial letter of the service you require. Each A-Z page lists the services in alphabetical order.
• A link to the Sitemap also appears on every page of the website. The sitemap lists all the pages in each category of the website.
• The Search appears on every page and allows you to search the whole site for specific information.
• The navigation on the left of every page is consistent across the whole site to make finding information easier. Links in the left hand navigation show the main sections of the site. Click on a section and all sub-sections will appear beneath it.
• A ‘breadcrumb trail’ appears on every page (except the homepage) above the page title. E.g. Home > Leisure > Outdoor sports > Football pitches. This helps you to locate where you are in relation to the whole site. You can also click on any text in the breadcrumb trail to navigate.

The online forms contain text fields, drop down menus and checkboxes. You should type responses to the questions in the blank boxes and select options from the drop down menus and checkboxes. Mandatory fields are identified as 'required'. You must provide a response in these fields in order to submit the form.

You can tab between fields, drop downs and checkboxes or use your mouse to navigate. Click the "Submit information" button to send the completed form to the council. Forms can be accessed from the main forms page.
