Calendars, Ticket Sales, Events, News & Directory
Welcome to Montgomery Wales
Built with the community and tourist in mind, the Montgomery Wales website is developed to cater to those needs - from interactive calendars, on line booking systems, community publication upload systems allowing for inclusion, independence and involvement.
The community is where Montgomery Wales finds it's inspiration and energy to develop and move forward only at a pace that is deemed appropriate to the nature and environment of the community - there are no pop up advertisements, no sale banners, no flashy text or suggested sites to navigate to through pay per click - this is just Montgomery Wales as you would find it if you were to visit, vibrant, relaxing and welcoming.
Built and developed by G17, using the very best in open source and the developer community.

Accessibility Statement
Montgomery Town Website Accessibility Notes and Actions
At the April 2020 Town Council meeting the Council decided that they would like to be proactive in improving website accessibility. The Council have supported the Town Clerk in attending a training session related to Website Accessibility and have also setup a working party comprising of:
Town Clerk (Glenys Smith)
Website Manager (G17 - Adam Cusack)
Councillor (Gwil Stephenson)
The working party met on 12th August and the results were to:
• to decide what objective criteria could be used;
• decide which tools should be use;
• to place a document on, or linked to, the website explaining what progress was being made
• to ask users to feed back information about any issues that were causing difficulties
• report back to the September 2020 meeting of the Council
• to meet regular to review progress
The working party was keen that the Accessibility Document should also be accessible! Not too long and clear in what the current state of our website is and what our aspirations are for the future.
The following links maybe of use to anyone examining the topic:

This includes publishing accessibility statements, explaining how accessible their websites are.
The Deadline for public sector organisations to make existing websites accessible is 23rd October 2020, and the compliance date for mobile applicants is 23rd June 2021
It was noted by the MTC Working Party was that the deadline of 23rd September probably does not apply to websites that are not full public sector sites; (e.g. public sector sites of use the official domain endings gov.uk, gov.wales, llyw.cymru etc.)
