Google maps
Google maps is used as a studio tour on our studio overview page. We are aware of a few technical issues with google maps such as links, buttons and images with no text. These issues will affect blind and deafblind users. The functionality is supplementary to the page and is not the main focus of the page. Google maps is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations because it is neither funded, developed by, or under the control of Leeds City Council.

Some links across the site do not have discernible text. Most of these are content errors that we are actively working to resolve. The mobile menu button also has missing text.
