www.luton.gov.uk: Accessibility — week 2026-W45

Automated Accessibility Conformance Report (OpenACR): Download ACR. Machine-readable; compatible with GSA OpenACR tooling. Automated tools find ~⅓ of real barriers — supplement with manual AT testing.

Training priorities

Top WCAG success criteria by pages affected this week. Use these to focus team training on the highest-impact issues.

SC	Criterion	Pages	Rules
2.1.1	Keyboard Access	485	1

Clusters are fingerprinted by normalized selector path + rule id + snippet shape. Rank score = (severity weight × pages affected) / distinct components for the rule. Clustered observations are review candidates, not verified fixes or ownership assignments.

Top 10 observed component clusters for review.

Description

All page content should be contained by landmarks. Detected by axe-core rule region on 980 of 1000 scanned pages (980 instances).

Steps to reproduce

Open https://www.luton.gov.uk/planning-building-control/planning/conservation-design-natural-environment/find-tree-preservation-order?f%5B0%5D=localgov_directories_facets%3A106&f%5B1%5D=localgov_directories_facets%3A122&f%5B2%5D=localgov_directories_facets%3A166&f%5B3%5D=localgov_directories_facets%3A201&f%5B4%5D=localgov_directories_facets%3A235&f%5B5%5D=localgov_directories_facets%3A247.
Locate the element: .focusable
Confirm the axe-core finding for rule region.

Impact

Not captured by automated scan — requires manual testing.

Affected pages

980 distinct URL(s) in the stored evidence. Query variants remain distinct. The URL evidence is complete; the list below may be a sample.

…and more — all 980 pages (CSV).

Testing environment

Automated: axe-core, headless Chromium (Playwright). Manual AT verification: Not captured by automated scan — requires manual testing.

Suggested fix

How to fix: Wrap all page content in landmarks (header, nav, main, footer) so users can navigate by region.

Drupal tip: Use Drupal's region system (header, navigation, main, sidebar, footer) and map each to an HTML5 landmark element in your theme's page.html.twig.

Cross-engine ACT evidence

These counts group engine rules by their canonical ACT rule and affected page. A shared key is not proof that both engines tested the same element.

ACT rule/page groups: 3891
Groups with both engines: 0
Groups with axe only: 980
Groups with Alfa only: 2911

No ACT rule/page groups were mapped by both engines this week.
