Access Website Design
This website is designed to be like your own online Chard Town Council Office. Come in to our friendly reception to find out about Council services. We will direct you to the service you need whether it is provided by the Town, District or County Council. We provide a wealth of information on everything to do with Chard. Whether you visit us directly at the office or via this website, we will provide you with information accurately and clearly, so that you can find out what you need to know easily.
Make this your Home Page
If you live in Chard then make this your web home page. It will get you quickly to information you need as a resident. Go to 'Tools' then 'Internet options' and type in www.chard.gov.uk/ in the home page address box and 'ok'
Website Definition
This website is created on a definition level of 1152 x 864 pixels so is best viewed on that display setting. To increase text size go to 'View' and scroll down to text size. Then choose the size you want.
The site has been designed to be as legible as possible to all users and if you have any problems then we would like to know so that we can make the site as easy to access and use for everyone.
Website Tips
This website has been designed to link to as much useful information about Chard as possible. It includes Local Government Services and links to all kinds of local services available in the Town. Links will take you to websites provided by others. This website seeks to use the information available on many other sites with Chard information, instead of trying to rewrite everything in one place. If a link takes you to another site then either hit the backspace key to bring you back to this site or use your mouse to click on the back arrow on the tool bar top left. Go to the contact box on the left of this page if you wish to feed back to us your comments about this site, or anything else you think the Council should know.
Click on the Site Map box on the right to see a full index and description of contents. This will help you to find your way around the site quickly - just like going to the contents page of a book.
