The dropdown items in the navigation are not accessible using only a keyboard. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criteria 2.1.1 Keyboard (A).
Leeds City Council logo
The Leeds City Council logo above the header has no accessible text available to users who are unable to see images.

Colour contrast

Multiple instances of the same ID
