Throughout the council website there are many forms and files that can be downloaded. Throughout the website these are some of the icons you may see and what they are:

Files you will find on this website

Icon and File Type	Description
Adobe PDF	This is the format for the majority of files on this website. They can be read on most computers for free and can be easily printed.
Microsoft Excel	Microsoft's spreadsheet format produced by Excel. This is used for information largely composed of numbers and calculations. We do try to convert these to PDF as compatibility outside of Microsoft Excel, Mac and Linux is not 100% guaranteed.
Microsoft Word	Microsoft's word processor document format produced by Word. Largely replaced with PDF documents now.
Zip Archive	A zip archive is a special kind of file that is like a suitcase containing more than one file that is squeezed down (compressed) into a smaller size allowing for quicker downloads and bundling related information together.
Windows Media Video	Microsoft's primary video file format
Quicktime	Apple's primary video file format
