Site Help

Site Help Brentwood Borough Council has tried to make this site easy for anyone to use, from experienced Internet users to complete beginners, but if you are stuck, this section is here to help you.

Getting around the site:

Home Page
The start page is known as the home page. From this page you will be able to access all of the sections of this site.

The main sections are then subdivided into additional sections, which are displayed on the right hand side of the page.  These sections are often subdivided again. If you go to the wrong page use the Back button on your browser or use the Main Sections drop down list.
