Navigation and accessing information

The Card Holder Name and Date of Birth fields in the forms for buying a York Card or a Child York Card do not have descriptive labels which fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.6 (Headings and Labels).

The links in the information popup boxes on the Where Can You Save? page can only be accessed with a keyboard by first tabbing through all the other links in the page which fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 3.2.3 (Consistent Navigation).

We are working to find a solution to both of these issues.
