The Reports (Accessible Copies)
Several of the official contamination reports for the Hillhouse site are public only in the narrow sense that they exist on Wyre Council’s website. Some are published through Issuu, a third-party page-flipping platform that cannot be reliably downloaded and does not work well with the screen readers and assistive technology that many people depend on.
So we have done the straightforward thing: mirrored the council’s own reports here as ordinary, downloadable PDF files, with a searchable text layer added where the original was a scanned image. Nothing in them has been altered. Each links back to the council’s own page so you can confirm they are the same documents.
This also serves as a permanent, timestamped public record. The files live in an open repository, github.com/AndrewMolloy/hillhouse-documents, so if a source document is ever amended, re-redacted or removed, the history preserves what was published and when.

These are Wyre Council’s own published reports, authored by WSP for the Environment Agency and Wyre Council. We host accessible copies because the council’s own platform is not accessible. If a public body objects to residents being able to read public environmental information, that would be worth knowing too.
