Ex council officer convicted of falsifying air quality data

Ann-Marie Wade of Durrington in Wiltshire falsified air quality data in Waverley Borough Council’s 2016 air quality report, which was published in May 2017. 

She was charged with three counts under section 1 of the Fraud Act 2006. Wade pleaded guilty to twice claiming that false air quality readings were genuine, but denied the third charge alleging that she made false claims for mileage payments related to replacing diffusion tubes.
