HPBC have reported Dragonfly Environmental to Derbyshire Police for allegedly falsifying laboratory testing certificates supporting contaminated land reports, submitted under the planning regime. Both Derbyshire and Bolton trading standards have also been informed.
It appears that testing certificates have been obtained from the internet, and then site information altered to make it appear that the client was Dragonfly Environmental. In each case the laboratories confirmed that they have never worked for Dragonfly, and the results related to different sites undertaken for other clients. If you are aware of any site reports undertaken by Dragonfly, you are advise to contact the laboratories to confirm the validity of the results.
