Veronica Judith Colleton Wadley, Baroness Fleet, CBE (born 28 February 1952) is a board member of Arts Council England (2010–present).
Wadley was born in Chelsea to Lieutenant Colonel Neville Pierce Wadley, MC, and Anne, daughter of Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Hautayne Bowring, Royal Field Artillery, of a landed gentry family of Larkbeare, Exeter descended from Sir John Bowring, fourth Governor of Hong Kong.
[6] This came to a head in the run-up to the 2008 London mayoral election, in which Wadley's newspaper attacked Livingstone's record.
[8] The Guardian reported, "The market research evidently discovered that Londoners considered the Standard to be too negative."
She oversaw the delivery of youth volunteering and employment programmes and co-ordinated the Mayor's relationship with London's diverse charities.
Greenhouse is a charity set up in 2002 to provide sports programmes for London secondary schools and academies in areas of high unemployment.
[9] Previously she was a trustee of Northern Ballet (2009–2013) and advisory board member of Arts and Business (2009–2012) and conference chair of Editorial Intelligence (2009–2010).
