School Transport Appeals

The committee was scheduled to consider school transport appeals. This agenda item included a timetable of appeals, briefing notes prepared by the Director of Children and Young People's Futures, and representations from individuals who had lodged appeals. The report pack indicated that these matters would be considered in Part II of the meeting, meaning the press and public would be excluded. This exclusion was recommended on the grounds that the discussions were likely to involve the disclosure of exempt information, specifically relating to the financial affairs of individuals, and that the public interest in maintaining this confidentiality outweighed the public interest in disclosure.

The agenda also listed Deferred Appeals as an item to be taken in the absence of the public and press. This item was intended to note any appeals that had been determined under urgency procedures following members' route walks arising from the previous meeting.

The meeting was scheduled to take place at County Hall, Topsham Road, Exeter, Devon, EX2 4QD.
