The Regulation Committee Appeal Panel (Transport) of Kent Council was scheduled to consider six appeals. These appeals were heard in private due to the likely disclosure of exempt information relating to individuals.

Matters for Decision

The primary focus of the meeting was to consider six appeals, each detailed in separate sections of the public reports pack. These appeals were designated as Appeal 1 through Appeal 6. The reports pack provided extensive documentation for each appeal, with the details for Appeal 1 spanning pages 3 to 26, Appeal 2 from pages 27 to 76, Appeal 3 from pages 77 to 162, Appeal 4 from pages 163 to 202, Appeal 5 from pages 203 to 230, and Appeal 6 from pages 231 to 300.

The agenda indicated that these matters were for decision, and the reports pack was prepared to inform these decisions. However, the available information does not specify the nature of the appeals or any outcomes. The meeting was scheduled to take place in the Medway Room, Sessions House, County Hall, Maidstone.

The meeting was scheduled to begin with panel business, including the appointment of substitutes. Following this, there was an item for other urgent matters that the Chair might decide upon. The agenda also included a motion to exclude the press and public from the meeting for the consideration of exempt items, citing Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972. This exclusion was based on the grounds that the business involved the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act, which relate to information about individuals and information that could reveal an individual's identity.

The Deputy Chief Executive, Benjamin Watts, prepared the reports pack, which was dated Wednesday, 5 August 2026. The meeting was scheduled to be chaired by Councillor Mary Lawes, with other attendees including Councillor Thomas Mallon, Councillor Bridget Porter, Councillor Colin Sefton, and Councillor Paul Stepto.
