Discretionary Transport Appeal Panel - Wednesday, 1st October, 2025 1.00 pm
October 1, 2025 View on council websiteSummary
The Discretionary Transport Appeal Panel, consisting of Councillors Anne Cross, Kathryn Field, Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group, and Councillor Paul Redstone, is scheduled to convene to discuss several items, primarily focusing on transport arrangements for pupils. A significant portion of the meeting is expected to be held in exclusion of the public and press due to the confidential nature of the information to be discussed. The meeting will be held at County Hall, Lewes.
Here's a breakdown of the key items on the agenda:
Transport Arrangements for Pupils
The panel is scheduled to consider transport arrangements for pupils as exceptions to the normal policy. This constitutes a significant portion of the meeting, with multiple cases listed for review:
- Case number 26/25
- Case number 27/25
- Case number 28/25
- Case number 29/25
- Case number 30/25
- Case number 31/25
- Case number 32/25
- Case number 33/25
- Case number 34/25
- Case number 35/25
- Case number 36/25
Report on Previous Cases
The panel is scheduled to review previous cases, specifically case numbers 18/23 and 20/25.
Exclusion of Public and Press
The agenda includes a section dedicated to the exclusion of the public and press. The reason cited for this exclusion is:
to consider excluding the public and press from the meeting for the remaining items of the agenda on the grounds that if the public and press were present there would be disclosure to them of exempt information as specified in Category 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended), namely information relating to any individual.
This indicates that the discussions will involve sensitive information about individuals, justifying the need for confidentiality under the Local Government Act 19721.
Exempt Minutes
The panel is scheduled to approve the exempt minutes of the previous meeting held on 30 July 2025.
Other Business
The agenda allows for discussion of urgent items, and any other non-exempt items considered urgent by the Chair. The date and time for future meetings is also scheduled to be discussed.
The DTAP public minutes 03.09.25 from the meeting held on 3 September 2025 are available.
