Issue - meetings

To consider a report of the Home to School Transport Task and Finish Group.

The Committee considered both the report of the Task and Finish Group and the Minority Report from Councillor Louise Brown. Arguments for and against each were put forward by the respective Members of the Committee and other Councillors.

The Chairman at the beginning of the item had noted that both reports would be put forward to Cabinet but suggested that the Committee should vote on which report would be endorsed. Seven Members voted in favour of the Minority Report, with five voting for the report of the Task and Finish Group. There was one abstention. As a result, it was decided that the Minority Report would be commended to Cabinet.

RESOLVED –

a)    That both the report of the Task and Finish Group and the Minority Report be put forward for consideration by Cabinet.

b)    That the Minority Report be endorsed by the Committee.
