Issue - meetings

The Committee is asked to determine an appeal against the decision of the Council not to offer assisted school transport to the appellant’s child.

A copy of the ‘Post 16 Transport Policy’ is enclosed and has been applied to this case.

The Sub-Committee considered an appeal against the decision of the Cheshire East Transport Service not to allow assisted school transport, in accordance with the Council’s Under 16 School Transport Policy.

The appellant was not in attendance and the Sub-Committee heard the appeal based on the appellant’s written evidence, the oral and written evidence presented by the Presenting Officer, who detailed the Local Authority’s case, and the oral representations by Ward Councillor D Mahon, who spoke in support of the appeal.

Members of the Sub-Committee asked questions of both parties by way of clarification.  Councillor Mahon and the Presenting Officer were also able to ask questions by way of clarification.

Councillor Mahon and the Presenting Officer then withdrew from the meeting, following which the Sub-Committee reached its decision.

RESOLVED:

That the appeal be DECLINED.
