Issue - meetings

To determine appeals against the decision of the Council not to offer assisted school transport.   A copy of the following policy is enclosed -

·                Under 16 School Transport Policy

Cases have been scheduled as follows –

The Committee considered three appeals against the decision of the Integrated Transport Service not to allow assisted school transport, in accordance with the Council’s Transport Policy.

The appellant in Case 1 was not present, and the appeal was, therefore, heard in absentia.  The Presenting Officer outlined the Local Authority’s case and the Committee considered the appellant’s written evidence only.

In Case 2, the appellants and Presenting Officer were in attendance throughout consideration of the appeal. In Case 3, the appellant and Presenting Officer were in attendance throughout consideration of the appeal.

The Committee carefully considered the evidence presented to it both orally and in writing.

RESOLVED:

That

(1)       Case 1           the appeal be upheld;

(2)       Case 2           the appeal be refused; and

(3)       Case 3           the appeal be refused.
