Issue - meetings

To determine appeals against the decision of the Council not to offer assisted school transport.

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.

In Cases 1 and 3, the respective appellant and the Presenting Officers were in attendance through consideration of each appeal.  After each appeal, the respective appellant and Presenting Officers withdrew from the meeting, following which the Committee reached its decision.

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

The appellant in Case 2 was not present and the appeal was, therefore, heard in her absence. The Presenting Officers presented the Local Authority’s case and the Committee considered the appellant’s written evidence only.  The Presenting Officers then withdrew from the meeting, following which the Committee reached its decision.

RESOLVED

That

(1)       Case No. 1    The appeal be REFUSED;

(2)       Case No. 2    The appeal be REFUSED; and

(3)       Case No. 3    The appeal be REFUSED
