The Regulation Committee Appeal Panel (Transport) of Kent Council convened to address several items, primarily focusing on transport-related appeals. Due to the confidential nature of the appeals, the press and public were likely excluded from the majority of the meeting.

Transport Appeals

The main focus of the meeting was a series of appeals, numbered 1 through 6. These appeals were listed as exempt items, meaning that they were likely to be discussed in private due to the inclusion of information relating to individuals. The specific details of these appeals were not outlined in the public agenda, but were contained within the Public Reports Pack.

Exclusion of Press and Public

A motion was put forward to exclude the press and public from the meeting during the discussion of exempt items. This motion was based on Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972, which allows for the exclusion of the press and public when discussing information that is considered exempt under Schedule 12A of the Act. The specific exemptions cited were paragraphs 1 and 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A, relating to:

• 1. Information relating to any individual.
• 2. Information which is likely to reveal the identity of an individual

Other Business

The Agenda Frontsheet also included standard items such as:

• Substitutes: To note any substitutes for committee members.
• Urgent Items: To consider any other items that the Chair decides are urgent.
