The Regulation Committee Appeal Panel (Transport) was scheduled to consider five appeals as matters for decision. The meeting was also set to address panel business, including substitutes, and potentially urgent other items.

Matters for Decision

The panel was scheduled to consider five separate appeals, each detailed in the provided report pack. These appeals, labelled Appeal 1 through Appeal 5, were the primary focus of the meeting. The report pack indicates that these matters were presented for decision by the panel.

  • Appeal 1: This appeal was detailed across pages 3 to 76 of the public reports pack.
  • Appeal 2: This appeal was detailed across pages 77 to 102 of the public reports pack.
  • Appeal 3: This appeal was detailed across pages 103 to 132 of the public reports pack.
  • Appeal 4: This appeal was detailed across pages 133 to 190 of the public reports pack.
  • Appeal 5: This appeal was detailed across pages 191 to 236 of the public reports pack.

The agenda also included a motion to exclude the press and public from the meeting for certain exempt items. This exclusion was proposed on the grounds that the business involved the likely disclosure of exempt information, specifically relating to any individual or information that could reveal an individual's identity, as defined by Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972.

The attendees for this meeting were Wayne Chapman (Deputy Cabinet Member for Communications and Engagement), Bridget Porter, Geoffrey Samme, Dodger Sian (Vice-Chairman of the Council), and Paul Stepto. The meeting was scheduled to be held in the Darent Room, Sessions House, County Hall, Maidstone.
