The Regulation Committee Appeal Panel (Transport) of Kent Council was scheduled to consider five appeals as part of its meeting on Tuesday 4 August 2026. The panel's agenda indicated that these appeals would be heard as exempt items, meaning the press and public would likely be excluded from these discussions.

Appeals for Decision

The primary focus of the meeting was the consideration of five separate appeals, each detailed in the provided report pack. These appeals were listed as Matters for Decision and were scheduled to be heard in private session.

  • Appeal 1: This appeal was documented on pages 3 to 104 of the public reports pack.
  • Appeal 2: This appeal was documented on pages 105 to 146 of the public reports pack.
  • Appeal 3: This appeal was documented on pages 147 to 210 of the public reports pack.
  • Appeal 4: This appeal was documented on pages 211 to 288 of the public reports pack.
  • Appeal 5: This appeal was documented on pages 289 to 320 of the public reports pack.

The agenda also noted that the panel would consider a motion to exclude the press and public from the meeting. This was to be done under Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972, on the grounds that the discussions would likely involve the disclosure of exempt information relating to individuals.

The attendees for this meeting were listed as Wayne Chapman (Deputy Cabinet Member for Communications and Engagement), Mary Lawes, Colin Sefton, Paul Stepto, and Thomas Mallon. The meeting was scheduled to take place at 9:15 am in Room C1.1, Sessions House, County Hall, Maidstone. Andrew Ballard was the contact person for the meeting.
