Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Kent and are not the council. About us

The Regulation Committee Appeal Panel (Transport) of Kent Council met on Wednesday 19 August 2026. The primary focus of the meeting was to consider a series of appeals, with the panel scheduled to review six separate cases. Due to the nature of the information involved, much of the meeting was likely to be held in private.

Matters for Decision

The bulk of the meeting was dedicated to Matters for Decision, specifically a series of six appeals. The report pack indicates that the panel was scheduled to consider:

  • Appeal 1
  • Appeal 2
  • Appeal 3
  • Appeal 4
  • Appeal 5
  • Appeal 6

The agenda documents do not specify the nature of these appeals or the individuals or organisations involved. However, the agenda notes that the press and public were to be excluded from these discussions. This exclusion was based on Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972, which allows for the exclusion of the public when a meeting is likely to involve the disclosure of exempt information. This type of information is defined in the Act as relating to any individual or being likely to reveal the identity of an individual. 1


  1. Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972 governs the exclusion of the public from meetings when confidential information is to be discussed. Schedule 12A of the same Act specifies categories of information that may be considered exempt, including information relating to individuals.
