The Regulation Committee Appeal Panel (Transport) of Kent Council met on Wednesday 2 September 2026. The primary item scheduled for discussion was an appeal concerning a transport-related matter. The meeting was scheduled to consider this appeal in an exempt session, meaning the press and public were likely to be excluded.

Appeal 1

The panel was scheduled to consider Appeal 1, a matter detailed across pages 3 to 28 of the public reports pack. The agenda indicated this was a MATTERS FOR DECISION item. Due to the nature of the information contained within the appeal documents, which were described as relating to any individual and potentially revealing the identity of an individual, the panel was expected to move into an exempt session. This would be conducted under Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972, which allows for the exclusion of the press and public when sensitive information is being discussed. The report pack does not specify the details of the appeal itself, only that it was scheduled for a decision by the panel.

The attendees for this meeting included Richard Streatfeild, Andy Ballard, Wayne Chapman (Deputy Cabinet Member for Communications and Engagement), Mary Lawes, Terry Mole, Hayley Savage, and Paul Stepto. The meeting was scheduled to be chaired by Andrew Ballard.
