The Appeals Sub-Committee (School Transport) of Wiltshire Council met on Tuesday 15 September 2026. The primary item on the agenda was to consider and determine a school transport appeal. The meeting was scheduled to take place in the Riverside Room at the Council Offices, Monkton Park, Chippenham.

School Transport Appeal

The main focus of the meeting was a school transport appeal. The committee was scheduled to consider the case presented by an officer, the submission from the appellant, and relevant transport policy and law. The officer's report, which formed a significant part of the documentation, covered pages 11 to 140. The appellant's submission and supporting evidence were detailed in documents spanning pages 141 to 176. Further background information on the relevant transport policy and law was provided across pages 177 to 268.

The agenda indicated that this item would be considered in Part II of the meeting, with the recommendation that the press and public be excluded due to the likelihood of disclosure of exempt information. This exclusion was to be in accordance with section 100A (4) of the Local Government Act 1972, where the public interest in withholding the information was considered to outweigh the public interest in its disclosure.

The meeting also included standard procedural items at the beginning of Part I, such as the election of a Chairman, declarations of interest, and the approval of the minutes from the previous meeting held on 14 August 2026. The procedure for the meeting was also scheduled to be noted.
