The Appeals (Education) Committee of East Riding of Yorkshire Council was scheduled to consider three home to school transport appeals. The meeting agenda indicated that the press and public might be excluded for these discussions due to the likely disclosure of exempt information.

Home to School Transport Appeals

The committee was scheduled to consider three separate appeals regarding home to school transport. These included appeals from individuals identified as HL and LL, DC, and HS. For each appeal, a report from the Executive Director of Children, Families and Schools was to be presented. The agenda indicated that the committee would be asked to consider excluding the press and public from these discussions, citing the Local Government Act 1972, which allows for the exclusion of information that is likely to involve the disclosure of exempt information. The committee would need to be satisfied that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information.

The agenda for the meeting was published on the East Riding of Yorkshire Council website¹.
