The Appeals Sub-Committee (School Transport) of Wiltshire Council is scheduled to convene on Tuesday 3 November 2026. The primary focus of the meeting will be to consider and determine a school transport appeal.

School Transport Appeal

The committee is scheduled to consider and determine a school transport appeal. This will involve reviewing an Officer's Report, the Appellant's Submission and Support Evidence, and relevant Transport Policy and Law. The specific details of the appeal are not publicly available in advance of the meeting.

The meeting is scheduled to take place in the Monkton Room at the Council Offices, Monkton Park, Chippenham SN15. The agenda documents indicate that the committee may resolve to exclude the press and public from discussions relating to the school transport appeal, citing the potential disclosure of exempt information. This decision would be made in accordance with section 100A (4) of the Local Government Act 1972, where the public interest in withholding information is considered to outweigh the public interest in its disclosure.

The agenda also outlines standard procedural items, including the election of a Chairman for the meeting, the receipt of any declarations of interest, and the approval of the minutes from the previous meeting held on 6 October 2026. Attendees will also be asked to note the meeting procedure.

The Appeals Sub-Committee is composed of Cllr Denise Bates, Cllr Eunja Palmén, and Cllr Chris Vaughan. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 9:30 am.
