The Regulation Committee Appeal Panel (Transport) of Kent Council met on 1 July 2025 to discuss several items, primarily focusing on transport-related appeals. Due to the nature of the appeals, the press and public were likely to be excluded from the meeting.

Exclusion of Press and Public

A motion was scheduled to be put forward to exclude the press and public from the meeting. The reason cited for this exclusion was Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972, as the discussions were expected to involve the disclosure of exempt information, specifically:

• Information relating to any individual.
• Information likely to reveal the identity of an individual.

Matters for Decision

The agenda for the meeting included a review of ten appeals related to transport. Each appeal was listed as a separate item for decision, numbered 1 through 10. The Agenda Frontsheet and Public Reports Pack indicated that these appeals contained exempt information under the Local Government Act 1972. Specifically, each appeal document contains the following statement:

By virtue of paragraph(s) 1, 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.

This suggests that the appeals involved both information relating to individuals and information likely to reveal their identities.
