Summary

The Members Home to School Transport Appeals Panel of Carmarthenshire Council met on 2 October 2025, to consider an appeal against the council's decision not to provide free school transport. Councillor Edward Thomas, Cabinet Member for Transport, Waste and Infrastructure, was scheduled to chair the meeting.

School Transport Appeal

The panel was scheduled to consider an appeal by applicants G.J, L.J. & R.J. against a decision of the authority for the non-provision of free school transport.

The agenda for the meeting noted that the report relating to this item was not for publication, as it contained exempt information as defined in paragraph 12 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 19721, as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) (Variation) (Wales) Order 2007.

Other items

The agenda for the meeting also included:

  • Apologies for absence.
  • Declarations of personal interest.
  • Exclusion of the public from the meeting during consideration of the appeal, subject to the application of the public interest test2.

  1. The Local Government Act 1972 is legislation that defines the structure and functions of local authorities in England and Wales. 

  2. The public interest test is a legal principle that requires decision-makers to consider whether the public interest in maintaining an exemption from disclosure outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
