To confirm and sign as a correct record the minutes of the Meeting held on 20 October 2020.

In September 2019 the Committee made an informal agreement to operate with a flexible membership rota administered by Democratic Services based on availability, providing for no less than three members and no more than five members to sit at each hearing.

Now that appeal hearings are being held virtually and in view of the anticipated increase in school transport appeals, the Committee is asked to review these arrangements and amend as required.

In relation to the items of business appearing below, the Committee is asked to consider the following resolution: -

‘That under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the public be excluded from the meeting for the following items of business on the grounds that they involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraphs 1 and 2 in Part I of Schedule 12A of the Act and that the public interest in withholding the information outweighs such interest in disclosing the information.’

To consider an appeal against the refusal of Home to School Transport assistance.
