RESOLVED pursuant to the Act referred to in minute 3 above, not to publicise the content of the report as it contained exempt information relating to a particular individual. The public interest test in this matter related to the fact that the report included personal information relating to the applicant. Disclosure would support transparency and accountability in the decision-making process, however, on balance the public interest in maintaining confidentiality outweighed the public interest in disclosure because of the need to protect the identity of the applicant and the family. The Panel considered the written representations of the appellant in respect of the refusal of the Stage 1 Review Panel to grant E.S. free school transport to a school which was within the 3 mile statutory walking distance from the home address and therefore, did not meet the criteria outlined in the Council’s policy for the provision of assistance. The Panel considered the individual circumstances of the case, together with the observations of the departmental officers. RESOLVED, in line with the Authority’s Home to School Transport Policy, that the appeal by E.S. for school transport be refused on the basis that the school was within the statutory walking distance.
There were no apologies for absence.
There were no declarations of personal interest.
UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED pursuant to the Local Government Act 1972, as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) (Variation) (Wales) Order 2007 that the following item was not for publication as the report contained exempt information as defined in Paragraph 12 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
