  • Leeds City Council (26 001 989)

    Statement Upheld School transport 06-Jul-2026

    Summary: There was fault by a transport appeal panel in deciding to offer a personal travel allowance (PTA) without considering the method, or cost, of transport that would be required.

The Council will retake the decision, taking all relevant matters into account.
