12.	NOTICES OF MOTION Marks and Spencer City Centre Motion Councillor Kitterick proposes that Leicester City Council notes: The council wishes to express its deep concern about the loss of Marks & Spencer from the City Centre of Leicester. Whilst recognising the changes in shopping dynamics, the failure of the Council's leadership to appear to even attempt to retain the Marks & Spencer food offering in the City Centre is deeply disappointing. The loss of Marks & Spencer alongside the uncertainty around the future of Leicester Market, the cancellation of this year's Caribbean Carnival and the Diwali Light Switch On coming on top of massive delays in processing of planning applications in the city are hallmarks of an exhausted and stale council leadership who lack the energy and ambition to lead our city forward. Accordingly we call on the City Mayor and his team to make way for others to lead Leicester into the future.
