Motion 1: Adventure Playgrounds

Proposed by Councillor Kitterick, seconded by Councillor Bora:

This Council Notes

• At its Annual Budget Meeting on 25th February 2026 Leicester City Council was informed by the City Mayor that £2million of funding was to be provided for Adventure Playgrounds in the City.

• This was confirmed in a Press Release issued by the City Council on 26th February 2026.

• Subsequent communications from the City Council have caused concern amongst Adventure Playgrounds that the actual support for their valuable work will be well short of the promised £2million which was pledged.

This Council believes that the extremely valuable work Adventure Playgrounds have performed for over 50 years in the city deserves our continue support.

This Council calls upon the City Mayor to give the necessary resources as indicated, and voted for at the 25th February 2026 Budget Meeting to continue the vital work that Leicester Adventure Playgrounds carry out, combatting the child poverty that afflicts our city, and improving the lives of Leicester's Children for over half a century.

Motion 2: Leicester’s Health Services

Proposed by Councillor Kitterick:

This Council notes with concern the following facts about the health of our City.

• Leicester has the second worst ratio of GPs to patients in the country, with 1 GP for every 3262 people.

• Leicester people can expect 3 years less healthy life than the national average.

• Leicester has one of the highest Infant Mortality rates in the country.

• Leicester has one of the lowest rates of vaccination in the UK which has dropped dramatically in the City in the last 15 years.

This Council, therefore, calls for the City Council to lead a plan to combat these and the many other health issues experienced by people in City.  It should do this by bringing together all organisations and parties in a movement to develop a plan to address the deep health inequalities that exist in Leicester and to report back on this plan to this Council with an Annual "Health of the City" report.
