10a	Local Government Reorganisation - Mr M Mullaney CC "Following the outcome of the election in which the Conservatives lost their majority fighting on a platform of one unitary authority for the whole of Leicestershire this County Council resolves to: (a) Withdraw the bid with the Government for one unitary authority for the whole of Leicestershire and support the proposals from the Borough and District Councils and Rutland County Council for two Unitary authorities for Leicestershire (a North and a South); (b) Record its objection to any proposal that would involve parts of the County of Leicestershire being taken over by an enlarged Leicester City Authority.”
10b	Spending Review - Mr M Mullaney CC “In the interests of seeking a way forward which we can all support and in recognition of the omission of the Chancellor to address issues in Leicestershire in either the Budget or the Spending Review, this Council resolves to make representation to the Government in order to persuade it: (i) To provide fair funding for the County Council as Leicestershire remains rooted at the bottom of the league; (ii) To provide adequate resources for the maintenance of the three emergency services in the County, Fire, Police and Ambulance, all of which are profoundly under funded; (iii) To outline the action it intends to take to tackle continuing flooding problems; (iv) To address the issue of retention, recruitment and improvements in the NHS and Social Care across the County; (v) To bring forward an early programme to road and rail schemes across the County including the A5, Junction 21 and the long promised Coventry – Leicester rail project.”
