Leicestershire County Council proposes shifting school summer holiday dates, moving the popular July Fortnight break later in the summer. Despite strong public opposition five years ago, Reform Party leaders now push for this change, citing potential attendance improvements and regional alignment. Critics argue it could increase costs and lead to more absences. Public input is open, with thousands previously supporting the current schedule for affordable family vacations and mental health benefits.
