7 weeks school holiday instead of the usual 6

Yesterday saw all 4 Forth councillors sit down together with local police officers to discuss the perennial problem of youth disorder. Already, all 4 have received repeated complaints of large numbers of youths gathering and causing nuisance in different parts of the ward, and it is not yet high summer.

The local inspector offered us comfort: the numbers of reported incidents have fallen and the solvent rate is up and he intends to develop and implement a strategy for the long summer months. 7 weeks school holiday this year instead of the usual 6 - it promises to be a rare old time...
