Families who enjoy England's earliest start to the school holidays might find the arrangement is about to change. Many local authority-run schools in Leicester and Leicestershire broke up this week. But a council consultation could see the holidays aligned more closely with the rest of the country. BBC News talks to families about the pros and cons of the early getaway.
'It's fantastic'
Alasdair Walker and his wife Melissa say they love Leicestershire's early start to summer.
The couple have two children, one of whom is at primary school.
