Executive Summary 2.1 The report sets out the Public Holiday dates in Edinburgh for 2021 – 2027, advises Council of a clash of the Spring Holiday date with Easter Monday in the years 2022 and 2025, and seeks approval of an alternative Spring Holiday date. 2.2 The report also notes the UK Government’s announcement of an additional public holiday to mark Her Majesty the Queen’s 70th anniversary as monarch in summer 2022. The full implications of this for Edinburgh are yet to be determined. A further report will be brought back to Council on this matter. 3.
