Holts

Holts is a suburb of the city of Drum.

Holts is a large town and suburb in the county of Drum & Colby. It is the most populous non-city in the country, with a population of over one hundred thousand.

Location
Holts is around 4 kilometres east of Drum's city centre. It also lies about three kilometres north of nearby Forcett, which has a population of over seventy thousand residents. Holts consists of two smaller areas; Partingdon and Meadowmoor, while Birchwood is considered an estate in Holts.

Quality of Life
Holts received negative attention after it was found in 2003 that Holts' council deliberately cut benefits to over 40,000 residents. They previously claimed that this was a "huge glitch" though inside evidence proved that this was indeed deliberately caused. After a massive reshuffle of parliament in Drum and Holts' sectors, a total of 37,634 residents received £232 on average in compensation, though mass protests still occured until late 2006, when a further £400 was paid to 41,075 residents. This settled disputes with most residents and the local council.

In addition, it was revealed in 2009 that the average life expectancy of residents living in holts had a life expectancy of just 67 years, the lowest in the country.
