A Midlothian Aldi store has come under fire from locals, including a councillor, for reportedly refusing to sell a group of teenagers water as temperatures exceeded 24C.
The store, in Dalkeith, allegedly refused a group of high school children bottles of water while they were out playing football on Friday, due to a 'blanket ban' on large groups of youths at peak times.
After a local mum hit out on social media, SNP councillor Kelly Parry tweeted Aldi to ask them to review their rules regarding teenagers, saying turning kids away for buying water seems 'harsh'.
