| Cllr Callum Procter - eager for a street spruce-up |
A BLITZ on spat-out chewing gum deposits has this week been launched inn Cleethorpes.
Over the next 20 days, a firm called Eco Removal Systems will be removing unsightly patches of flattened gum that have built up in areas of high footfall - specifically High Street, Sea Road and St Peter’s Avenue.
The pavements ware being cleaned using eco-friendly detergent which vaporises the gum.
Says Cllr Callum Procter, North East Lincolnshire Council's cabinet member for tourism: "Chewing gum deposits are notoriously hard to remove, so we thought we’d take the opportunity and get rid of a bit of a build-up.
"However, the best thing, of course, would be for people to use litter bins."
The eradication work is being financed through the Government’s Welcome Back Fund.
