We've been out and about cleaning up chewing gum

Our staff have been out and about in the district using the new chewing gum cleaning equipment we've purchased, thanks to a grant from the Chewing Gum Task Force.

The first two communities where we've used the equipment so far are Kingsbridge and Ivybridge. The equipment has been effective in helping to clear up gum on our streets. Here are some pictures to show off the work.
