Council workers are taking to the streets this month to clean up discarded chewing gum blighting pavements across South Lanarkshire.
The local authority’s grounds team are visiting towns including Rutherglen, Blantyre and Lanark armed with specialist machines designed to pull up the sticky gum. South Lanarkshire Council has been given a grant of £27,045 from the UK-wide Chewing Gum Task Force, administered by charity Keep Britain Tidy as part of the ‘It’s Your Place’ campaign.
