Keeping Britain Tidy Chewing Gum Task Force 2025

Decision Maker: Corporate Director of Environment

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

The submission of application to Keep Britain Tidy (KBT) for funding of £27,500 to purchase specialist chewing gum removal equipment is approved.

Reasons for the decision:

Applying for the grant of £27,500 to be awarded to NYC towards resources and equipment is considered an opportunity for NYC to purchase additional equipment to tackle chewing gum and enhance the street cleaning service across the area, as there is no funding for this within existing budgets.

Alternative options considered:

Not applying for this grant would mean the additional resources and equipment could not be purchased.
