More cash wanted to clean up gum
Towns and cities across the UK are
sticking together to try get more done
to clean chewing gum off the streets.
Councils in 20 places want companies
that make chewing gum to contribute
towards cleaning up the mess that it
leaves on the streets.
The group says that every single piece
of gum costs 10p to clean up, but only
costs 3p to make.
They add that if gum companies handed
over 1p from every pack sold it would
add £9m to the clean-up fund.
