A solution has been found to a sticky problem on Lichfield city centre’s streets

Lichfield District Council has brought in a specialist team to clear chewing gum from pavements.

Councillor Andy Smith, Lichfield District Council’s Cabinet Member for Leisure & Parks, said: “It is great that our city centre pavements will soon be free of old gum and grime.

“I know local residents and visitors to the city want to have a clean environment and I hope we can continue to keep the streets clean by encouraging everyone to put all litter, especially chewed gum, in the bin.”
