The committee discussed the adherence of its contractor, Countrystyle, to street cleansing specifications, with the council monitoring performance through regular internal inspections and applying financial penalties for non-compliance.
The topic of chewing gum removal, which is the process of removing chewing gum from surfaces, is addressed within these broader street cleansing efforts. There are no upcoming meetings currently scheduled to specifically discuss chewing gum removal.
