Abingdon-on-Thames Town Council has been removing chewing gum stains on their pavements, including the Market Place and the County Hall. One of the town council staff has been steaming and removing gum, but it takes time and doing just those areas will take a couple of days.
I would not expect them to remove gum from the general pavements that the County Council looks after.
It’s such a pity that gum-chewers think it’s ok to drop their gum instead of putting it in a bin. Removing it from pavements etc must be a huge waste of time and money and water.
There are plenty of rubbish bins in Abingdon. Why does anyone it’s ok to drop ANY rubbish?
Isn’t a lot of it chewing gum lichen, often mistaken for chewing gum. I had some on my porch roof and I don’t think anyone has thrown that amount of chewing gum on there.
This makes a lot of sense
Maybe the gum could be used to fill the potholes in our roads …….
just the same as the lazy smokers who think its ok to drop their dog ends everywhere
