CHEWING gum on the streets is proving a major headache for many towns.

Councils spend large sums of money cleaning up the mess, but the ugly blobs quickly reappear.

In some towns you can be fined on the spot for dropping gum and it is estimated that it costs the country millions to get rid of the mess each year.

So what should be done to solve the problem?

Standup Wheeze,

on a sticky patch 01/07/2008 16:34:49
Despite all the campaigns by Councils throughout the country the situation continues.
Gum boards,gum buckets,pouches -all to no avail.Yet ratepayers foot the clean up bill running into millions.
Wrigleys was the biggest culprit having around 80% of the chewing gum market.They have recently been taken over by Mars.Also looking to profit are Cadbury's who have now entered the market.Neither company accepts any responsibilty for the costly mess created by its products.
A sales tax is the only answer so lobby your MP and councillors unless you want to see your streets covered with discarded gum.
