Liverpool Tackles Gum Litter with New Funding | Liverpool News

Liverpool’s city center is finally getting a fresh start after residents called it “tatty” and “dirty.” In response, the council landed a $27,500 grant from the Chewing Gum Task Force to tackle pavement gum and stains — part of a four-year streak of funding totaling over $100,000. Backed by gum makers, the Task Force’s efforts have slashed gum litter by up to 86% in other UK cities. Meanwhile, Liverpool is also pouring $7.5 million over two years into broader street cleaning, bringing in more washers and crews — and urging locals to help keep the city clean.
