Force chewing gum companies to contribute to clean-up costs through a tax on its manufacture

Additional Information

Dropping chewing gum is littering and it is disgusting. If we can get rid of the gum from the streets our towns and cities will be a more pleasant place to live and to visit.

Often the worst areas are outside takeaways, where people drop their gum before buying food. There is a £70 fine if you are caught dropping it but this is an ineffective deterent because you rarely see anyone doing it.

Quoting Cllr David Smith, from Bournemouth Council: “It is a blatantly obvious solution to the problem.”
