Decision

The Corporate Director, Environment and
Assistant Director, Resources approve the submission of a grant
application to Keep Britain Tidy (KBT) for a grant to a maximum of
£27,500 to purchase specialist chewing gum removal equipment
to enhance the street cleaning service

Reasons for the decision

Submitting an application for a grant towards
equipment is considered an opportunity for NYC to purchase
additional equipment to tackle chewing gum and enhance the street
cleaning service across the area if the application is successful
as there is no funding for this within existing budgets.

Alternative options considered

Not to submit an application but this would
result in no funding to purchase the additional
equipment.
