Decision

Acceptance of the £27,500 grant awarded
by Keep Britain Tidy to tackle chewing gum.

Reasons for the decision

Accepting the grant of £27,500 awarded
to NYC towards resources and equipment is considered an opportunity
for NYC to purchase additional equipment to tackle chewing gum and
enhance the street cleaning service across the area, as there is no
funding for this within existing budgets.

Alternative options considered

Not accepting this grant would mean the
additional resources and equipment could not be
purchased.
