Chewing off the gum

jetwashingpavementGobs of chewing gum are ugly and spoil our pavements, so our cleansing team have recently been blitzing the streets with a steam cleaner as the most effective way of getting rid of it.

From Tolpuddle Street to City Road, Studd Street to St John's Street, our team has been on a rolling programme of cleansing and washing to gouge off the unsightly globs of gum, and freshen up the sticky pavements with fragranced detergents from Angel BID’s Euromec machines.

“Businesses in this BID are making such a difference to the Angel by paying for extra cleansing services” praised Director of Savills estate agents Alan Collins, on a visit to the Angel. “Removing the chewing gum off the pavements improves the look of the area hugely and makes the Angel far more attractive.”
