HBC jet washing of the main streets in town centres is taking place across the borough and the team moved to Rishton on 31st March.
Cllr Ken Moss went to meet the work crew as they started and was joined by Cabinet member for Waste Services and Street Cleansing, Cllr Paul Cox.
Paul said, "The initial aim is to remove the large amounts of chewing gum which have built up on pavements across the borough and make the shopping areas look more presentable, after which it will be a regular ongoing job to keep the streets clean. It will cost around £15,000 per year and this has been completely offset by other efficiency savings within the Waste Services department."
