Cumberland Council has been undertaking a comprehensive street cleaning programme for Millom.
The project started on Sunday 29 October, and with only a small section of Wellington Street to finalise, which will happen this week.
The project has effectively eliminated unsightly chewing gum and stubborn dirt from pedestrian areas enhancing the overall cleanliness and appeal of the area for residents and visitors alike.
Dedicated crews equipped with specialist jet washers and mechanical sweepers diligently cleaned the town centre of Millom.
Cumberland Councillor Denise Rollo, Executive Member for Sustainable, Resilient and Connected Places, said:
"We are pleased to continue this programme, which we initially started in Workington in May, and Cleator Moor in July. It aims to significantly improve the cleanliness of Millom. Through the meticulous removal of chewing gum and deeply embedded grime, we hope to create a more inviting environment for our local community and visitors. We appreciate the patience and cooperation of the public and businesses during these works.
“Cumberland Council remains committed to improving the quality of life for its residents by promoting sustainable development, community engagement and putting health and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. Initiatives such as the street cleaning programme reflect our dedication to create a cleaner, safer, and more vibrant area for all.”
If the public has any questions about the work, they are asked to please contact Cumberland Council’s customer contact centre during office hours at 0300 373 3730.
