Equipped with eco-friendly gels and high-pressure steam units funded by the Chewing Gum Task Force, municipal teams are systematically removing embedded gum from historic stone flags along Skipton High Street and canal corridors.
Civic leaders emphasised that keeping Skipton's historic streets spotlessly clean enhances the shopping experience for holidaymakers and supports local independent high-street traders.
The deep-clean project forms part of a wider town-centre infrastructure improvement drive across Craven.
