A HIGH-POWERED water spray will help blast chewing gum from North Wiltshire's streets.

North Wiltshire District Council has spent £12,000 on the spray machine which will get to work in the district next week.

A team of chewing gum busters have been trained to tackle the chewy mess.

The machine will also be used to remove graffiti, tackle fly posting and be used to steam clean public toilets.
