TACKY in every sense, discarded chewing gum is a blight on our fair city. The latest solution is the "sticky board" where gum slingers can plant their leftovers once the flavour has gone.
One councillor disapproves, saying they are not appropriate in a conservation area. But then, neither are gooey pavements.
It could be fun. Put well-known faces on the boards and it becomes an unofficial popularity contest: I'm a celebrity, gum me out of here.
