Cleator Moor’s streets will get a deep clean from Monday.
Workers will be in the town from Monday to target chewing gum and ingrained dirt on its streets.
Cumberland Council is behind the work, which it says will help revitalise Cleator Moor and enhance its appeal.
The street cleaning initiative will begin at the large pedestrian area in front of the library, then work across to the civic hall and around the Square and the surrounding pavements on Jacktrees Road, Cragg Road and Market Street before moving to the B5295 between the park at Montreal Street and Quarry Road.
Dedicated crews equipped with specialist jet washers and mechanical sweepers will cover the designated areas.
To minimise disruption, cleaning work will start during the normal working hours for the Square and surrounding area, then after 4pm for the high street. The council anticipates that the cleaning programme will be completed within eight days.
Precautions will be taken to minimise spray from the jet washers near shop fronts.
The cleaning process will be conducted in sections, providing the opportunity for the team to inspect and address any concerns to ensure that the frontages remain clean and tidy before moving forward to the subsequent stretch, the authority said.
