Win some, lose some

We mentioned the chewing gum removal machine a few days ago, and its operator has certainly got well and truly stuck into the job of tidying the town's pavements.
Unfortunately, we think that they now look worse than before (if you've not seen them in person, take a look in this week's Boston Standard) and wonder whether there are also plans to actually clean up the surface after the gum has been removed.
If not, it may as well stay put.
It also seems a little disingenuous to trumpet the saving of less than £20,000 on closing the Guildhall, then blowing seven grand on a machine that simply highlights the messy state of Boston's pavements.
