The pavements of Moseley shopping centre are to be jet blasted clean starting tomorrow (Tuesday) at 6pm.

The paved pavements will be jet blasted back to their original colours and all chewing gum removed. The whole process will be done each evening after 6pm and take about a week.

This is the initiative of local Ward Councillors to improve the environment of Moseley shopping centre and to assist in the Britain in Bloom competition.

This is the first time pavements have been jet blasted clean in the suburbs of Birmingham.

There will be an opportunity to meet the company doing the jet blasting and a demonstration of the processes involved on the Village Green, late Wednesday afternoon.
