It’s a yearly grant, and it’s also used to buy better cleaning equipment so will have a longer-lasting impact. It’s also £1m which is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I would say waste of money, but it’s good for the short run because it’ll feel clean for abit until people just start throwing it on the floor or sticking it on benches again

It’s nothing. 1.2m divided by 50 councils is 24000 each, i.e. will buy one high pressure hose and 1 near minimum-wage job per council. Comparably, I think the NHS costs £25m per day or something
