Ashguard - Cheltenham Borough Council

At the busy Promenade taxi rank in Cheltenham, cigarette ends were being discarded by customers and also taxi drivers. The cigarette ends were creating extra work for cleansing personnel and tarnished the aesthetic appearance of one of the town’s most popular streets.

Following consultation between the Head of Environmental Health and Cleansing and the Local Hackney Carriage Association, David Wilson, Cheltenham Borough Council’s Waste and Cleansing Manager, was requested to address the problem.
