Re 1, 3, 5, 7 Robinson Road Colliers Wood SW17 9DL
As you can see in the attached photos there are a series of bushes overhanging onto the pavement making it very hard for wheelchairs or prams to get past. There are also a couple of unwanted trees one at the front of No.3 and one by the back wall by No.5 which if it’s allowed to grow anymore will cause the walls to crack!!
I believe Clarion are the owners of the these properties so can you please enforce them to come and remove the lot PLUS…. kill all the roots so none of it grows back or we’ll be back to square one.
Thank you:)

Thank you for reporting overhanging vegetation.
If plants or trees on private land are blocking the street, we’ll ask the owner to cut them back. If they don’t do this within 28 days, we’ll write to them again giving them 14 days further notice and if action is still not taken we will arrange for the work to be done at the owner's expense.
Did you know…?
In 2024 we issued 469 notices to owners of property with vegetation overhanging the public highway.
