Tripping hazard, cable sticking out above ground

Reported via Android in the Other Footway or Footpath Issue category anonymously at 08:59, Mon 22 May 2023

Sent to Merton Council 43 minutes later. Council ref: SRQ-949552-D3B4R1.

There is a 20cm wire (possibly electric cable?) sticking out from the ground and going back under. It is a very busy street in terms of pedestrian traffic and due to multiple schools/nurseries on either end, lots of children and buggies.

On top of personal harm, this could cause disruption if the cable gets damaged, should it supply home or even worse some shared utilities (like internet).
