The tree on Abbott Avenue is overgrown

Reported via mobile in the Other Footway or Footpath Issue category anonymously at 13:04, Thu 13 July 2023

Sent to Merton Council 1 hour, 6 minutes later. Council ref: SRQ-980067-N5C9Y9.

The tree is massively overgrown and the branches are coming into my garden at the back of 32 Lower Downs Road. It hasn’t been pollarded for over 2 years (again). This used to happen every year. The tree blocks out my light and is coming ever closer to my windows. I have tried to push the branches to the street side of my garden fence which will inevitably infringe on the footpath. Please keep your tree off my private property and stop allowing this tree to grow out of control. This is not the first time and will keep happening if you do not manage it properly with annual pollarding.
