Missing Road Bollard

Reported via desktop in the Damage to Street Furniture category anonymously at 12:38, Mon 22 July 2024

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1128712-T4S9V5.

The road bollard previously dumped in the river was fished out and reinstated on Friday, 19/7/24. As the bollard cannot be locked in place, someone removed the bollard a few hours later and the bollard has gone missing completely since then. Pedestrians using Wandle Bank are in real danger from being seriously injured or killed by vehicles accessing Wandle Bank when the bollard is not secured in position. This is a safety issue which must be addressed as a matter of urgency. All efforts to date in rectifying this reoccurring problem have failed because the lock is simply removed and the bollard is either thrown in the river - or as is the case now, completely missing. An alternative, more secure means of preventing access to Wandle Bank must be provided quickly before a member of the public comes to harm.
