Mattress at side of road.

Reported via desktop in the Fly-Tipping category anonymously at 13:54, Friday 14 March 2025

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1196789-L4G8M9.

The mattress is preventing the flow of water and therefore causing a build-up of stagnant water, which can't be healthy. Can this please be removed? I am sure whoever gets this will try to claim it's not their responsibility, but can they please do it anyway. Children walk down this road!

  • The mattress is still there, so I would like to know why Merton Council have said they've removed it! Can it please be removed as soon as possible, as it is causing a build-up of stagnant, unhealthy water, where children walk.

  • You have simply moved it from the stream, where it was safely out of the reach of children, to the road, where the disgusting, drenched old mattress could give all sorts of germs to the children on their way to and from nursery! Please can it be removed!!

  • Unfortunately not fixed. Merton Council removed it from the stream, but then just dumped it on the road. Since then someone has moved it to the corner by the entrance to the park, which is where is was when I reported it again. This time the report was ignored by the council and someone has moved it quite far up the road leading to the rugby club and children's nursery. Can this mattress please be removed?!

    Still open, via questionnaire

  • Still open, via questionnaire, 14:31, Friday 9 May 2025

  • It has now been dumped back in the stream by someone, this time further up close to the nursery and rugby club.

    Can the Council please just collect it so that this madness can be over?
