Illegally placed _ Skip_ hazardous position_

Reported via desktop in the Abandoned Vehicles category anonymously at 16:39, Friday 9 May 2025

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1212531-M0J9W5.

Dear Morden Council Highways Department,

I am writing to report a recurring and dangerous obstruction on Bruton Road. For several weeks now, a skip has been illegally placed, blocking approximately half of the double yellow lined road entrance. This significantly reduces visibility and poses a serious hazard to drivers entering and exiting Bruton Road.

While the skip has been moved at the time of writing, this illegal placement happens weekly, and the skip is often stored overnight in the same hazardous position. I understand that residents of Central Road are renting this skip and appear to be responsible for its repeated illegal placement.

A contact phone number is visible on the skip, which may assist in taking further action.

I urge you to investigate this matter urgently and take appropriate measures to prevent this dangerous and illegal obstruction from continuing.

Thank you for your time and attention to this important safety concern.
