Stake at angle supporting tree
Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1260161-G7S2L6.
This stake was removed and then photo taken and then replaced by persons unknown. The reason for this stake is that the last tree which also had a stake at an angle was to stop people parking on the curb to protect the tree . The last tree was knocked down because of people parking close up to it. It has now been repaired and knocked further in to help support and protect tree. I suggest that Merton Council help by putting protection around the trees to stop the kind of thing happening

Thank you for your report. As standard practice, young tree have on stake only. Someone has installed an extra stake at roadside to help prevent future vehicle damage. As this tree grow up to substantial size, both stakes will be removed.
