Latimer Road - many dead branches near no. 55
Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1260894-W2X7R4.
Hello,
There is a tree outside No. 55 Latimer Road which appears to have many dead branches on it which could possibly break off and cause damage. The tree itself appears to be alive, but could use major pruning of these dead branches. This has been an issue for a few years.
Many thanks for your time.

Thank you for reporting a problem with a street tree.
We aim to inspect street tree problems within 10 working days of being reported, or 2 hours if the tree is dangerous. We aim to carry out any necessary work within 30 working days.
Did you know…?
We care for more than 20,000 street trees in Merton, including pruning, pollarding, and planting hundreds each year to keep streets green, safe, and walkable.

Thank you for your report. As our latest inspection, we found this tree in poor condition and planned to remove when routine maintenance and replace with a new one afterward. Please understand that we are unable to maintain all street trees simultaneously. Borough-wide tree maintenance is prioritised by risk to public safety, so lower-risk trees will be addressed as work progresses on higher-risk ones. We apologise for not being able to provide a specific date at this time, but we are managing the work as efficiently as possible within our resource limits.
