Kingston Road, tree overgrown

Reported via mobile in the Other Street Tree Problem category anonymously at 12:28, Monday 20 October 2025

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1261178-X8F8P2.

Over the years the large street trees in front of No.140c and 140d and 140e and 140f have overgrown and now touching the windows facing the street of the property 140c and 140d. Also at the bus shelter outside my door there are low hanging branches that are being hit by buses stopping at the bus stop.

  • The bus stop shelter that was mentioned in my original post is been dismantled and taken away and unfortunately they couldn’t carry on fitting the new one because the overgrown tree I very concerned about those branches creating a problem with the roof and also the overwhelming amount of leaves in the public footpath. Two of the residents that live at the numbers mentioned last time are on wheelchairs and very dangerous for them to go around in the footpath Thank you

  • As reported on the 20th of October about a very large tree overhanging over the roof of ours property I have now attached more photos that show some of the tallest branches affecting the roof tiles, broke with the winds and consequently fallen on the public footpath.
