Southey Road is in a disgusting mess

Reported via mobile in the Litter or Weeds on a Street category anonymously at 10:25, Wednesday 29 October 2025

Sent to Merton Council 2 hours, 11 minutes later. Council ref: SRQ-1262033-M0B9G0.

I received a fixed response to my reporting of litter and glass in Southey Rd SW19.

Unfortunately on walking there again this morning at 7.30 am there was absolutely no difference in the litter and glass scattered around the pavement and kerbside. It was the same rubbish: bin waste, used rubber gloves, food boxes, beer cans, broken glass etc.

I do not understand how this fixed response can be believed.

Please can somebody return to Southey Road and check this again. I walk on that Road every day to walk my dog and have to continually dodge broken glass and disgusting rubbish. I can provide photos if required but am hoping this will be responded to as a matter of urgency. It has been like this for weeks and is simply unacceptable.

Thank you.

  • Thank you for reporting litter or weeds on a street.

    If litter is widespread, we aim to clear it within 24 hours of your report. It may take longer if we need specialist equipment.
    Reports of weeds or leaves will help us to plan our seasonal work. Weeds are normally cleared in spring, summer and early autumn. Leaves are only cleared once they have broken down.

    Did you know…?
    Our street cleaning teams remove over 130 tonnes of litter and dumped waste each month
