Unmanaged vegetation

Reported via mobile in the Cycling Route Issue category anonymously at 07:14, Thu 30 October 2025

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1262105-X9L9Q7.

This path is very overgrown by nettle and other vegetation. It is rarely if ever cut back (and even then, often by volunteers). It needs regular cutbacks. It is a path popular with pedestrians and cyclists alike, who are forced to share a very narrow space in-between the nettle and spiky bushes.
