Grass Verge x2 has big gouges

Reported via desktop in the Damage to Grass Verge category anonymously at 11:38, Tuesday 13 January 2026

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1269127-X9W2Y2.

A skip lorry taking away a skip from 2 Woodland Way mounted the verge and pavement outside 1 woodland way braking two paving slabs but as the ground was soft from the recent gas and water works, it dug two large gouges into the earth. The holes in the verge need filling with earth and reseeding and the paving slabs replaced please.
