Adela AVE, tree pit nowhere near big enough

Reported via mobile in the Other Street Tree Problem category anonymously at 12:43, Tuesday 20 January 2026

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1269930-W2L9V4.

This tree was planted in a tiny tree pit. There 2 layers of tarmac, current pavement and underlying old road surface. It needs a much bigger pit as there is nowhere else that water soaks in. (No near garden or other exposed soil)
