Tree pit filled in where tree due to be planted.

Reported via desktop in the Other Street Tree Problem category anonymously at 13:15, Monday 16 February 2026

Sent to Merton Council 4 minutes later. Council ref: SRQ-1273016-X6C5Z1.

According to the tree planting timetable, a tree is due to be planted "Front of 23/25 Marina ave " this month. However, no tree has been planted & the existing tree pit has been filled in & tarmacked over in the last couple of weeks. The planned tree at front of 13/11 Marina Ave HAS been planted but the pit at front of 31-33 Marina Ave is still empty (apart from a traffic cone). I cannot see any sign of the other trees which were due to be planted in the Avenue, but have not checked individually.
