  • Thank you for your report. Our records show that our contractor has made several attempts to carry out branch reduction on this tree. Unfortunately, parked vehicles beneath the tree have prevented the work from going ahead due to health and safety requirements. If you are able to help by ensuring vehicles are moved during the scheduled works, please email streettrees@merton.gov.uk and confirm that you give permission for us to share your preferred contact details with our contractor.
