Hillcross spare land rear of the residential houses
Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9285914.
Height of trees are extremely high which we worry about if there are high winds. The trees could go though our house roof as they are so high. In the past we have had one tree fall through our fence. Plus saplings are growing along the edge of public path, they too will cause a problem with the public pathway ie roots will breakthrough the tarmac path (relaid a couple of years ago) and the type of trees growing are shallow rooted which spread through to our lawn, under our paving and possibly unddr our foundations???

Thank you for your report. Please understanding there is no set size for a tree. Trees are expected to grow up and large that taking in more carbon to mitigate climate change especially in wildlife reserve area of a public park. We have recently completed our routine inspection for tree health and public safety and identified and specified the necessary tree works e.g. pruning or felling as part of routine maintenance. Please understand that we are unable to maintain all street trees simultaneously. Borough-wide tree maintenance is prioritised by risk to public safety, so lower-risk trees will be addressed as work progresses on higher-risk ones. We apologise for not being able to provide a specific date at this time, but we are managing the work as efficiently as possible within our resource limits.
