Street road hazard
Reported via iOS in the Litter or Weeds on a Street category anonymously at 12:41, Sunday 31 May 2026
Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1284666-D2S8F6.
Scattered glass fragments are visible on the road surface, likely from a smashed car window. This presents a serious hazard to cyclists, pedestrians, and could cause tyre punctures for vehicles.
The gutter and kerb area along the double yellow line contains accumulated debris including twigs, litter, and small fragments. The cobbled drainage channel is partially blocked with organic matter and waste
