Broken branch and overgrown branches on pavement.
Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9605890.
The tree has been an ongoing concern for many months. We have asked for an assessment several times and we continue to be ignored. Now there is a branch that has been torn off and is hanging in the road and we are have to duck under the branches on the pavement. Please could someone come and correct the issue. The tree needs to be looked, assessed and cut appropriately. Many thanks

Thank you for reporting a problem with a street tree.
We aim to inspect street tree problems within 10 working days of being reported, or 2 hours if the tree is dangerous. We aim to carry out any necessary work within 30 working days.
Did you know…?
We care for more than 20,000 street trees in Merton, including pruning, pollarding, and planting hundreds each year to keep streets green, safe, and walkable.

Following our latest routine inspection, we have identified and specified the necessary tree works e.g. pruning 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.
