Weeds all along footway and no attempt to get rid, this is a public footway

Reported via desktop in the Litter or Weeds on a Street category anonymously at 20:58, Monday 22 June 2026

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1287062-G2H1N8.

The footway is full of weeds, and has been completely ignored by street cleansing and no attempt has been made to clear. This footpath is public highway so should be treated as all other public areas in the borough and not ignored

Updates

  • Thank you for reporting litter or weeds on a street.

    If litter is widespread, we aim to clear it within 24 hours of your report. It may take longer if we need specialist equipment.
    Reports of weeds or leaves will help us to plan our seasonal work. Weeds are normally cleared in spring, summer and early autumn. Leaves are only cleared once they have broken down.

    Did you know…?
    Our street cleaning teams remove over 130 tonnes of litter and dumped waste each month

  • That is just a general reply and does not deal with the issue and it is clear you did not do anything to this area in the spring when you did surrounding footpaths. What and when are you attending to this as you haven’t begore
