Bushes and stinging nettles taking over the footpath

Reported via mobile in the Other Street Tree Problem category anonymously at 07:34, Tuesday 30 June 2026

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9705690.

Not sure how to report it but the amount of stinging nettles and prickly bushes down this footpath is horrible. People can’t walk side by side and it’s terrifying when bikes pass, especially the electric ones.
