Tree In front of 38 Spencer Hill Rd

Reported via desktop in the Damage Caused By a Street Tree category anonymously at 13:38, Wednesday 1 July 2026

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9714965.

- the tree is constantly shedding bark and twigs into our property and onto the street. - the trees roots are now pushing the pavement up and causing damage around the base of the tree - but most importantly birds constantly keep falling outside our front gate as well as on top of cars parked directly underneath. - it's a horrible tree, it blocks our lights, constantly shedding, and allowing birds to foul the pavement. - ideally it would be removed and placed not in front of somebody's house.. -please can you come and remove the tree, as well as clean up the foul excrement on the pavement in front of our house, and at the very least trim the tree back to a reasonable size..
