All trees along Warren Road
Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9725801.
The trees planted along Warren Road are in need of puning. The past couple of summers they've grown a significant amount and this summer that growth is causing issues at street level and higher up on property windows and significantly starting to block light. Our property, No 34 Warren Road, now has branches consistently hitting the windows. At street level, the new growth of branches on the lower sections of the trunk mean that you need to duck and move to avoid being hit. There are also branches now starting to drape across some cars if parked directly underneath.

Your street has been included in this year’s pollarding programme. We anticipate the work will take place between Winter 2026 and Spring 2027, subject to overall work progress and any urgent priorities such as storm-related response activities. Programmed pollards, when available, will be shown on the councils Planned Tree Works page https://www.merton.gov.uk/ planning-and-buildings/ trees/ works
