Urgent Request for Vegetation Maintenance on Public Footpath-River Wandle
Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1289135-X2L9K0.
I would like to report the condition of the public footpath alongside the river, which has become heavily overgrown with weeds and nettles. As shown in the attached photographs, vegetation is encroaching onto the path, with large patches of nettles and weeds making it unpleasant and, in some places, difficult to walk through. Nettles pose a risk of stings to pedestrians, particularly children, dog walkers and anyone wearing shorts or skirts. The overgrown plants also make the path look neglected and reduce the usable width of the walkway. This is a well-used public route and I would appreciate it if the area could be inspected and the vegetation cut back as soon as possible to make it safe and accessible again.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing when maintenance has been scheduled.

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
