Thank you for your report. 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
