Cottenham Park Road

Reported in the Other Roads or Carriageway issue category anonymously at 21:59, Monday 27 July 2026

Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1291110-T8K3C1.

Copse Hill entrance from round about closed for 10 weeks I believe. I have seen a few near misses with vehicles driving fast using the area as a cut through. Some drive up to the cul de sac very fast too and turn round - sometimes with no care as if angry. Another near miss tonight when I was reversing into my drive. It’s also the school holidays so more children are about. With cars going at these speeds in a residential area a serious even fatal accident could occur. All in all, is an accident waiting to happen. Please can you take action asap to make it safe for everyone concerned.
