In progress
Hedges on both sides of the path making it narrower and very day.
Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1291499-P8P3G9.
Hedges, weeds and brambles are making this path narrower and narrower. It’s a busy path in which walkers, cyclists and those with pushchairs/suitcases use quite frequently and there is no space for people to get past in both directions. The nettles/brambles growing out make it increasingly harder to get my 18-month-old down the path without cutting her legs/arms in the pushchair (this has already happened on multiple occasions). The path never used to be like this and was plenty wide enough as recent as a few months ago.

Thank you for reporting overhanging vegetation.
If plants or trees on private land are blocking the street, we’ll ask the owner to cut them back. If they don’t do this within 28 days, we’ll write to them again giving them 14 days further notice and if action is still not taken we will arrange for the work to be done at the owner's expense.
Did you know…?
In 2024 we issued 469 notices to owners of property with vegetation overhanging the public highway.
