@KirstyWarwick @WimSoc @Merton_Council The bike stands on Queens Road are now almost totally occupied by @limebike

@WimSoc @Merton_Council Let’s hope they free up pavements and put parking bays on the road…then more space for pedestrians and for other cyclists to access Sheffield stands

Just what's needed in Merton @Merton_Council

Hi @TfL Where exactly is the sink hole on Queens Road #SW19? Can only see unattended @thameswater works and nothing happening. If large trucks can drive along the road, why not a bus?

@alexander_low @Merton_Council I think a lot of residents would agree with that!

@Merton_Council your new process for setting up e-visitor permits is one of the most complicated processes I have experienced, you really need to revisit this.

@Merton_Council It's taking a lot longer than one day, even if you are uploading a document @Merton_Council has sent you in the first place!

We’ve changed the way we issue visitor parking permits The first time you buy one on the new system, we will need to check and approve your application – this may take up to one working day Find out more 👉 merton.gov.uk/streets-parkin…

@KirstyWarwick @MeristemDesign @Merton_Council They are lovely but do hope funds will always be available to maintain their beauty. Can only envisage they might become neglected once the good deed has been completed 🌿🍃

@MeristemDesign @Merton_Council These are great! Need many more in the area too and spot lots of places whilst cycling around in merton that would be perfect spots…

Merton Rain Gardens in October 🌿 Both functional and vibrant, the SuDS were designed to effectively manage surface water, boost biodiversity and improve water quality by filtering pollutants 💧 📸📍Raynes Park, The Chase, Madeira Road and Tamworth Lane @Merton_Council #RainGarden #SuDS #Merton #UrbanGreening #GreenInfrastructure #WaterManagement

@nicscho Thanks for sharing. Still once a week or fortnight deliveries in Wimbledon too, including strange bulk deliveries on Sunday evening.

This explains it greenwichwire.co.uk/2024/06/18/ear…

#Wimbledon post box collection times all seem to be changing from early evening to 9am, without any prior warnings. Next day delivery eh?! @DundonaldLibDem

@MarkGale @Merton_Council You might see more! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The quality of @Merton_Council Cabinet meetings have gone downhill A stream from Maison Alambritis (½ mile away) who couldn't be bothered to attend in person & audio from the Civic Centre (Committee Rooms E or CE in pic) No opposition Cllrs (used to see Con & Ind in attendance)

Six fire engines and about 40 firefighters are tackling a shed fire on Faraday Road #Wimbledon. Some local roads cordoned off. @Merton_Council @LFBMerton

@nicscho @Merton_Council @AJ_Fairclough It's dire there as a pedestrian, cyclist or motorist, especially as construction works STILL continuing opposite @polkatheatre Can only see it getting worse when works start on other part of the site.

.@Merton_Council Is Pooch Ltd, builder for development on corner of Trinity & South Park Rd, allowed to queue up concrete lorries in residential streets, causing mayhem & danger across busy junction? No warning or traffic barriers etc Why not done on site not road?@AJ_Fairclough

@AJ_Fairclough Has the system flaw been fixed or are there plans to address this? Many residents on X have highlighted this fault, even from the very early days of its use in the borough.

@chris_eud @MrsTateMerton @JeniferGouldCH There are lots of places that doesn't work though - for example, I regularly report Wilton Grove and Merton Hall Gardens and there is no action (also within the last 12 months we discovered a flaw in the system that was marking some things as 'fixed' automatically).

I spotted this leaflet on a street near where I live, shortly after the election. I've been keeping an eye on when it gets removed so we can tell how often the street is swept. Merton Council's contractor is supposed to sweep regularly. It's been here over a month to date!

@nicscho @AJ_Fairclough Same under 4.82 of the document .......

@AJ_Fairclough “….to live”, last, as usual.

(Part of) Next week's full Council agenda is out democracy.merton.gov.uk/ieListDocument… Theme of the meeting below

@gavcsmith @CyclingMerton @Merton_Council Reported overhanging vegetation more than five months when it was marked as "still being investigated". What's to investigate when an image is supplied of issue? Absolutely no update or action! #muckymerton

@CyclingMerton I’d love my local Councillors to come walk with me and see the impact of overhanging hedges from gardens. Overgrown trees plus the rest. It’s such a mission to just use the pavements in @Merton_Council .. but as they all blocked me, not much chance of that happening

This, pretty much everywhere. Active travel infrastructure is substandard to start with, and just gets worse due to lack of maintenance. We have to chivvy the council every single year to do vegetation cutback.

@WimSoc @PlasticEveryday On this issue, disappointing to see @Merton_CouncIl partner @LondonBroncosRL handing out bottles of single-use plastic bottles of water to school children. Our local authority really needs to up its game #boroughofsport

Next week marks the start of Plastic Free July, an initiative challenging us to reduce our single-use plastic waste for an entire month.@PlasticEveryday. How to: ditch pre-bagged fruit & veg & opt for loose options; use a refillable water bottle; reuse bags.

Residents and businesses are invited to put forward questions at Full Council meetings. If you would like to ask a question at the Council meeting on Wednesday 17 July, please email democratic.services@merton.gov.uk by 5pm on Friday 5 July 2024. ow.ly/hO4x50StAPE

@nicscho @MarkGale It's amazing that parties of all colours can get away with presenting inaccurate information in flyers. If a business put misleading info in an advert they'd be hauled up by the @ASA_UK

@MarkGale @WimbledonLabour I just handed this back to the (very nice) leaflet lady. Not her fault but the lies are just beyond belief. Imagine the standards in @Merton_Council , run by this same shower of charlatans.

This is a funny flyer. The bullet points why @WimbledonLabour is the Anti-Tory vote in #Wimbledon 1️⃣#Its1997Again (see point 4) 2️⃣Remember the last election (even if Mayoral elections) but forget latest #GE2019 3️⃣Just a nonsense claim not backed up by ANY poll data 4️⃣#ItsNot2019 (forget the latest election results, but remember 27 years ago) Alternatively there are actually organisations which independently advise on Anti-Tory votes, they say voting for Labour (in Wimbledon) could see a win for the Tory candidate. Google search tactical voting sites - all agreeing not to back Eleanor.

As we all swelter in the heat, does anyone know how the 10,000 @Merton_Council trees (AKA as tree whips) planted last year are fairing? Have any of them survived? 🍃🌿🌳🥵

Here's what neighbouring @wandbc are doing about abandoned e-bikes. Would be good to see @Merton_Council review its procedures. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

.@RoyalMail deliveries continue to be erratic in the #Wimbledon area, often arriving in large batches once a fortnight 😡 Hope this doesn't affect @Merton_Council with a #postalvote for #GE2024

@MatthewMarks42 @MarkGale @MordenHallPkNT @Merton_Council @MertonLabour Who writes the script? @Merton_Council or the roadworks contractors?

@Save_MAE @MarkGale @MordenHallPkNT @Merton_Council @MertonLabour Advance of The Warnings... The Sequel!
