Dr Dave Dawson, local environmental scientist, commented:
“It's sad that a large old ash tree by the cafe has a fungal infection and there's a significant risk of falling limbs. To keep the public safe, unfortunately the tree will be removed.

Sand in the Wimbledon Park Elisabeth Pool risks damaging the pumps and filters
Message from Merton Council /Idverde staff regarding the Wimbledon Park Elisabeth Pool / splash pad:
Please help us keep the splash pool open by making sure children don’t bring sand – especially in buckets – from the sandpit into the pool. Even small amounts of sand can damage the filter & pumps.
