Rejected petition Abolish residential unadopted roads

Adoption of all currently unadopted roads that have residents living on.
We pay council tax and road tax.
Our road is lit by the County Council and trashed by school traffic and delivery vehicles…. Yet it is our responsibility to repair it!! I strongly believe this to be wrong and discriminatory.

More details

All County Counvils should adopt and maintain residential street lit roads.
