Many local and major roads can not be used without risk to vehicles, or endangering the safety of road users, due to the desperately poor condition of public highways. These public highways are essential to the social and economic viability of the local communities and the country as a whole.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
The UK Government is only responsible for transport in England. National Highways is responsible for England's motorways and major roads, and local authorities are responsible for the maintenance of local roads.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase funding for maintenance of roads in England, if that's what you want to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
