Rejected petition BCP Council Regularly fill in pot holes that are reported.

Our tax money is not being spent wisely. Instead of focusing on the government’s initiative for a cycling infrastructure, by actually focusing on filling pot holes will benefit all road users including the most vulnerable cyclists and motorcycles.

This will prevent negligence on the respondents part (BCP Council) and save the council money paying civil court claims for their act of negligence against multiple claimants. It will improve road safety and save funding from emergency services being called to potential Road Traffic Collisions. It simply is not safe under the Road Traffic Act for this to continue.
