Petition Create a central body to manage the maintenance and development of all roads
The maintenance and development of all roads currently managed by local authorities should be centralised. Responsibility should be removed from local authorities and handed to an independent, properly funded and governed, competent, professional, central body covering the whole country.
More details
The establishment and maintenance of an effective transport infrastructure is a key measure of a successful first world country. We believe it is readily apparent that the majority of local authorities across the UK have wholly failed in this duty with regard to the road network over decades and that the problem is getting measurably and rapidly worse. Government should redirect the responsibility and funding to a new body with the sole responsibility for managing the road network.
