Rejected petition Get central government to increase funding to improve our roads/highways

Government to increase funding to improve our roads. They have been in a steady decline over the last 10+ years. Recently our roads (locally & nationally) have become dangerous to drive on. We have a legal obligation to make sure our vehicles are road worthy, yet the roads are not safe to drive on.

More details

The roads are horrific to drive on. I feel that there will be a fatality due to the unsafe conditions of our roads. Especially for vulnerable road users like cyclists or people on motorbikes. The pothole repairs we see last only a couple of weeks/months, such a waste of tax payers money. The contractors should be held accountable for their work.
