Rejected petition Repair Our Roads Now! We need an urgent repair Plan on Dangerous Potholes Now!

The Government must step in now with an urgent action plan: necessary funding, strict repair deadlines for local councils, investment in more resurfacing where needed, and full transparency on spending. Safe roads are essential for the national economy, communities, businesses, and daily life.

More details

We believe this is now an Emergency. The Government needs to urgently step up and ensure local councils are delivering lasting solutions to what is now a crisis. This issue has been left to seriously deteriorate, leaving people across the country frustrated and suffering the consequences. In particular Cyclists and Motorcyclists face a daily danger of death as a result.

We face endless repair bills for tyres, wheels, and suspensions damaged by crumbling roads. During a cost of living crisis!
