Rejected petition Stop filling the potholes and repave the roads instead

Stop handing out over priced contracts to patch in holes, give contracts to companies who will resurface the roads correctly at a reasonable cost.

More details

Lots of Drivers are having to dangerously avoid potholes, hitting potholes and ruining their wheels, tyres and suspension (which they’re having to pay for out of their hard earned). It’s time to resurface the roads correctly and stop with the patchwork quilts! Pot hole repairs are a money making racket, let’s use taxes correctly to build long lasting, quality tarmac!
