Rejected petition: I want the government to address the ever worsening problem of potholes on roads
Rejected on
I respectfully demand that this issue be treated as a priority and that meaningful steps are taken without delay to repair the potholes on UK roads.
Across the country, motorists are facing increasingly hazardous driving conditions due to poorly maintained road surfaces. Potholes are no longer a minor inconvenience—they pose a serious risk to road safety and are causing significant financial strain on drivers. Vehicles are being damaged daily, with many motorists forced to pay hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds to repair cracked alloys, damaged suspension systems, and punctured tyres.
