Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Like most people who live and drive in Wiltshire I am feed up of driving on worn out dangerous roads full of pot holes some big enough to fit a wheel in side day in day out.
These are causing damage to vehicle because of the poor state of the roads and the lack of maintenance for many years has i be-leave come to the point were the council must be forced to repair the roads because they not doing any thing about the matter.
We pay road tax, fuel tax, council tax, why should we have to keep paying for repairs to vehicles when damaged as a result of the state of the highways..
