Stop spending road tax on other things and repair our roads eg potholes.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The roads in Lancashire are getting worse and the only potholes being repaired are the ones people are not constantly complaining about while others (sometimes on the same road) are just left to get worse. We want to know where are road tax is being spent if not being spent on the roads.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
