What the petition asks
Make councils have annual roads checks in their areas an mot for road surfaces to ensure they are safe. Roads are always being dug up and relaid poorly. Offices need to liaise when the roads are being dug up so Utilities etc. can all check at the same time if work is required
I hit a pot hole on east lancs while on my motorbike nearly threw me off poor road maintenance by all councils i assume maintenance comes partially from road tax also my vehicles are all taxed insured and mot compliment safe for roads unfortunately the roads are no longer safe for vehicles
