Abolish residential unadopted roads
Rejected

What the petition asks
Adoption of all currently unadopted roads that have residents living on.
We pay council tax and road tax.
Our road is lit by the County Council and trashed by school traffic and delivery vehicles…. Yet it is our responsibility to repair it!! I strongly believe this to be wrong and discriminatory.

All County Counvils should adopt and maintain residential street lit roads.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about adopting new existing roads are a matter for individual highway authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
