Fix the roads in Kirkby in ashfield

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Nottingham city council are failing repeatedly to fix dangerous potholes in our area. We need to be given money as part of the new budgets to fix our roads.
Despite repeated reports to the council regarding the dangerous roads, they are either not fixing it at all. I have evidence where I have reported holes as being fixed and I have had to ring up because they hadn't been fixed, or they are not repairing the holes properly meaning the same holes are re-appearing time and time again.
Residents are suffering seriously expensive damages to Thier cars, because of hundreds of holes in breach of the highway code that the council fail to repair.
