Require local authorities to maintain roads to a vehicle worthy standard.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

The roads across the UK have become very badly maintained over the last decade. As a result many are very dangerous and causing extensive damage to our vehicles. We are expected to keep vehicles road worthy, therefore our roads should be of a vehicle worthy standard.
The public should not be expected to pay for endless repairs to our vehicles caused by the poor standards of our roads. The state of many of our roads have caused extensive damage to our vehicles, causing thousands of pounds worth of damage. Local authorities should be required to maintain roads to a better and safer standard.
