Review and improve the management of roadworks at the M26-M25 junction.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

1. Roadworks should only restrict lanes when active work is in progress.
2. Government agencies and contractors must ensure minimal disruption, with clear deadlines and real-time updates.
3. Parliamentary review of roadwork efficiency to ensure money is well spent, reducing unnecessary congestion.

1. Commuters and businesses suffer significant economic losses due to avoidable congestion.
2. Emergency services face increased delays due to restricted access.
3. Road users deserve a more transparent and efficient approach to infrastructure upgrades.
By signing this petition, we call on Parliament to debate this issue as part of the broader infrastructure investment strategy, ensuring roadworks are planned and executed in a way that minimizes disruption to the public.
