What the petition asks
Fill in the potholes and uneven road surfaces and smooth them over for suitable vehicle use. Redo the road if necessary.
Cars in Newport city are being damaged due to the amount of potholes in the city. We pay hundreds a year in vehicle tax to “pay for the roads” but why should we pay to have our cars on unsuitable roads? They are a MAJOR hazard and need action. We have our cars safety checked to be able to use the road, but why isn’t the road safety checked for the cars? These potholes are causing crashes and injury. Sort it out or we take action ourselves.
Why it was rejected
It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
