Petition Action

Take immediate action to improve the unacceptable state of roads within the UK.

Petition Details

Provide funds and ensure an urgent action plan is put in place to improve the state of repair of roads throughout the UK.

Additional Information

Many local and major roads can not be used without risk to vehicles, or endangering the safety of road users, due to the desperately poor condition of public highways. These public highways are essential to the social and economic viability of the local communities and the country as a whole.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

The UK Government is only responsible for transport in England. National Highways is responsible for England's motorways and major roads, and local authorities are responsible for the maintenance of local roads.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to increase funding for maintenance of roads in England, if that's what you want to happen.
