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.

Decisions about new local roads and local road maintenance are a matter for individual local authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament.

If you're concerned about local roads in your area you could raise this with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here: www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Increase funding for the repair and resurfacing of roads: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/634995

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to suspend national road improvements and redirect funding for these to local authorities, for the resurfacing of local roads.
