Abolish road tax until local councils and Highways England fix existing potholes
With thousands of potholes across our roads and highways that are causing damage to vehicles on a daily basis, its time something is done about it. Not only does it cost road users repair bills but also causes a risk of accident to bike users on the road.
I believe we need to stop paying money for our roads if those roads are not up to a standard to drive on. The public is required by law to have a roadworthy vehicle so why is the local councils/Highways England allowed to have roads that are not worthy of a vehicle to use?
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the condition of roads, but we're not sure what criteria you want to be set for when vehicle excise duty can be charged again.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
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
You can already claim compensation if your vehicle has been damaged by a road. You can find out to do this here: www.gov.uk/claim-for-damage-to-your-vehicle
