This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

Instead, you might like to sign one of the below open petitions, which make similar requests:

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/637420
Introduce new law requiring 'hazardous potholes' be identified and repaired

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

In addition, local authorities already have statutory obligations to maintain the roads they are responsible for, under Section 41 of the Highways Act 1980. The UK Government is only responsible for legislation governing road maintenance in England, because this is a devolved matter in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
