Clear the roads of Birmingham
> Birmingham residents demand safe, pothole-free roads! Our streets are riddled with damage, posing daily risks to drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. We urge the City Council to allocate immediate funding to repair and resurface our crumbling roads. Sign this petition to demand safer streets.
The current state of our infrastructure is unacceptable for a major city. Vehicle damage from deep potholes is costing families hundreds of pounds in avoidable repair bills during a cost-of-living crisis. Furthermore, uneven surfaces endanger vulnerable road users and delay emergency response vehicles when every second counts. We pay our taxes and deserve infrastructure that reflects our investment. It is time for a comprehensive, long-term road maintenance plan, not just temporary patch jobs.
