From: DB on 21 Apr 2010 16:20 Hi, First time writing on but here goes, I dont know about anyone else but potholes really get on my nerves and usually go unfixed for a while, but anyway was looking through the Number 10 Petitions website and thought this was was worth signing: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/MotoristCharter/ The brief from it is: "Put in place a national website for the reporting of pot holes, and establish and enforce local and county councils to effect temporary and/or permanent repairs within strict time limits. A temporary repair should be compulsory within 24 hours of the problem being reported. Funding should come from existing revenue from road users: road tax, council tax, fuel duty, road / bridge / tunnel tolls, speeding fines, parking fines, VAT on fuel, VAT on cars, congestion charges, vehicle first registration fees and benefit-in-kind taxes for company cars." Currently there is 583 signatures, I was just wondering if we could get some support behind this. Thanks for reading Daniel

If you get another 1,999,417 signatures, you might at least get a bit of media coverage of the fobbing-off you'll undoubtedly get.

Check out 'Fix My Street'. And local highways authorities also have reporting mechanisms for pot holes.
