Scottish Borders Council to repair roads they are responsible for

The Issue

Condition of roads in Scottish Borders has worsened over last few years, now not a one day goes by without burst tyre! Condition of road in Borders put people in danger and some roads/ streets are not fit for purpose. It feels that Scottish Borders Council avoiding repairing roads unless the same potholes reported regularly. When it rains potholes becoming invisible death traps. 
I would like people to sign this petition with hope this would force Scottish Borders Council to invest in permanent repairs and road resurfacing.  
Scottish Borders population is over 110k and increasing, we welcome new housing developments, businesses, tourism, we are in need of sound infrastructures.
