The Issue

Many car owners in Salford are facing repeated issues with suspension and tyre punctures due to the poor condition of our roads. As a resident who has experienced these costly and frustrating damages firsthand, I urge Salford Council to take immediate action to address the pothole problem in our community.

Potholes have become a persistent issue in Salford, causing extensive damage to vehicles and posing safety hazards for drivers and cyclists alike. This situation not only leads to expensive repairs for car owners but also raises concerns about road safety and the potential for accidents.

In recent years, there has been a considerable increase in reports of vehicle damage attributed to the deplorable condition of our roads. According to a survey conducted by the RAC, two-thirds of drivers have experienced damage caused by potholes. Moreover, the Annual Local Authority Road Maintenance (ALARM) report highlights a significant shortfall in funding allocated for road maintenance across the UK, further aggravating the problem.

It is essential for Salford Council to implement a comprehensive plan that prioritizes regular road maintenance and timely repairs of existing potholes. By allocating sufficient resources and funding to address this issue, the council can ensure safer roads and avoid future damage-related costs for its residents.

We demand that Salford Council takes responsibility for the current state of the roads theoughout Salford and commits to improving road conditions without further delay. Investing in road infrastructure not only benefits vehicle owners but also enhances the overall quality of life in our community.

Please sign this petition to hold Salford Council accountable and urge them to prioritize urgent road repairs in Salford. By adding your voice, we can collectively ensure safer and smoother roads for everyone in our community.
