Improve the Road Surface Conditions on Pound Road

Recent signers:
Nick Thorne and 19 others have signed recently.

The Issue

Pound Road has become increasingly unsafe, and it is now a genuine cause for concern for residents, commuters, cyclists, and pedestrians alike. Over time, its surface has significantly deteriorated, with potholes, cracks, and uneven sections creating hazards for vehicles and putting vulnerable road users at even greater risk. What was once a manageable inconvenience has developed into a daily safety issue for everyone who relies on this route.

Beyond the immediate risk of accidents and vehicle damage, the road’s condition affects the wider community. Emergency services, school transport, local businesses, and residents all depend on safe and reliable infrastructure. Continued neglect not only increases repair costs in the long term but also undermines confidence in the upkeep of our local roads.

This is not simply about convenience, it is about safety, accountability, and protecting our community. By signing this petition, you will help send a strong and united message to South Gloucestershire Council that resurfacing Pound Road is urgently needed. Together, we can demonstrate that this issue matters and that timely action must be taken before the situation worsens further.
