Road safety is a critical concern, and unfortunately, our roads in Pinxton and Selston are riddled with potholes, creating hazardous conditions for drivers, motorcyclists, and cyclists alike. As someone who has personally experienced the dangers these potholes present, I am deeply committed to advocating for timely road repairs. Recently, I suffered an injury when my motorbike's forks bottomed out into a pothole, an incident that could easily have led to a more serious accident.

In Pinxton and Selston, the deteriorating road conditions are not only endangering citizens but also causing substantial damage to vehicles. Local motorists, cyclists, and even pedestrians are at risk every day. While potholes may seem like a minor inconvenience, they have serious implications, causing expensive repairs for cars and bikes and, more alarmingly, contributing to traffic accidents. Nationwide, pothole damage has been estimated to cost drivers £4 billion annually. In addition, these road conditions can deter people from visiting our towns, impacting local businesses and tourism.

We urge the relevant local authorities to prioritize repairing the roads in our community. Regular road maintenance needs to be implemented to prevent these issues from recurring. The immediate attention required will not only enhance the safety of all road users but also improve the overall condition of our local infrastructure.

Sign this petition to demand safe, well-maintained roads in Pinxton and Selston. Let's work together to hold our local government accountable, ensure the safety of our roads, and protect the wellbeing of our community.
