We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for. Decisions about defective roadworks are a matter for Local Authorities, not the UK Government or Parliament. You could raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

Background
Notably more potholes form in areas where recent utility or service works have been carried out. Whereby cutting in has compromised the integrity of the surrounding road surface. Why should local authorities foot the bill for repair works caused by substandard work. Either the full road should be reinstated or responbility for maintaining the road should fall to that party for a having the privilege of those easements.
