The pledge: let's make our voice heard
From rural communities across Victoria
Victoria's country roads are falling apart. By signing, we're pledging to:
- Report every pothole and safety hazard we see.
- Keep raising our voice until the roads are properly fixed, not just patched.
- Share this pledge, so the scale of the problem can't be ignored.
Rural Victoria keeps the state moving. Its roads deserve real investment.
Victoria's country roads are the worst they have ever been.
Ryan Milgate VFF President
Make rural roads impossible to ignore.
Every signature adds weight, so the state of our roads can't be ignored.
