Require daily council tax discounts by councils that fail to maintain roads

Motorists have to keep our cars roadworthy and can be fined if they are not kept to the standard, I believe we should be holding local authorities to the same standard, that if a road is not adequately maintained, then they should be required to reduce council tax charges for each day until it is.

Local authorities are allowed to charge us for driving through certain areas based on emissions. Whilst that is a different argument for another time, we believe that local authorities should be required to reduce council tax charges for each day, for each road that is not adequately maintained and car worthy.

This should be an impactful enough amount to ensure that the local authority actually takes accountability and makes the appropriate action within a reasonable time.
