Road rage

Last month I had to pay for four new tyres because of the state of our roads.
I went to make a report at the police station but they sent me to ADT, as the road that caused the damage was the transport authority’s concern. However, the ADT said that they don’t have money for compensation. So where are our taxes and licence fees going to?
As our roads are very poor, especially after bad weather, it is possible to change one’s car tyres every month. I live on government income, as I am a single parent, and this month I had to live miserably because half of my income went towards fixing the damage.
To whom shall I talk, as ADT said I have to go to court to get compensation, and I can’t afford more expenses?
