Despite the noise and pollution, the residents living in the shadow of the UK’s busiest motorway junction say it has its perks - and even its own ‘beach’
Living by a busy road is a dealbreaker for a lot of people when it comes to choosing a house. But for residents living under the UK’s busiest motorway junction it’s not a problem at all - in fact they ‘love it’.
While these factors would put a lot of people off, many residents there say they enjoy living by such an iconic landmark. Dad-of-one Brian Thomas, 45, said he found the noise of the traffic soothing and joked that it even came with its own beach - a pile of industrial sand next to the canal. “The road is mostly busy from people who want to take the motorway to get off of it. It can get quite dusty. A good thing is that you can tell someone the direction to the business, it acts as a landmark.”
“Because there’s a lot of road traffic there are a few homeless people who stand by the lights.But I've been woken up by the racers in the night who go speeding by. I can hear them racing. They must be doing it on the motorway.” “If you don’t hear sirens, you get worried. You get used to it. It's constant. The wagons don’t stop on the M6. We've got all the roads here, it’s a tangled mess of everything here.
