Residents on Burton Road are exhausted by the constant noise and danger, blaming stubborn drivers who ignore the new route — even as signs point the way. National Highways’ overnight A1 resurfacing caused the initial diversion, but now signage is updated — yet drivers still seem stuck in old habits. One resident says some drivers get aggressive when confronted, and he’s calling for police enforcement of the 7.5-tonne weight limit. Leicestershire Police are stepping in to talk to HGV drivers and gather data to find lasting solutions — while the council watches, hoping drivers will finally follow the signs.
