A6 Roadworks Spark Dust Storm Frustration

Residents of Leicestershire are furious over roadworks on the A6, where gritting to fix potholes has created a choking dust cloud—especially bad during the heatwave—with one councilor suffering asthma attacks. Drivers report cracked windows and flying stones, while locals call the dust worse than Sahara sand. The council defends the summer surface dressing as necessary to prevent potholes and water damage, noting the dust is temporary and will settle with daily sweeping and a 10mph speed limit. They’re asking for patience as they work to restore road usability. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
