Episode Details

A brand-new £130 million bypass around Melton, dubbed Pork Pie Way, was meant to divert heavy traffic away from town centers—but residents on Burton Road say it’s made no difference. Trucks still rumble through their streets day and night, with some drivers ignoring the new route entirely. Critics question whether the massive investment was wasted, especially since the bypass is incomplete and traffic patterns haven’t shifted. Residents like Carrieann Silverwood, who moved there hoping for peace, are left frustrated. Authorities admit it’s taking time for drivers to adapt and for navigation systems to update, and they’re working with National Highways to improve signage and monitor feedback.
