It even comes with a 'beach'
Residents living underneath Birmingham's infamous Spaghetti Junction say despite the noise, pollution and traffic they love it - and it even comes with its own 'beach'. Gravelly Hill Interchange is the UK's busiest motorway junction and is one of the country's most iconic concrete structures which turned 50 last year.
Others say sirens can be heard at all hours and traffic causes dust and dirt to settle in their homes, gardens and on cars. But despite a string of issues that would seemingly put most house-hunters off, many residents there say they enjoy living by such an iconic landmark. He said: “I don’t live far from here at all, have done for 10 years. It doesn’t bother me. I actually enjoy it otherwise it gets quiet. The road is mostly busy from people who want to take the motorway to get off of it. It can get quite dusty.
“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.
“When Aston Villa play it gets rammed with cars. People park here, they dump the cars everywhere. They literally park straight across all the time I have been woken up early when they toot their horns early or sirens."
