I’m not sure there’s a specific section for this, but in the area of Glenfield Road, near Henton Road and Bolton Road corners, there is a regular, very nasty strong smell of something like burning plastic/chemicals. Usually on cold days in the morning about 9.30-10.30am and then in the afternoon 1-2pm approximately, seemly on work days. If it’s not windy the smell lingers for some time at street level. -Flat 1, 44 Glenfield Road, Leicester, LE3 6AQ
