Roadworks mean delays for drivers for two months
They will affect Higham Road and parts of the A6 in Burton Latimer, Northamptonshire.
North Northamptonshire Council said the work, which started on Monday and continues until 22 September, would be split into two phases.
During this period, the speed limit of 60mph (96km/h) will be reduced to 30mph (48km/h) and closures and temporary traffic lights were to be expected.
It said the two planned phases of the work to resurface Higham Road and install new traffic signals were:
From Monday 21 July to Friday 29 August: Higham Road will be closed and two-way temporary traffic lights in place 24-hours a day on the A6 along the Burton Latimer/Higham Ferrers interchange
From Friday 29 August to Monday 22 September: Higham Road will remain closed, with two-way traffic lights on the A6 only during the hours of 08:00 to 17:00 BST. Outside these hours, the A6 will remain open.
Chris McGiffen, North Northamptonshire Council's Reform UK executive member for highways and travel, said: "Once complete, this work will make a significant difference to this particular stretch of the A6 - improving safety for all users.
"We understand that any disruption can be frustrating, but the long-term benefits will outweigh the short-term delays."
He said the council appreciated residents' patience while the work was carried out.
The works along the A6 are part of the Safer Roads Fund, a road safety initiative for local authorities funded by the Department for Transport.

Residents say kerb is causing a 'hubcap graveyard'
There are no safety concerns over what locals have described as a "killer kerb" that is creating a "hubcap graveyard", according to a council. The 35cm (13ins) trief kerb in Fisherton Street, Salisbury, is designed to stop vehicles mounting the pavement. Resident Tracy Beneke said she had witnessed it being hit several times a day, with the kerb now so notorious it has its own Facebook page. Wiltshire Council's cabinet member for highways Martin Smith said the kerb had always been there but was recently renewed, adding the safety of pedestrians was the "key concern" at the junction. Ms Beneke said the kerb was hit "several times a day every day", adding: "There used to be a hubcap graveyard just on the corner. "I think you could have built a whole new car out of the pieces we've seen." The kerb has been listed as a tourist attraction on Google Maps and has multiple Facebook pages dedicated to it. Chad Lansdale set up one of the Facebook pages and said people have been divided in their opinions about the kerb. "You've got people saying it shouldn't be here. On the flipside, you have people saying 'it's a kerb, it's your own fault [if you hit it]'." He added: "There's big chunks taken out of it which would take quite a bit of force. People aren't just tapping it." Mechanic Geddy Porter has fixed damage on cars which have hit the kerb and said repairs can cost thousands of pounds. "We've had a few customers who have done the same thing," he said. "All on the bottom edges of the cars." Driving instructor Andy Woodger said driver error is behind the issue. "Don't put your car where your eyes have not been first," he added. "The way I would teach all my pupils is as they approach the give way to make the left turn is to keep the kerb in view," he said. "Either aim your door mirrors in line with the kerb or keep an eye on the kerb in your passenger side window." More news stories for Wiltshire Listen to the latest news for Wiltshire The kerb is on a junction near Salisbury Railway Station which the council said was used by 11,000 motorists every day. Mr Smith said the trief kerb has been there a long time, but was renewed in 2024 to create a welcoming environment for pedestrians. He said a safety audit had been completed and there were no concerns about the position of the kerb for vehicles. "Trief kerbs are higher than a traditional kerb and are designed to prevent vehicles mounting the pavement and hitting pedestrians," he added. "They are an approved product for use in the public highway, used throughout both the county and country." Follow BBC Wiltshire on Facebook, X and Instagram.

Test-Driving The Isuzu D-Max V-Cross
Isuzu D-Max V-Cross The Isuzu D-Max faces fierce competition, having done so since the first-generation pick-up was launched back in 2001. However, the latest guise is attractive, packed with tech, and is reasonably priced, but should you hand your hard-earned cash to Ford instead? After a week of use, here are my thoughts on the Isuzu D-Max. What Is The Isuzu D-Max V-Cross? The V-Cross sits second from the top in Isuzu's D-Max pick-up range, costing £38,255 (OTR + VAT). Buyers can choose from five models: the entry-level Utility, the DL20 and DL40, V-Cross, and the range-topping Arctic Trucks AT35, which costs a mighty £57,005. My loaner was the V-Cross—think of it as Isuzu's answer to the Ford Ranger Wildtrak. Isuzu D-Max V-Cross All versions get the same 1.9-litre 162bhp 265lb ft engine found in the previous D-Max, and buyers can choose from a six-speed manual, with a lock-out to prevent you from accidentally choosing reverse instead of first gear, and a six-speed automatic, like the one tested here. All Isuzu D-Max pick-ups come with four-wheel drive as standard, except the cheapest Utility guise, which is rear-wheel drive only. Likewise, each version will haul 3.5 tonnes and carry more than one tonne in payload. My test car was also equipped with a hard top and a light bar - it looked the business. Driving The Isuzu D-Max V-Cross The D-Max has always been a durable and dependable workhorse, but Isuzu has added a new Rough Terrain model for better off-road traction as part of a recent refresh. It also gets various safety and infotainment upgrades, but underneath, it's the same old no-nonsense pick-up truck. I spent most of my time driving the D-Max on the road. Here, it performed well, although the 1.9-litre powerplant felt incredibly underpowered when overtaking or climbing hills. Likewise, diesel clatter is present under acceleration and the automatic gearbox, while smooth, hesitated before dropping cogs. Isuzu D-Max V-Cross interior Its turning circle is mighty impressive at 12.5 meters. It outperforms the Ford Ranger here, and means it's less cumbersome when navigating through tight towns. It gets an overhauled infotainment system, and all versions get an 8.0-inch screen as standard, while the V-Cross gets a larger 9.0-inch screen. The system is easy to use and the touchscreen is quick enough. Its interior won't win any design awards, but everything inside the D-Max is functional, the materials are solid, and there's plenty of room in the back for two adults and a medium-sized dog. Isuzu D-Max V-Cross Practicality And Load Space The Double Cab's bed offers 1,520mm versus the Single Cab's 2,290mm, putting the former at the lower end of the market. Isuzu D-Max V-Cross load bed With the hard top equipped, my loaner's space was reduced even further. It was also fitted with a zipped carpet that could be removed with a wrestle, but I found it easier to blanket the rear during skip runs. Isuzu D-Max V-Cross Verdict The Isuzu D-Max V-Cross is a handsome and durable brute capable of towing 3.5 tonnes, like its rivals. It's not anywhere near as polished or as powerful as the Ford Ranger, but the latest refresh has added much-needed refinement. Therefore, if you need a pick-up truck that'll keep on trucking, the D-Max is a fantastic choice. The Isuzu D-Max is easy to use, is capable off-road, will carry lots if you choose the right body, and comes with a generous warranty.

Test-Driving The Impressively Efficient 2025 Porsche Macan Electric
The entry-level Porsche Macan is a surprisingly efficient electric SUV At last, an electric car that goes as far as it says it will. That's the Porsche Macan in a nutshell. Crucially though, this is the base, entry-level, bottom-of-the-food-chain Porsche Macan. It's the cheapest one. Not the Turbo or the 4S or even the 4. It's simply the Macan Electric. It isn't hugely powerful or particularly quick, but it goes well enough when you put your foot down and, most importantly of all, it goes a very long way. More than that, it reliably goes a long way. Its range indicator is truthful, and it always covers more than three miles per kWh; sometimes even four. To contextualize that one, I borrowed a Genesis GV60 for six months last year and, as lovely as it was, I very rarely saw more than 3.0 miles per kWh. After a week and 500 miles with the Macan, many of them at 70 mph on the motorway, typically where EVs struggle to drive efficiently, it never once fell below 3.0. Most of the time, even after three hours of highway driving, it was returning around 3.5 m/kWh. Multiply that by the capacity of the 95 kWh battery, and you get an approximate real-world range of 332 miles. Porsche estimates 315 miles of range in the US using the EPA test cycle, while here in the UK it states between 333 and 398 miles. Unlike pricier models, the base Porsche Macan has a single motor and is rear-wheel-drive. When you finally have to visit a charger – which I didn't until driving from London to Devon and part-way back – the Macan fills its battery quicker than almost any other EV on the road. Porsche claims a maximum charge rate of 270 kW, but in typical Porsche fashion that figure is conservative. Within seconds of plugging in, my Macan shot up to 274 kW. A top-up from 15 percent (47 miles indicated) to 60 percent (190 miles indicated) took just 15 minutes. This is how electric cars should work. They don't need to distort their driver's face every time he or she presses the accelerator. They should provide a satisfying surge of power and torque at low speed – enough to raise a smile when exiting a junction, overtaking or joining a highway – then settle down and return many, many miles per kilowatt-hour. What else? Performance aside, the base Macan is just like every other model in the range. It looks the same, inside and out, and that means typically smart, sophisticated and thoughtful Porsche design. The interior is a triumph, neatly blending technology and tactility so that the driver can keep their eyes on the road while adjusting key controls, like interior temperature, by feel. It's not a particularly exciting cabin, but it's one that feels smart, premium and reassuringly well-made. The interior features a mix of modern tech and tactile switchgear. There's adjustable ambient lighting (but not too much), a bright, sharp and responsive touchscreen in the middle, an all-digital driver display that can be made to look like a classic Porsche instrument cluster, and a secondary display that gives you physical toggle switches for the climate control. There are even proper, physical buttons on the steering wheel too. No haptic track pads, and it's all the better for it. In a world where some automakers are obsessed with equipping cars with low-quality iPads instead of proper switchgear, at Porsche common sense prevails. I said earlier how this base-level Macan isn't particularly quick. But it still has 360 PS in European-speak (about 355 old-fashioned horsepower), 563 Nm of torque (415 ft-lb) and can sprint to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds. That's about the same as a 996-generation Porsche 911 Carrera. To spend a long, meandering paragraph on how the entry-level Macan handles on a tight and challenging road would be to miss the point. It's fine. More than fine, in fact. It handles surefootedly, steers precisely, rides comfortably and never breaks traction. There's a dial on the steering wheel for changing drive mode, but in reality you'll leave it in the default setting. Sport mode is there if you really want it, and technically the quoted 0-60 time is only achievable with launch control enabled (press both pedals when stationary and release the brake like you've stood on a Lego brick). But in the real world you'll drive about knowing you're in a high-end, German electric SUV. You'll occasionally glance down at the Porsche badge on the steering wheel and smile, then you'll look at the range and efficiency readout, and smile even more. Although not remarkably quick, the entry-level Macan still drives nicely. I'd also like to praise the UK's EV charge network, which in just a few years has grown and matured significantly from the days when chargers were slow and frequently broken. Both top-ups with the Macan were completely painless, with no queue at either station and no faulty chargers either. This seamlessness is aided by Porsche's charge network subscription, which gives drivers access to a wide range of chargers, and its route-planning app, which creates a charging strategy for every long journey. I particularly like how Porsche offers a branded key fob with an integrated RFID chip; tap this on the charger instead of using the charge station's own app, and the top-up will be billed to the credit card on your Porsche account. Tesla has offered such a service for a decade with its Supercharger network, but it's nice to see other manufacturers offering a similar service now too, and in many cases providing access to many more chargers than those installed by Tesla. Porsche isn't alone, of course. Electric cars are quickly becoming ever-more efficient, and charging faster than ever. Public charging is still expensive, especially compared to plugging in at home, and depreciation is still a concern. But the whole infrastructure is finally starting to work as promised – and the Macan, even in entry-level form, is a prime example of an EV done right.
