Derbyshire Times
"The A617 at M1 Junction 29 Heath Interchange is currently closed and
traffic queueing."

Derby Telegraph:
"Heath Interchange, junction 29 of the M1 - six accidents, nine
casualties, 12 vehicles involved."

Leicester Mercury
"took them from J29, the Heath Interchange, of the M1 all the way to
J23 for Shepshed "

A number of commercial organisations also refer to the junction by
that name, for example:

Premier Inn
"At Heath Interchange, take the second exit onto A617"
