GB News: HGVs could be banned from major A-roads amid growing petition and safety concerns for vital route
Central Bedfordshire communities are considering new regulations to address issues with heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) on local roads. In Stotfold, a proposed 7.5-tonne weight limit on Wrayfields aims to redirect lorry traffic to the A1 dual carriageway, while Leighton Buzzard residents seek to eliminate a training vehicle exemption on Stanbridge Road's existing weight restriction.
Both initiatives reflect concerns over road safety and environmental impacts in residential areas. Residents are encouraged to provide feedback on these proposals, with a deadline set for August 29. Increased HGV traffic has raised alarms about safety for pedestrians, particularly schoolchildren, and the overall suitability of these roads for heavy vehicles.

The exhibition "Art brut. The Decharme donation to the Centre Pompidou" at the Grand Palais features only two African artists among 156 participants, highlighting a lack of representation. Beninese artist Ezekiel Messou's works reflect outsider art's unique style, while an anonymous Angolan artist's drawings were also included.
Bruno Decharme, co-curator, emphasizes the need for a different interpretative framework to explore African outsider art, which may not align with Western concepts of artistic expression. The exhibition runs through September 21, 2025.
