Bucks Council have opened a consultation for a proposed vehicle weight restriction in the surrounding villages.
The Ivinghoe Area Freight Zone Traffic Regulation Order is to reduce Heavy Goods traffic in the Cheddington, Ivinghoe and Mentmore area.
The boundaries of the freight zone are east of the A418, north of the A41 and west of the B440.
The traffic order will put in place a 7.5 tonne weight restriction on vehicles travelling through the zone. But there will be an exception for vehicles travelling to destinations within the zone. This means deliveries and collections for local homes and businesses will be unaffected.
To reduce HGV flows through Bierton and the Aylesbury town centre, the preferred route for this traffic is to take the following journey:
Along the Eastern Link Road off the A418 on to the Stocklake Link Road to the A4157 and on to the A41 towards Hemel Hempstead and the M25. This works in reverse for traffic from the A41 wishing to take the A418 towards Leighton Buzzard, Dunstable, the M1, and beyond.
The Council are inviting comments and opinions on the matter, you can do so in one of the following ways:
- complete the short, online comment form below

- write to them at Ivinghoe Freight Zone Consultation, Design Services, Transport for Bucks, Aylesbury Vale Area Office, Corrib Industrial Park, Griffin Lane, Aylesbury, HP19 8BP
