I know what you mean.
During the latter part of lockdown I downsized and moved out of London into what I presumed was a small, quite village in rural Bedfordshire.
Luckily, north of Luton airport, so not on a flight path. Anything northwards, goes to Birmingham!
But, as I have now come to understand, because it was primarily viewed as rural and near an A road, housing developers and huge corporations, think Amazon no less, are moving out of London (far cheaper) and buying up huge swathes of surrounding land via, what I can only presume, is backhanders to Local Councils/Councillors, therefore their lorries are now constantly using those A roads too. With the added noise level and regular, horrific accidents too.
In 30 years time, this entire area will unfortunately be just another disjointed metropolis. Fortunately, as I imagine, I won't be around to witness the final demise of this village. Hey ho, that's life!
