Road closures ahead for station to town link
Motorists have been warned about overnight closures of a main route through a town centre. Resurfacing work will take place between 19:00 and 06:00 BST between 16 June to 4 July on Elizabeth Street in Corby, Northamptonshire, North Northamptonshire Council said. It is part of a project designed to provide a safe and attractive route between the town centre and the railway station. Bus stops along Elizabeth Road will be temporarily suspended and a taxi rank will stop operating during the closures. The previous Conservative government provided the money for the new link which will cover Elizabeth Street, Oakley Road and Station Road. It was part of a £19.9m package of funding. An underpass on Oakley Road will be removed as part of the project. North Northamptonshire Council said it hoped the new route would mean "more people will be encouraged to travel on foot and cycle between the town centre and station, which not only improves people's health and well-being levels but has a positive impact on the environment". A full diversion will be in place during the closures, and residents will also be able to use George Street between 18:00 and 08:00 BST. Access for residents and businesses "will be maintained wherever possible" although "vehicle access may be restricted during the overnight closures", the council said. More information is available on the council's website. Follow Northamptonshire news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.

The 2025 Ford F-150 Lobo Marks the Return of the Factory Street Truck
The 2025 Ford F-150 Lobo Marks the Return of the Factory Street Truck originally appeared on Autoblog. As the top-selling pickup truck, let alone automobile, in the United States, the humble Ford F-150 has been used in various ways by people from all walks of life. Whether hauling mulch, manure, lumber, or a boat or used as a job site work truck, family vehicle, hardcore off-roader, drag racer, or drift truck, someone, somewhere has used an F-150 in a way that has not been pictured in the dealership brochure. It is quite rare for one of the world's largest automakers to acknowledge and create something directly inspired by the enthusiasts who customize their trucks. Ford has already done this with the Ford F-150 Raptor and the subsequent line of lifted off-road style vehicles. However, Ford's latest offering—the 2025 Ford F-150 Lobo—is a nod to another community of enthusiasts, as it's a factory-built street truck that wasn't designed in a boardroom or through a PowerPoint, but crafted by true fanatics who live, breathe, and die by them. View the 4 images of this gallery on the original article Building off the roots sown by the F-150's little unibody brother, the Maverick Lobo, the F-150 Lobo is living proof that while respective manufacturers like Toyota, Ram and Chevrolet discontinued nameplates like the X-Runner, SRT-10 and Silverado SS, street trucks never really died—the true fans kept it on the down low. Enthusiasts have kept the passion for these cool pickup trucks alive through their extensive builds, which often include lowered suspensions, large wheels, loud exhausts, and blacked-out trim. Ford understands the significance of this scene because key people involved in the Lobo's development are part of that community. One of the main designers, Josh Blundo, even drives a street truck himself. They are not just corporate heads backed by bean-counters; they know the target audience because they are the target audience. View the 4 images of this gallery on the original article 'Continuing what Maverick Lobo started last year, the F-150 Lobo is designed to serve a new segment of potential F-150 customers. [...] From an automaker, this has been an untapped market for two decades,' Blundo said in a statement. 'So, on the bones of the Built Ford Tough F-150 truck, we created a street truck that rolls off the line ready to roar, with proven durability and a Ford factory limited warranty for more confidence and peace of mind than aftermarket solutions.' The Lobo is built on the F-150 STX trim and is exclusively offered as a SuperCrew cab (meaning four whole doors), but it ditches its utilitarian guts for style, substance, and a lot more horsepower under the hood. The standard 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 in the STX is yanked out, and in its place is the optional 5-liter V8, a motor that Blundo claims is 'already a superstar in the street truck community.' It produces 400 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, which are transmitted to a two-speed 4WD automatic system and a 3.73 electronic locking rear axle —a setup that provides traction and year-round usability. However, where the F-150 Lobo stands out is in its looks, and from the pictures, it is built to look nothing but menacing. The list of upgrades includes a revised suspension, which drops the rear by two inches for a lower, sleeker stance, a 10-piece body kit for additional ground effects, a unique-styled upper grille, a gloss-black mesh grille, an aggressive cowl hood, a menacing dual exhaust system, and updated LED lighting inspired by its little brother, the Maverick Lobo. The new Lobo also gets a set of street-styled blacked-out exterior trim, including blacked-out hood vents, exhaust, and badges, as well as Lobo-exclusive 22-inch gloss-black wheels. These pieces stand out in the five colors available for the Lobo: Agate Black Metallic, Atlas Blue Metallic, Carbonized Gray, Oxford White, and Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, which Ford says will help buyers 'give their truck the personality they desire.' According to lead designer Blundo, the Lobo in all-black 'looks straight menacing,' and we cannot agree more. Not many details have been given about the interior of the F-150 Lobo. Still, given that it is built atop the STX trim, it comes well-equipped with amenities including seats finished in what Ford calls Unique Sport Cloth, a 12-inch screen featuring Ford's SYNC 4 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a safety suite with features like Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, a Reverse Sensing System, Forward Collision Warning, and a Lane-Keeping System. Blundo and Ford said that the Ford F-150 Lobo is built to be a powerful and stylish street truck for enthusiasts, noting that the modifications it made deliver 'a complete foundation straight off the line,' while recognizing that 'some [owners] will take this great foundation for future personalization' at the same time. As someone who witnessed a few different eras and trends of modified car culture throughout my youth, adolescence, and adulthood, one thing is certain: no matter the scene, it is full of people willing to spend real money on personalization, performance, and style. With the Maverick Lobo and now the F-150 Lobo, Ford isn't just throwing a bone; it's giving loyal enthusiasts a platform to feel inspired. Nonetheless, a truck like the Lobo is a breath of fresh air in a landscape increasingly dominated by electrification, crossovers, and synthetic engine noise; it's a mean, V8-powered machine for the streets. According to Ford, the 2025 F-150 Lobo's MSRP starts at $57,800 plus $2,195 destination and delivery. They also note that the Lobo's package price on the STX is $4,695.

Top Tech Success: Barton's Ag Mechanics program off to a good start
Jun. 13—The Top Tech ag mechanics program at Barton Community College is off to a good start and will continue to grow, according to Mary Foley, executive director of Workforce Training and Economic Development. Foley shared an overview of the first year at Tuesday's BCC Board of Trustees meeting. "There's a lot of excitement and word of mouth," Foley said. Dealerships from Nebraska, Oklahoma and Kansas are visiting with potential students, she added. The college's new Agriculture and Transportation Complex on the east side of the campus was dedicated on July 17, 2024. Barton has a longstanding relationship training mechanics for Case New Holland. The Top Tech program created with CNH support is open to anyone. Six of the first 11 students enrolled completed the certificate program and one student needs to complete his general education courses to receive the certificate. Some students opted to accept employment without finishing the program, she said. Five students are from Barton County, two from Kansas and three from out-of-state, Foley said, adding she wasn't able to track where the 11th student is from. One of the students is a female. Two students are working at KanEquip, one is at Titan Machinery and one is at GTG Peterbilt, all in Great Bend. Another student is at RMAC in Ellinwood and one is at Foley Equipment in Dodge City. One student enjoyed the precision ag class so much he has shifted from ag mechanics to networking and continues studies in that field. Foley mentioned several business partnerships that have enhanced the program. Case New Holland donated an EST scan tool, training transmission and engines, air conditioning components and an older Farmall tractor. Foley said the tractor is a great addition because agriculture mechanics won't always be working on the newest equipment. Central Plains Ag donated a hydraulic cylinder. KanEquip's contributions led to the Top Tech portion of the new complex being named the KanEquip Learning Center. Foley said it continues to support the program by providing student tool kits at a discounted rate. KanEquip also provided technical expertise to Dustin Thompson, the instructor/coordinator. The college also depends on an advisory board for expertise on the industry and workforce needs. Foley said that the board has helped the college bring in guest speakers from KanEquip, GTG Peterbilt, Titan Machinery and the Kansas Department of Transportation.
