Estate Agent’s Sign, Upper Dock Street, Newport 13 March 2018
Although there has been much speculation about Bristolians “emigrating” en masse to South Wales, taking advantage of the abolition of Severn Crossing tolls later this year, this is the first direct commercial reference to this I have seen. This goes a long way to explain the developers’ mania for house building in Torfaen, especially Cwmbran. Their brochures are clearly aimed at prospective purchasers from out of area, describing as they do where Cwmbran is located, what wonderful facilities it offers, how good the road and rail commuting links are etc. All facts well known to locals, very many of whom could not afford a lot of the houses being built. Cwmbran may well become a dormitory area for Bristol.
