When I came to view, and eventually purchase the house many moons ago, the new road was just a rumour. Nothing was 100%. So I very happily moved in, knowing 20 odd years into the future there was the chance of said new build.
14years later I have be honest and say it has been a bit of a nightmare, the noise has been horrendous, what with the pile driving and all that. At times, the whole house has shook.
Hopefully, when it's all done and dusted, the traffic noise level should go down, if people actually use the road correctly, then they won't have come all the way down Foregate st etc to go to Newport. Unless they have been town and have to use the Doxey Road.
