Looking along Bettws Lane towards Monnow Way. Apart from a few narrow country roads, Bettws Lane is the only access road to and from Bettws, one of the largest modern housing estates in Europe - its population at the 2001 census was 8,200. It is therefore no surprise that Bettws Lane gets very congested at peak travel times. Elsewhere in Newport, Forge Lane was renamed Forge Road some time ago. Perhaps it's time that Bettws Lane became Bettws Road, or perhaps Bettws Avenue (there are many trees along its length)
