	The Port Talbot section of the M4 is one of the archetypical brutalist motorway plans that could only have happened in the 1960s, demolishing houses like they were going out of fashion. As if the original construction (documented in [[MT 39/1061]] and elsewhere) ~~was~~ bad enough, even after the motorway was finished, houses were still being pulled down due to subsidence, and becoming unsellable because nobody wanted their upstairs bedroom to be within 30ft of a major motorway. The Ministry of Transport bought a number of properties, then after quite a bit of delay, and complaints of vandalism, decided to put them on the open market at a knocked down price.
