The health issues are very important. There is a huge body of evidence that indicates that the incidents of cancer are raised amongst people who live close to overhead cables.

Tourism is an import part of the eccomomy and wealth of the people of Anglesey. This will be seriously reduced by the increase in the number pylons.

Overhead cables and pylons are visible from the AONB and are a detrimental impact on the landscape.


There are many reasons to object to the proposed second row of pylons but for me the most important is the health risks associated with overhead power lines. The scientific research is inconclusive but nevertheless there is much anicdotal evidence pointing to cases of cancer in people on the island living close to pylons and overhead lines. Until there are clear results to the research no more risks should be taken. Especially as pylons are unnecessary because other, more up to date technology such as subsea is available.

The Welsh “ Well-being of Future Generations Act” requires protection of culture, language and employment. Pylons will adversely effect tourism and property prices all of which will negatively impact on future residents of Anglesey.

Throughout the Consultation Process National Grid failed to listen to the people of Anglesey. There was never any alternative options other than more pylons. Therefore, I believe the consultation was flawed.
