The representation I would like to make will focus on the impact of a second row of pylons crossing Ynys Mon/Anglesey in terms of the effects on the island's landscape, its important tourist industry and working farmland as well as the human impact on island life and communities to those of us living here. Firstly, I would like to question why it is necessary to scar our landscape with ugly pylons when other alternatives exist such as undersea cables and underground transmission. I understand to use these alternatives would cost a mere 11 pence a year extra to Anglesey residents. Secondly,the beauty of our island with its coastal path and rugged countryside attracts many tourists. Recently, Angkesey has been ranked the second most beautiful place to visit in the UK. Clearly, farming is important and land would be lost to the runs alongside pylons. For these reasons, the building of further pylons would detract from our island's beauty and future prosperity, which as one of the poorer regions in Wales, we desperately need. All of this would undermine the quality of life for existing communities and damage job prospects in tourism. I urge you to consider the alternatives to keep our island beautiful and for our children and grandchildren's future prosperity.
