Firstly, I think a line needs to be drawn at some point and we need to say enough is enough. I’m only 25 years old so have lived with the present line of pylons all of my life, and just accepted them, as much as I don’t like them, but now with this proposed second line, I have to express my concerns and say I think enough is enough. This is another example of us using old solutions to new problems - why, when other countries have completely moved away from pylons and are only looking at undergrounding or other alternatives, can we in Wales not do the same? There is clearly a very strong objection to another row of pylons on Anglesey, so why isn’t that objection being taken into consideration? We need a 21st century solution to this problem.

Another row of pylons would be detrimental in so many respects - Pylons are a poor legacy for future generations, which is surely something which has to be considered under the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act? Especially when other solutions such as underground and subsea possibilities exist for these cables. I understand some form of impact assessments have been done, but surely this calls - given that it is such a massive decision that will affect all on Anglesey for years to come - for a full, comprehensive impact assessment in terms of affects on housing prices, tourism, health and so on.

I am very blessed to live in the most beautiful place in the world, as Anglesey is second to none for many positive reasons in my opinion, but to erect another line of ugly, unnecessary pylons across our island would be a huge mistake for many reasons and it would show that the significant objections of the people of this island against this proposal are not taken seriously by the powers that be. No to pylons. Let’s be more inventive and more forward-thinking in order to preserve our incredible island and let’s have Anglesey lead the way in innovative solutions to problems such as this. Undergrounding all the way.
