“I believe that a second row of pylons have a huge negative impact on the beautiful island of Anglesey. They will be detrimental to views of unspoilt countryside, particularly views from within, and views of, the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Pylons will be detrimental to the tourism industry through spoilt, and “industrialised”, countryside.  Pylons will be detrimental to farming due to permanent land loss and restricted practices.  Pylons will be detrimental to house value, which NGET have not considered.  More pylons will be detrimental to Ofgem achieving their principal objective “… to protect the interests of existing and future electricity … consumers”.

There is a huge amount of scientific research into the health effects of pylons, and there are quite different views, a bit like the research into tobacco in the 1950’s and 60’s. There are serious concerns, and conflicting views, about the health impacts on people and farm animals.  Better to be safe than sorry and not use pylons.

In Wales there is a piece of legislation- “Well-being of Future Generations Act”. The spirit of this Act is consider the impact of what is done today on generations to come. The results of this decision will be felt for decades to come. We owe it to our children and grandchildren to protect them from lowered income due to a fall in tourists, low property prices, loss of farming land, irreparable damage to the landscape and more important than any of those reasons serious health problems all done to take power to England”
