“I wish to register my objections to the proposed second row of pylons across Anglesey:-

1. The residents of Anglesey were never given any alternative options - just pylons. This makes all the consultations flawed

2. The consultations carried out by National Grid did not consider other methods of transmission such as microboring, laser guided auger boring or directional drilling all of which are possible and far less intrusive than constructing pylons. After construction using any of these methods the landscape would be unaffected.

3. More pylons would create an unacceptable major intrusion in the landscape. Although the transmission line will not run through the AONB it will be visible from within it. This will adversely effect the tourist industry which is the main economic factor on Anglesey.

4.The entire island is a UNESCO Geo Park with rocks from 4 Eras and 12 Geological Periods. As such it is unique and should be protected.

5. There are conflicting views regarding the health implications of overhead power lines some medical research points to serious concerns regarding the level of impact on health.

6. The Welsh “Well-being of Future Generations Act” 2015requires

“a society in which people’s physical and mental wellbeing is maximised and in which choices and behaviours that benefit future health are understood “

This clause is being ignored. Medical research is being disregarded.

7. National Grid’ proposals are undemocratic and are ignoring the voice of Anglesey has thus far been ignored. 13,500 people have signed a petition opposing the building of a new line of pylons. That is almost half the eligible voting population of the island.

8. The County Council, all the Community Councills, the MP Albert Owen and the Assembly Member Rhun ap Iorwerth are united in opposition to a second row of pylons

In conclusion for all the above reasons there should be a better and more acceptable solution to transmission across Anglesey”
