“I wish to protest in the strongest possible way regarding the suggestion to introduce more pylons to Anglesey, this appears to me to be just a cost cutting exercise by a power company looking to make even more profits.

Without doubt the beautiful coast and countryside of Wales as a whole is being ruined by the large amounts of windfarms and more than enough pylons. It is being raped and pillaged to provide power for Merseyside and its environs at great expense to the Principality in the loss of tourism, visitors, investments and the like. Then of course there are the effects on the farming community, the list could go on and on. When my wife and I first moved to North Wales we could look out and see the lights of Colwyn Bay twinkling in the distance, nothing else. Now look at it, it's more like Blackpool Illuminations.

You do not need an Englishman to tell you that Anglesey is a unique, beautiful and ancient island, magnificent in so many ways from charming old fashioned country lanes reminiscent of the good old days to rugged coastline. You, our representatives, shoulder a great burden on our behalf, to look after this heritage, its wildlife, flora and fauna.

I am not against progress but these proposals for more pylons should be treated with the contempt that they deserve and filed away in the nearest trash bin. If more cables are needed put them underground where they belong. Perhaps they should have thought of this before planning a new powers station.
