“Dear Sir/Madam,
I write to submit my views on the proposed North Wales Connection project (NWC) as put forward by the National Grid (NG). First and foremost, it is no understatement that I have suffered greatly at the hands of NG, which has employed bullying tactics ([Redacted]) to scaremonger me into submission in respect of the enormous pylons it plans to erect next to the boundary of my home. In April 2016, I wrote to NG in response to a deeply alarming letter I received threatening me with legal action of a criminal nature should I not comply with their demands for access to my home. This was not the last time NG threatened me with such spurious claims of legal power, either. NG were misleading in their correspondence, to the point of [Redacted]; declaring themselves to have legal powers over me when they did not. I have kept the letters should you wish to inspect them. The people of Anglesey and their representatives in local government, with the support from Assembly Members have been entirely clear in their objections to a second (or future third, fourth, fifth!) row of pylons being constructed alongside the existing line running across the island from Wylfa. We have urged NG to consider burying the lines or opting for a sub-sea connection instead, but to no avail. They simply refuse to entertain the notion. The additional costs would be, on average, 11 pence per year to UK electricity bill payers should the lines be buried, or a mere 3% increase in budget were Horizon to pick up the tab. Instead, NG is happy to decimate the landscape of our beautiful island in the name of profiteering, not to mention the detrimental effect this project as it stands will have on the tourism and agricultural industries which are the lifeblood of our very modest local economy. I am personally concerned over the effect on Anglesey’s wildlife, specifically in respect of my own plot of land which is home to acres of wildflower meadow, a natural pond where various waterfowl nest as well as the presence of endangered great crested newts. NG commissioned wildlife surveys on my land some years ago, when I was still naïve in thinking they were honestly doing so for the good of the environment and so allowed them access. But despite confirming the presence of the endangered species, they refused to formalise their findings and share them will me in writing; proving their contempt for openness and transparency. It is uncertain what impact this construction will have on the flora and fauna of Anglesey, not the mention that I stand to lose £100,000 in the valuation of my home (a figure confirmed with NG in a valuation survey) a fact which remains unanswered by NG. Why should the people and Anglesey bear the brunt of NG’s unchecked powers and refusal to consult openly and fairly? Why not listen, and bury the lines?”
