“I would like to express my deepest concern over National Grid's intention to construct a second high voltage power line across our island. There is no doubt that a second line of pylons in addition to an already existing one will have a detrimental impact on Anglesey.
The growing number of visitors who come to the island to enjoy its areas of outstanding natural beauty make a significant contribution to the island economy. However, a second line of monster pylons will inevitably have a very negative impact on views and thus threaten Anglesey's status as a popular tourist destination.
I am also very worried about the negative impact the electromagnetic fields generated by two lines of high voltage power pylons on people and farm animals. In view of the inconclusive evidence currently available on the negative health impact on humans and animals, any potential risks must be avoided at all cost.
There is no mention in National Grid's planning application how a second line of pylons will affect property values. This is a serious omission which has very negative consequences for those living in the vicinity of their properties unable to sell their homes.
All in all National Grid's consultation exercise has been very flawed in that the people's concerns have not been taken seriously and have not been accommodated in their planning. This is very undemocratic and unfair.
