“I am very concerned about National Grid's intention to build a second line of pylons across the Isle of Anglesey and would like to state my objections for the following reasons:
A second row of pylons will be detrimental to the tourist industry through creating a wider corridor of spoilt and industrialised countryside. It will also be detrimental to farming due to permanent land loss and restricted practices. Furthermore, it will have a negative impact on property value, an aspect which has been completely ignored by National Grid.
Another concern is the negative health impact of electromagnetic fields generated by two
lines of pylons on humans and farm animals.
In their consultation exercise National Grid ignored the wishes of the people of Anglesey by only presenting one option, when alternative solutions, such as undergrounding and/or a subsea connection are possible and therefore need to be considered. After all, transporting and exporting electricity to England must not happen at the expense of the people of Anglesey. This would be very unfair and ignoring the voice of the people.”
