“National Grid's plan to construct a second line of high voltage power cables across Anglesey poses a number of issues which of are of great concern to me. For example, the consultation exercise was ineffective in that it only paid lip service to the democratic principle by ignoring the people's voice. Our preference for the undergrounding of cables and/or a subsea connection was completely ignored on the basis of cost. Instead, we were presented with the foregone conclusion of a second row of pylons.
I fail to accept that exporting electricity to most of England should be done at the expense of the people of Anglesey. This is grossly unfair.
Another concern is the detrimental impact a second line of monster pylons will pose to the health and well being of people and farm animals. There is no proof that the electromagnetic fields generated by a corridor of pylons is safe. I therefore object to National Grid's plan.
I am also very concerned about the damage a second line of pylons will do to the tourism industry due to the negative impact of views. This will put Anglesey's status as a popular tourist destination at risk resulting in loss of revenue and jobs.
In view of the concerns raised I appeal to you pay due attention to the people's voice by not approving plans for a second line of pylons dissecting this beautiful island.
