“I am against the construction of a second row of pylons running alongside the existing pylons. I want the cables to be buried underground.
The existing pylons already scar the beautiful natural landscape of Anglesey and to add a second row will industrialise our landscape, much of which has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Anglesey has a heavy reliance on the tourist industry for jobs and economic development. The main assets Anglesey has to sell to tourists are peace, tranquility and the beautiful natural environment - a second row of pylons will destroy this forever. If cables were buried then within a few years no-one would know they were there.
National Grid's approach to the people of Anglesey has been derisory. The consultation was a tick box exercise. They had obviously decided that pylons were the only way forward and undertook a meaning less consultation on potential routes which was divisive within the community. We were not 'consulted' with, there was no interest on NG's part to engage with local people or give anything back to the community.
We owe it to future generations to protect Ynys Mon.
