“I am writing to you to object to National Grid's plan to construct a second line of high voltage power pylons across Anglesey, as I am deeply concerned that this would have a very negative impact on the island as a whole, not only those areas in the vicinity of the line. Anglesey is a very popular destination for family holidays and for visitors who come to enjoy the unspoilt, natural beauty of this islands and the magnificent views it offers. A corridor of monster pylons will no doubt have a detrimental impact. The negative impact on people's and farm animals' health and well being is another very serious concern. Finally, I would like to point out that National Grid's consultation exercise was deeply flawed and undemocratic in that it presented an already foregone conclusion, i.e. overhead cables, failing to take the people's and the County Council's preference of alternative solutions, such as a subsea connection or undergrounding of cables seriously. Neither did the planning documentation include reference to any negative impact a second row of pylons would have on property values. I very much hope that you will give my concerns due attention.
