“I am very concerned about National Grid's intention to build a second line of pylons across our beautiful island and would like to state my objections for the following reasons:
A second row of pylons will be detrimental to the tourism due to its negative impact on views. Visitors who come here to find tranquillity and enjoy the natural beauty of this unique island do not wish to be confronted by ugly monster pylons. It would be tragic if Anglesey's status as a popular holiday destination was lost.
A second row of high voltage power cables will be detrimental to farming due to permanent land loss and restricted practices. Furthermore, it will have a negative impact on property values, an aspect which has been completely ignored by National Grid.
Finally, I am very worried about the negative health impact on people, particularly children, who live and play near such pylons.
It would be grossly unfair to transport and export electricity to England at the expense of the people of Anglesey. Other solutions, such as undergrounding of cables and/or a subsea connection, which are the people's and the County Council's favoured options, must be seriously considered as viable alternatives. However, this is where National Grid's consultation exercise was seriously flawed and undemocratic. It completely ignored the people's voice.
I hope you will give these concerns your full attention.”
