I would like to express my deepest concern over National Grid's intention to construct a second high voltage power line across our island. There is no doubt that a second line of pylons in addition to an already existing one will have a detrimental impact on Anglesey.

Visitors who come to the island, from the large conurbations of the Northwest do so to enjoy its areas of outstanding natural beauty, not to be confronted by rows of monster pylons. There is no doubt, a second line of monster pylons will negatively impact views and deter those visitors who value the natural beauty of this island. Their contribution to the island's economy is substantial and should not be jeopardised.
I am also very worried about the negative impact of the electromagnetic fields generated by two lines of high voltage power pylons on people and farm animals. In view of the inconclusive evidence currently available, any potential risks must be avoided at all cost.
Another concern is to what extent a second line of pylons will affect property prices. This is an issue that has not be mentioned at all in National Grid's planning application. It is a serious omission which has very negative consequences for those living in the vicinity of pylons and consequently are unable to sell their homes.
All in all National Grid's consultation exercise has been flawed in that the people's concerns have not been taken seriously and have not been accommodated in their planning. This is very undemocratic and unfair.
I very much hope that you will pay due attention to all the concerns outlined above.
