Motion NDM6209 Rhun ap Iorwerth
To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
Believes that:
a) the National Grid should use underground or undersea cables or alternatives to carry electricity through National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Wales where feasible;
b) there should be a presumption in favour of underground cables or alternatives rather than electricity pylons in any new or current developments in Wales by the National Grid; and
c) a feasibility study should be carried out of the possibility of removing current pylons and replacing them with underground cables or other alternatives.
