So, lucky people of Cemaes - you now have planning for the largest Welsh Solar Farm on your doorstep, huge replacement wind turbines, a decommissioning nuclear power station and a second nuclear power station on it way.
Having also just missed out on routing for onshore cables from the Rhiannon Wind Farm and the Skerries Tidal Array and the associated transformer stations!
Having closed down the anti-knock and bromine plant Amlwch an LPG storage facility was suggested to feed gas to Lancashire. Former mining residues at are so toxic that the areas have to be kept under water to prevent polluted dust blowing about.
Meanwhile, hotels and campsites have closed down as land is bought up around the development site, coastal footpaths diverted.
If only the natural beauty and AONB areas had as much weight and got as much support for tourism infrastructure to lead a more pleasant way of securing a long term future.
Visual descriptions of the area around Wylfa, Anglesey, soon to be the site of Wylfa Newydd. What does this area look like now? Watch the changes as they happened. How will this area be changed by the new construction works? Will I still be in the area to see it all happen? The answer is now, no. House sold on 27th January 2016. How might this blog be continued? If you start a new one on Wylfa WalkerNewydd? please let me know and link to this one.

End of Blog Posts due to Relocation
Sorry to inform regular readers that I have had to sell up and move away from the area.
Not directly associated with the new power station, but caused by the impending developments in Tregele.
How might this Blog continue?
It's possible to keep an eye on planning developments from a distance, but keeping up to date photographs as how things develop could only be done e someone who walks around the area on a regular basis. And I don't really see anyone who does that. In fact the whole area is pretty much deserted most of the time.
If anyone local - perhaps a couple of people sharing the activity, but independent of Horizon or the Council, wants to submit photos to me on a regular basis to show how things change? Get in touch. It would be great to keep up to date with how things develop.

Hinckley Point Delays
BBC News about delays to Hinckley Point.
Share price in EDF has halved as energy prices drop.
"It's facing a costly refurbishment programme to extend the life of its French nuclear plants. And in Hinkley Point C, it would be committing to a project that will cost more than its current market capitalisation."

Temporary Road for Electric Cable Laying
A short section of a temporary road is being constructed to be able to lay the electric cables being placed underground. This section is at Tregele and is required because of the size of cables required here. The larger cabled required here can not be placed in the narrow trench being cut for the other sections.
