Stop the rapid expansion of AI data centres in the UK

Stop the rapid expansion of AI data centres in the UK — 10 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

This petition is calling on the UK Government to protect our communities and countrysides by stopping big tech firms from building AI data centres on our land.

Additional details

According to the BBC, there are almost 100 new data centres planned for construction in the next 5 years, with some expected to cover as much as 540,000 square metres. It is no secret that these data centres are contributing to the climate crisis, using massive amounts of water and emitting both air and noise pollution, so we are asking the UK Government to re-prioritise, listen to our communities and put a stop to the construction of these data centres.
