There are around 450 large data centres across the UK. These warehouses contain computing infrastructure that power cloud services and, increasingly, AI.
There is much debate about how datacentres affect their local areas, with concerns raised by nearby residents about land use, pollution, noise, and the “heat island effect”.
As part of our coverage, we would like to hear from people living near AI datacentres about their experiences. Do you have any concerns?
