As a resident of Larbert, I am deeply concerned about the proposed AI datacentre development in our community. This project threatens to disrupt the lives of many, including the elderly residents in the nearby care home, patients and staff at the Forth Valley Royal Hospital (an 860-bed A&E hospital), young children at the local nursery, and thousands of immediate neighbours.

The construction and operation of such a large-scale datacentre will significantly increase traffic, noise, and pollution in our community. This is not just an inconvenience; it is a potential hazard to the health and safety of vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children. Increased traffic congestion around the Forth Valley Royal Hospital could impede emergency response times, putting lives at risk.

Moreover, the datacentre will consume vast amounts of energy, potentially affecting our community's resources and contributing to environmental degradation. The development does not align with our region's commitment to sustainable growth and green initiatives. It is imperative that we explore more eco-friendly alternatives that do not compromise the wellbeing of our residents or our local environment.

The voices of Larbert's residents must be heard. We cannot allow this project to proceed without comprehensive impact assessments and transparent community consultations. Our community deserves to have a say in projects that affect our livelihoods, health, and environment.

I urge you to sign this petition to halt the AI datacentre development in Larbert and demand a thorough review of its impacts on our community. Together, we can protect Larbert and ensure it remains a safe and thriving place for all who live here.
