The proposed construction of an AI data centre in Ebbsfleet, Kent threatens to disrupts the environment, create noise pollution, droughts and permanently affect our community for the worse.

The proposed site is not just any plot of land. It is in a strategic locality that sees a significant amount of travelers commuting towards London, a route already under stress. Our local infrastructure, particularly the power grid, is stretched thin, and the introduction of a massive, power-hungry facility will only exacerbate this situation, leading to potential power shortages and further disruptions.

But it’s not just about the power supply. The noise pollution from construction and the ongoing operation of such a facility could significantly diminish the quality of life for local residents. Moreover, the environmental impact cannot be overstated. The development also threatens the local woodland.

 Additionally, our community will face water shortages with this new infrastructure posing a direct threat to our water resources.

While the advancement in technology is crucial in the eyes of the government, it's imperative that such developments are made considering their broader environmental and social impacts. 

Let's come together to protect our home, our environment, and our future. Sign this petition to urge local authorities and developers to reconsider the location of the AI data centre and to put your community at the forefront.

Your support is vital in taking a stand for Ebbsfleet and ensuring that progress does not come at the expense of our environment and quality of life.
