Fife villagers made plain their opposition to a planned £5 billion data centre on their doorstep as developers arrived to speak to them on Tuesday. Colin and Isobel Telfer live on a farm right on the proposed data centre’s boundary. He believes all applications for data centres should be paused until the Scottish Government sets a policy. “But we would wel­come national guid­ance that helps ensure a con­sist­ent approach to con­sid­er­ing data centre devel­op­ments across Scot­land.” More than 6,000 people have already signed a petition calling for a moratorium on data centres.
