Stop the East Havering Data Centre from going ahead
Prevent the construction of the proposed data centre in North Ockendon, which is set to be the largest data centre in Europe.
The site is set to be constructed on land that is protected by The Green Belt. If construction were to go ahead, it would turn an area full of green space into a battery powered wasteland.
The impact this would have on households in Ockendon and Upminster would mean a draining water and power supply to homes, as well as restricted space for nature conservation.
The RA led council needs to be held accountable for this controversial site, as money is the motive over the local environment.
