Patrick Harvie: “Allowing the data centre industry to grab Scotland’s natural resources for their own benefit would be yet another…”

It is an affront to democracy to continue to deny Scotland’s right to decide our own future.

I ask you to urgently give a clear commitment that a full public consultation will take place as part of the development of the national guidance.

It is imperative that the Scottish Government gets this right, and doesn’t leave communities behind while bending to the whim of well-funded developers who are seeking to make a profit from Scotland’s resources.

We are one year on from Parliament’s historic vote, and the Scottish Government has failed to turn words into action.
