Vicky says: “[The] location next to the leisure centre gives an opportunity to host a data centre reducing the carbon footprint of the swimming pool. In the future we want to Host a Deep Green Data Centre: Empower Your Community with Free Heat – we also want to install EV charging points and better bike locker facilities.” IP
