Alex Rivera2026-07-19T23:43:39.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, we need the jobs. but the water thing is a worry aye

Drew Parker2026-07-19T23:35:39.000Z

ffs we're in a drought half the time and they want to pump millions of litres? who approved this?

River Cole2026-07-19T23:59:39.000Z

the council more interested in developers' pockets than the river. same old same old

bit rich coming from an 'engineer' concerned now, where were they when the consents were being handed out?

lol 'artist's impression' – probably looks better than the real thing. probably hiding the cooling towers

data centres use so much water it's crazy. why aren't they forced to use recycled water or something?

lunch time reading: another reason to hate big tech. they don't care about local communities

Cameron Diaz2026-07-20T01:06:39.000Z

facts. they'll suck it dry and leave us with nothing
