Residents in Monterey Park, California have voted overwhelmingly to permanently ban data centres in their city, making it the first community in the US to do so through a public vote.

The result was a landslide, with 86% of voters backing the ban.

Concerns about air quality, drinking water, rising utility costs, and the sheer size of facilities being built next to homes were behind the vote.

A Gallup poll out this year found that around 70% of Americans share that view.

Other communities in Wisconsin and Michigan are already preparing ballot measures of their own, and Monterey Park's organisers hope their win becomes a blueprint, showing that residents can have a real say in how their cities are built and what gets built next to their homes.
