Microsoft is proposing to build a datacentre in Langley, Slough.

Why datacentres are needed 

Datacentres provide the physical infrastructure for the technology we depend on at work and in our personal lives. Whenever you open an app on your phone, join a virtual classroom or meeting, snap and save photos, or play a game with your friends online, you are using a datacentre. Local businesses, government, hospitals, and schools rely on datacentres every day to deliver goods and services to you.

Community information session 14 & 15 July, 2026

We invite you to a drop-in information session to provide input on the proposed datacentre in Langley on Tuesday, 14 July, and Wednesday, 15 July, from 14:00 to 19:00 PM at the Langley College, Langley Campus, Station Rd, Langley, Slough SL3 8BY.

During this information session, you will have the opportunity to learn more about datacentres and our commitments to the community, view conceptual plans of the project, and ask questions.  

If you have any questions before the sessions, please do contact us at UKDC@microsoft.com
