Tweed Valley Community Collective

Tweed Valley Community Collectives main objective is to acquire a plot of land next to Victoria Park in Peebles to develop a multi-purpose community facility that meets local needs and enhances social, economic, and environmental well-being.

We are currently in negotiations with the landowners to secure the site, which is in a residential area near a children’s playground, skatepark, and two schools – a primary and a secondary.

This side of the river currently has no essential services, and we are actively investigating what facilities the community needs most. We are considering options such as public toilets, a café, a grocery shop, a community hall, a kitchen, office spaces for charities and local businesses, and an intergenerational space.

The final decision on what will be included will be made in consultation with the community, with a public vote helping to shape the development. Our goal is to create an inclusive, sustainable hub that supports local organisations and provides long-term benefits for residents.
