Evidence suggests many Peebles residents know little or nothing about Common Good. A poll conducted around the town by members of the Peebles Common Good Forum revealed that, although most people had heard of the Peebles Common Good Fund, only a handful could name any of the Fund’s assets. Despite several newspaper reports, magazine articles and even a BBC Scotland television documentary over recent years relating to the Fund, there seems to be only partial and thinly spread knowledge about this important local asset. This exhibition seeks to raise awareness, inform, encourage greater engagement with the work of the Fund and to celebrate the rich inheritance we all continue to enjoy in our town.
