The Drill Hall in Peebles is not just a building but the heart of our community. For generations, it has been a sanctuary and a hub for individuals and families providing vital services, activities, and unfaltering support for people of all ages and social backgrounds. As we approach its 125th anniversary, the Drill Hall stands as a testament to the rich history and communal spirit of Peebles.

In these challenging times, community support systems such as the Drill Hall are more crucial than ever. Beyond its historical value, the Hall plays an indispensable role in providing sense of belonging, cultural enrichment, and essential services like support groups, educational workshops, and recreational activities. 

We call on the Council's to reverse any plans to close the Drill Hall and instead work with local residents to support and invest in this vital community space.

Please sign this petition to show your support for maintaining this vital community resource.
