Ground investigation works to begin for Peebles Community Campus

Published: 25th June 2021

A series of ground investigation works are to commence in preparation for the new Peebles Community Campus building

Beginning on Monday (28 June) the works will form the main phase of investigation for the Campus and will focus on understanding the ground conditions of the proposed development site before any future building works begin.

The investigation works will last no longer than six weeks and the trial pits and boreholes will be filled in again afterwards. The investigation works will not have any impact on neighbouring properties.

A report will be developed based on the findings of the work which will inform the structural designs for the overall Campus.

A community consultation on plans for a new Community Campus in Peebles is still available to view on our website.

The online consultation provides the opportunity for the wider community to provide their views on the outlined plans for the new Campus which will ultimately replace the fire-damaged High School.

A timeline of 24 months has been outlined for the initial construction of the new school building.
