The ward includes the town's Church of St Peblig.[1] The new environmentally friendly primary school, Ysgol y Hendre, is at the centre of the ward.

Town ward
Peblig is a ward to Caernarfon Town Council electing five of the seventeen town councillors.[3]
In February 2019 Peblig town councillor, Kenny Richards known as Kenny Khan, claimed he was facing "discrimination" by being denied a seat on the Ysgol y Hendre Board of Governors.[4] Despite a previous spell in gaol he was described as a "community champion" who ran affordable food outlets locally and in 2017 had been voted unanimously by the town council to be their representative on the Board.[4]
