The council had been asked by a trade union to stop the sale of council land to the club until John Easton was paid.

A trade union has called on Falkirk Council to help pressure a local golf club owner refusing to pay compensation to a greenkeeper who was sacked 'without reason or notice'.

In a desperate bid to find a solution, the union has written to Falkirk Council, asking for its help. She wrote: "This refusal to meet his legal obligations is now risking the future of the golf club as we consider further legal action, potentially forcing closure of what is a popular course and social hub for the people of Maddiston and surrounding area.

In a letter to the GMB, she said: "The tribunal ruling was quite clear and, in particular, the failure of Mr Matthews to respect and keep to employment law."This can only be viewed as disrespectful to all parties involved in this matter. Mr Matthews, a property developer who has several business interests, bought the club in 2019 when it was known as Polmont Golf Club.
