More than 100 people turned up in person with more on line to see how they could help save Greenpark Community Centre
Good old-fashioned leafleting came to the rescue as more than 100 people attended a meeting to save a popular community centre.
Mr Nicol said: "We had a couple of meetings and there wasn't a great attendance. Then we decided to really get it done seriously, so we leafleted most of the village and put posters and banners up. "Once this comes to fruition - and hopefully it will now - we need to look at ways to find money to improve the centre and provide what the people of Polmont really want.
"Various people have great ideas to take it forward but we've got to walk before we run and comply with all the legal side of things," he said.The meeting was also attended by Falkirk Council's Head of Invest, Paul Kettrick, and development officer Arthur Berg, who Mr Nicol says have been very helpful in taking the proposal forward. Mr Nicol also thanked the three local councillors, Gordon Forrest , Anne Hannah and James Kerr , for all their support.
