Masts will not be built after alleged threats
Controversial plans to build two mobile phone masts at Willingdon Golf Club have been scrapped after threats were allegedly made to a member of the club's board.
Vodafone and T-Mobile had both been given permission to put up 15-metre high masts on the course despite objections from hundreds of local residents.
It is believed the club would have received around £12,000 from the deal.
But it has now abandoned the plans, which have taken more than a year to come to fruition, after what it called 'serious and direct threats to individuals and property'.
However, residents are claiming victory saying the club had come to the right decision in the face of public pressure and the threat of anti-mast members leaving the club.
