The ongoing saga regarding the Millport seafront illuminations still rumbles on after new lights were recently installed..
The lights were taken away due to age and disrepair in July, with the brand new lighting arriving just in time for the Festival of Light and illuminations weekend events, but immediately hit problems, with only a small 20 feet stretch of the seafront illuminations actually functioning.
After concerns we raised with the 'News', we asked North Ayrshire Council for an update.
A NAC spokesperson said: “The replacement of the Millport festoon lighting installation has been affected by issues relating to the integrity of the electrical supply.
“These issues are being addressed by members of our technical staff and work is scheduled to get under way this week to resolve the issues and restore the lighting to full working order as soon as possible.”
