Efforts to bring a shower facility to Millport solely for campers and sailors have been delayed for up to a decade, locals fear.

Under the Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS) programme funds are provided 'in order to support cohesive heritage-focused community and economic growth projects within Conservation Areas across Scotland'.
