A meeting of the flood defence focus group was held on Wednesday 9th February 2022. North Ayrshire Council informed us that construction of the flood defences is now expected to begin in the autumn of 2022 and is likely to last 18 months. This means there will be minimal disruption to Millport or to the moorings this summer. When construction does begin, work to the promenade will take place in stages so that disruption is minimised as much as possible.
A programme of works will be provided and a newsletter issued to the community before the works begin and the contractor will give a presentation and allow local people to ask questions about how the project will be undertaken and how it will impact on the community.
A communication plan will be developed to let mariners know about changes to the navigation channel and restrictions on access to the harbour during the works.
