The Otago Regional Council says the opening of Dunedin's bus hub has been delayed again, so nearby retailers can enjoy a longer Christmas shopping period.
Businesses in the street have mixed opinions on the break in work, but are united in their frustration at the council.
Construction is scheduled to finish at the end of February, and the hub in Great King Street will be operational in early March instead of January.
The original planned opening date was last May.
Businesses on the street have been hit hard by the construction.
Smiths Sports Shoes co-owner Greg Lapwood says he's frustrated by the council's delays.
Look Sharp Store manager Minimol Sudheesh says she doesn't trust the council, while Refined Rig owner Sun Dean says businesses aren't very happy with delays.
She says the council had already decided what they were doing, and says she's experienced a thirty percent drop in business.
