Photo: Christine O'ConnorOne Great King St business owner says he is losing at least $1000 a week during the construction of Dunedin’s new bus hub and any delay will cost him more money. Affected businesses were told of the issue this week and the Dunedin City Council says the work could delay the project by a "matter of weeks". Smiths Sport Shoes co-owner Greg Lapwood said his business had lost more than $10,000 since work on the $4.4 million hub started in July. Both councils said they would work closely to get the hub operating as quickly as possible.
