Coromandel publican sells up after on-going Thames Coast Rd closures

Tapu publican Bruce Efford has sold his business after on-going Thames Coast Rd closures cost him about $80,000 in earnings.

The major Coromandel road has been regularly closed by more than 100 slips since March.

However, Efford said it was lack of communication between New Zealand Transport Agency, the contractors working on State Highway 25 and the public that had cost him his business. 

“The weather and the slips you can expect, but it’s when they tell you the road’s closed and it’s not. What’s happening is that people are too scared to come down,” he said.
