A Whanganui business owner is annoyed that he was not consulted about roadworks taking place outside his front door in Heads Rd.
Work has begun on Whanganui District Council's swale (water drainage system) project designed to prevent flooding in the area that intersects Gilberd St.
Peter Robinson, who owns The Woodshack in Heads Rd, said he sees the need for some form of run-off, as the flooding was bad there last year.
His objection is that work being carried out by contractor Loaders is very disruptive to his business and others on that stretch of Heads Rd.
"It's dangerous too. Some of the big trucks are taking a detour around Gilberd St, but others are having to try and pass each other in the narrowed lanes."
