Holly Kellerman, who works at Yummy Mummy Cheesecakes in Woodville, said local retailers had noticed a sharp decline in patrons since the hillside started slipping.
The town relies on people travelling between Hawke's Bay and Wellington for a lot of its business, and those people were being lost to Wairarapa, she said.
"Nobody's coming through Woodville — it sucks."Errrrrrrrrr......if you travel between Hawke's Bay and Wellington via Wairarapa, you still go through Woodville.
That is, unless you turn off SH2 at Waipukurau and follow Route 52 to Masterton, but as that takes up to a couple of hours longer, the average punter isn't going to use that route, but will still go via Woodville.
