A storm at the start of January did serious damage to the Thames' Coast Road and business during the busiest month of the year on the Coromandel Peninsula declined as a consequence.
The road is back open now, but locals are anxious the road won't hold up in another storm.
The Thames-Coromandel mayor, Sandra Goudie, has been calling businesses this morning to see how they're going.
She talks to Jesse about the risks to relying on a lifeline road.
