There is growing frustration among business leaders in Northland with another long weekend set to be hampered by rotten weather and a lack of tourism.
Usually, people would flock to Northland over Waitangi Weekend, either for a short break or to join the festivities.
But Northland chamber of commerce president Tim Robinson says that won't be the case this long weekend due to the recent storm, and damage caused to the region's roads.
He says the government needs to act.
Robinson spoke to Corin Dann.
