Tricky Hartley: The Conservatory Owner on the reopening of the footbridge between the Viaduct and Wynyard Quarter

A sigh of relief for businesses at Auckland's Wynyard Quarter.  

The footbridge between the Viaduct Harbour and Quarter has reopened to pedestrians this morning.  

It had been closed for repairs since March. 

The Conservatory owner Tricky Hartley told Heather du Plessis-Allan it's been an extremely tough nine months. 

He says business has been down 60% since the bridge closed, making the tough winter period even tougher.
