There's more criticism of central city roadworks in Wellington.

Retail NZ, Hospitality NZ and the Bus and Coach Association are asking the council to review its Golden Mile pedestrianizing project.

A number of businesses say roadworks and cycleway projects have forced them to close.

Retail NZ Chief Executive Carolyn Young says it's 'disappointing' that mayor Tory Whanau says the Golden Mile is a bottom line.

"We know that the issues around Thorndon Quay are significant, that businesses have really struggled and are closing."
