'It's just a nightmare': This small town is growing but these businesses are considering shutting up shop
A few shops down from Ms Moffat's bakery is the local doctors' surgery.
"It really is very, very significant what's happening ,,, we don't know how much longer that we will be able to stay open if our patients can't come.Dr Chamberlain said it is devastating to see the entire main street struggling with most shops facing closure due to lack of business in recent months.Beautician Julie Moyes also operates her clinic in the street and says she has seen a 30 per cent drop in customers since the roadworks started.
"It's always a bit of a challenge, people always want better roads, better infrastructure, but of course, there will always be a few short-term impacts," he said."Getting $44 million worth of new infrastructure into Gracemere is going to mean the commercial area, and the road out by the roundabout past the pub, is going to be so much better, particularly in those busy AM peak hours.
