Hawke\'s Bay businesses are concerned that the Government\'s 50-million-dollar cyclone recovery fund\'s starting to run dry.

The local Chamber of Commerce has received 1600 applications, but only 500 have been approved so far.

Esk Valley\'s D\'vine Restaurant is still closed.

Owner Greg Miller told Mike Hosking that he hasn\'t heard back after applying for support through the fund.
