Butter fingered glaziers are to blame for the delay in completing the erection of the bus shelter in Devizes Market Place.
The original shelter, erected by the town council at a cost of £8,000, blew down during gales a year ago. When the council approached its insurers they found it was only insured for impact damage and they had to find the replacement cost from their own budgets.
Finally last week the shelter was erected but the contractors have left it incomplete and still open to the elements.
Deputy town clerk Simon Fisher explained that the contractors dropped one pane of glass while installing it and a new one has to be made, which will take at least a week.
Mr Fisher said: "We have been in robust conversation with the company."
