Public invited to discuss pohutukawa trees' fate: Howick
Members of the community are invited to a public meeting at 7pm on Monday to discuss the fate of a stand of pohutukawa trees in Howick.
The grove of trees, which includes rare yellow pohutukawa, will lose protection when the old council building it borders in Moore St is sold to make way for development.
Pakuranga MP Simeon Brown will chair the meeting held by the Howick Ratepayers and Residents Association at Farm Cove Intermediate's school hall.
What do you think should happen to the iconic New Zealand Christmas trees which grace 34 Moore St?
Should they be saved from the axe?
Should keeping the pohutukawa be a condition of the sale?
