What will the village look like in 30 years?
Feedback must be in by March 5th at 12.00 pm
We recently spoke to the Board regarding the Stockade Hill Views and the importance of preserving our historic character by getting an official statutory Special Character Statement prepared for the village.
Please give feedback on the Howick Village Plan NOW, and insist the views from Stockade Hill MUST be given priority in any plan.There is nothing about the views enunciated in the plan as it stands!!!
We have also been strenuously opposing the possible demolition of another of Howick's historic buildings-the War Memorial Information Centre-see the Howick Village Plan.

The money was raised by former Ratepayers. Historian Alan LaRoche speaks of personally selling innumerable raffle tickets etc to fund it . It would be a slap in the face of those who worked so hard to get the war memorial built. We say you mustn't get rid of our War memorials and our history , they are part of our character village.
