There are some exciting changes within the Village.
We welcome to the Village Howick Trading Post, a unique small business offering a wide selection of brand-new items sourced directly from auctions of businesses going into receivership.
Their inventory includes everything from clothing, home goods, electronics, tools and kitchenware, all at unbeatable prices.
Every product is carefully inspected for quality, ensuring customers receive the best value for money.
Whether you’re looking to furnish your home, upgrade your wardrobe, or find a one-of-a-kind item, Howick Trading Post has something for everyone.
Visit them at 14 Moore Street and discover treasures others have left behind, all while saving big!
Subway Howick has a new franchisee, Supinder Jot Kaur, who is also the owner of Subway Highland Park.
Wendy Hannah is a renowned colour and light artist, known for her vibrant reflective sculptural forms.
Her design work is blurring the lines of fine art with collaborations with commercial designers globally.
Her new working art studio XCollective.Space will open at the end of the month, located in Central Terrace (in the previous Times Media location).
Also, we’re very excited about another new business coming to the Village.
Howick Village Vets is opening on March 3 with a brand-new clinic in the heart of Howick at 14 Moore Street.
The former Vanilla Plant Based Kitchen premises at 65 Picton Street have been leased and builders are on-site refurbishing it so watch this space.
We would like to acknowledge Reay Neben, who’s always been an advocate of our Association.
Reay founded the Howick and Pakuranga Times newspaper in 1972.
She was recently honoured in the New Year Honours List with the Kings Service Medal (KSM) for services to print media and the community.
We are all watching in horror at the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
Something that’s struck me is the grief for the loss, of not only homes, but communities as well. It makes me feel so grateful for the wonderful Village we have.
Our next big event is the Cultural Food Festival from 9am-2.30pm on Saturday, March 1.
Our market will be running, we have many international food trucks coming, an exciting range of dancers and entertainment, and Picton Street will be closed.
