Community Van
Dear fellow community organisations and stakeholders,
I am writing to you with regards to the community van, currently being operated by Howick Historical Village (HHV).
Originally, the vehicle was transferred to HHV by the Howick Local Board
with the intention to aid local community groups with their transport requirements.
After a recent discussion with HHV, I’m pleased to advise you that in the near future Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS), will take-over the ownership and running of the vehicle.
Further to this, MECOSS will continue to make the van available to local community groups and organisations for their usage.
If you’d like to schedule a van reservation or make a change to a current booking, please contact lindsay.upton@mecoss.org.nz
If there are any other matters you would like to discuss, please feel free to contact me or Lindsay Upton.
David Collings
Chairperson
Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
