The future of a Napier statue is up in the air, with Napier City Council confirming the sculpture is going to be removed, at least temporarily.
The statue, still called the Flowerpot, sits on Emerson St, and changes with the seasons, for example poppies for Anzac Day and daffodils in spring. It has even supported the Magpies in past iterations.
A Napier City Council spokesperson confirmed the statue is going to be removed, at least temporarily.
"The Flowerpot will be dismantled and stored at the depot in order for some new super-sized Christmas decorations to be installed in the space, towards the end of November, in time for the Christmas Parade on December 1."
