Levin's famous Father Christmas, in a Covid-19 appropriate mask. In the New World carpark on the corner of Bath St & Oxford St, Levin.
January 2022.
This Father Christmas was brought to Levin from Christchurch in the early 2000's by Malcolm and Mary Russell. His once beckoning finger is no longer operational. At 15m tall he is quite the festive landmark.

1) Meant to name Levin Taitoko,
Under the earliest conditions governing the sale of the Levin Block to the Government, the name of the settlement was to have been Taitoko. It was intended that a garden or park of 100 acres be one of the features of the new town.
2) Borough Councils down the years
A total of 89 citizens have served on the Levin Borough Council in the course of its 50 years. There has only been one woman on the council, Mrs. H.E. Bowen, who served 12 1/2 years from May 1935 to November, 1947, when she retired. There have been 10 mayors and five town clerks.
