AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Reykjavík After-School Care: Reykjavík City Council reversed a planned cut to after-school and youth centre hours, keeping services open until 17:00 from the new school year and charging only parents who use the extra 30 minutes an additional ISK 1,000 per month. Swimming Complex Safety: Laugardalslaug’s hot tubs and areas near a spectator stand are closed for at least six months after a risk assessment flagged urgent danger from falling concrete, with demolition of parts of the stand planned. Border System Update: Icelandic police say the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) is working without the technical failures reported elsewhere; queues at Keflavík are blamed on operational factors, not system faults. Local Festival Incident: A teacup carousel collapsed during Stokkseyri’s Bryggjuhátíð harbour festival, injuring two children; police are investigating and the ride will stay out of service for the rest of the event. Travel App Launch: A new free iPhone travel app, Icebreaker, is aimed at helping visitors plan trips, find local recommendations, and avoid hazards, starting with Reykjavík before expanding nationwide. Weather Watch: Sunny, warmer conditions are forecast for Reykjavík and much of Iceland this weekend, with southern and western areas expected to be best.
