AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Reykjavík After-School Hours: Reykjavík City Council reversed a planned cut to after-school and youth centre opening times, keeping services until 17.00 from the new school year and charging only parents who use the final 30 minutes an extra ISK 1,000 per month. Swimming Complex Safety: Laugardalslaug will close parts of its spectator-stand area for at least six months after an assessment flagged urgent risk of falling concrete, with demolition of the canopy and seating planned. Border System Update: Icelandic police say the EU Entry/Exit System is working as expected locally, with Keflavík queues blamed on operational factors rather than technical failures. Travel App Launch: A new free iPhone app called Icebreaker aims to help visitors plan trips, find local recommendations, and avoid hazards, starting with Reykjavík before expanding nationwide. Weather Watch: Sunny, warm conditions are forecast for Reykjavík and much of southern and western Iceland this weekend, with temperatures around 17–18°C. Homelessness & Health Costs: A new report links homelessness to rising emergency healthcare use, estimating ISK 4.6 billion in emergency department costs from 2020–2024 and calling for better coordinated housing and support. Local Culture & Festivals: Goslok Festival peaks in Vestmannaeyjar today, marking the 1973 Heimaey eruption’s end with concerts and exhibitions.
