The surfacing on two open playgrounds was recently replaced with artificial grass and rubber tiles to increase the safety, usability and lifespan of the play areas. These open spaces are at Laufvang and between \u00derastar\u00e1 and Kr\u00edu\u00e1. The plan is to continue this maintenance and development work, installing durable surfacing in as many places as possible, though not all of them this summer.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A great deal of maintenance work is also taking place on nursery and primary school grounds, and the plan is to complete this work before the start of the school term in August. The work on the grounds at Hvaleyrarsk\u00f3li is well advanced, and the grounds at \u00d6ldut\u00fanssk\u00f3li are currently being worked on. Alterations at the Sm\u00e1ralund nursery are well advanced, and it is planned to begin minor and major alterations to the grounds at Hvamm, Vesturkot and Hl\u00ed\u00f0arberg, including the replacement of swings and spring-mounted play equipment. The renewal of fencing at V\u00ed\u00f0ivelli is well advanced, and a similar renewal at Hl\u00ed\u00f0arberg is likely to begin this week. The Scout groups, who have been staying at V\u00ed\u00f0ista\u00f0at\u00fan, have been a great help to the council over the past week, and have worked on, amongst other things, creating paths at Hvaleyrarvatn and in the surrounding area, and planting hedgerow plants along the woodland edges near V\u00ed\u00f0ista\u00f0ask\u00f3li, clearing weeds from the gravel at Strandst\u00edgur by Herj\u00f3lfsgata, various maintenance tasks in Hellisger\u00f0i, laying a path between M\u00e1vahraun and Sv\u00f6luhraun, as well as smaller projects all over town. It's absolutely brilliant to have such extra manpower!&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mikil vinna hefur fari\u00f0 \u00ed \u00fea\u00f0 \u00ed sumar a\u00f0 halda b\u00e6num okkar hreinum, \u00ed sl\u00e1ttur og hreinsun be\u00f0a og vi\u00f0hald \u00e1 opnum leiksv\u00e6\u00f0um og v\u00f6llum.
