The fantastic teams from the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Work Club have also had the important task of cleaning up, beautifying and keeping the town clean. Nine groups are active in creative summer jobs during the summer of 2021, a strong and large arts group, and micro-grants for the enthusiastic have also spurred a great deal of activity, performances, open-air concerts, indoor concerts and all kinds of artistic creation within the town's boundaries, to name but a few.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Pavement renewal in older neighbourhoods and maintenance of school playgrounds&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<p>Examples of projects and maintenance that were specifically decided to be undertaken include the renewal of pavements in the town's older neighbourhoods, the finishing of roads and paths in Skar\u00f0shl\u00ed\u00f0 and Hellnahrauni, the renewal and maintenance of school playgrounds, and the renewal of paths and electrical systems in Hellisger\u00f0i. A total of approximately 340 million kr\u00f3na in additional maintenance and infrastructure projects for the town. Many projects are already underway, such as the maintenance of school grounds, where work is being carried out according to a priority list. This week, the tender period for repairs to concrete pavements in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur came to an end, so tired pavements in the town's older neighbourhoods will soon be given a new lease of life, with the associated impacts on pedestrian traffic, cycling and possibly, in some cases, vehicular traffic.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frettabladid.is\/kynningar\/hjarta-hafnarfjarar-skin-skrt-a-bjortum-dogum-i-allt-sumar\/\">The heart of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur shines brightly during the Bright Days.&nbsp;<\/a>\u2013 coverage of life and fun in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur in Fr\u00e9ttabla\u00f0i\u00f0 on Friday, 2 July 2021.
