Leads for People and Families

• No family will pay more than 50,000 ISK per month for preschool and after-school care (attendance and meal fees)—and lower-income families will pay less.
• Restore balance between the burden on families and staff in the school system. Find a workable solution for how special registration days are implemented, in cooperation with staff and families.
• Improve acoustics in municipal buildings.
• Increase leisure/activity grants in stages to 50,000 ISK by the end of the term.
• Strengthen cooperation with the Senior Council, the Disability Users’ Council, and the Youth Council. Give them a stronger voice and greater influence.
• Use the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as a guiding principle in municipal decision-making.
• Welcome everyone who chooses to make Norðurþing their home.

• Strengthen Kópasker and Raufarhöfn as desirable destinations—prioritizing development of campsites and playgrounds.
• Strengthen the work of neighborhood councils, for example through direct allocation of implementation funds. Give them a stronger voice and greater influence.
• Create child-friendly, enjoyable walking routes between schools and leisure areas. Key walking routes for children should be lively and safe. Finalize the traffic safety plan.
• Find ways to strengthen year-round tourism across the municipality in cooperation with stakeholders. Make Norðurþing an exciting destination all year round.
• Define a future role for Hvamm, which will change with the opening of the new nursing home.
• Support residents through community activities and thereby prevent isolation and loneliness.
• Support a strong cultural life with events and grants for theater groups.
• Strengthen sports and leisure activities in the community—for everyone.

• Promote development at Bakki that strengthens the municipality’s finances and community life.
• Welcome new employment opportunities and support existing businesses.
• Air ambulance services via Húsavík Airport must be secured, and opportunities to restart scheduled flights must be explored.
• People first. Basic services guided by residents’ needs and rights.
• Use the term to plan in cooperation with residents. Stop putting band-aids on the wounds. Be ready with where we want to go and what we will do in the future.
• Stand guard over the issues that make a community a good community. Often it is the small things that matter most.

• Prioritize the construction of playgrounds, with the school grounds of Borgarhólsskóli, Grænuvellir, Öxarfjarðarskóli, and Raufarhafnarskóli first in line. Clearly, these issues have not been a priority so far.
• Prioritize capital funding for the benefit of families.
• Improve and develop walking paths and outdoor recreation routes across the municipality.
• Create maintenance plans for municipal properties. Sports facilities as a priority. These facilities are expensive to build, yet they are also among the municipality’s most-used buildings. Making the wrong decisions in these matters is costly.
• Begin construction of the swimming pool in Lund. A priority project for families and for the area’s future opportunities.
• Facilities for health-related services. Engage with health-service providers about developing premises. Norðurþing will build facilities with the aim of entering a long-term lease with those interested in the project. Rental income will cover the costs. In this way, we secure premises for the service into the future.
