Dear residents of Bakkafjörður. Wednesday, March 13th I will be present at the municipality office at Skólagata 5 from 11:00 – 15:00. I intend to be at the Bakkafjörður office every two weeks on Wednesdays through the winter (see plan below). After that, the status will be reassessed based on the tasks at hand, including those in Bakkafjörður. If I am unable to be at the office on an intended day, due to other commitments such as meeting and travel, then a notice to that effect will be posted on the municipality’s website. It is my hope that the residents of Bakkafjörður and vicinity will come to the office, whether for business or a chat about what is on their minds. Sincerely, Elías Pétursson, District Manager, elias@langanesbyggd.is
