“There is a clear sense of optimism in all our towns and villages,” says Skopun mayor Gerhard Lognberg.

“We have seen an increase in young families in Sandoy, and we are clearly seeing an increase in activity.”

This activity includes substantial development of building land, with preparations underway for 33 new houses in Sandur and 26 in Skopun.
