The Municipality of Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo opened applications for municipal support intended for the promotion of livestock production in the municipality. The period for submitting applications runs until the end of December.

These funds are intended to support local livestock producers and aim to stimulate livestock activity in the region for the year 2026. The municipality thus intends to contribute to the development of the primary sector in the county.

Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo is a Portuguese municipality located in the Guarda district, in the Beira Interior region, an area traditionally dedicated to agriculture and livestock farming. Interested parties must formalize their applications with the municipal services within the established deadline.

These drivers can be 'blocked' at the entrance to one of the country's busiest roads starting from this date

From September 15th, certain heavy goods vehicles are prohibited from circulating on the Inner Ring Road (VCI) in Porto, on weekdays between 7am and 9pm. The restriction applies to vehicles with gross weight exceeding 3,500 kg, three or more axles, and height equal to or greater than 1.1 meters, generally covering toll classes 3 and 4. The objective is to divert through heavy traffic to the Porto Outer Regional Circular (CREP), where the same vehicles benefit from toll exemptions. Vehicles with loading or unloading operations in Porto or Vila Nova de Gaia can circulate upon prior authorization obtained through a digital platform. Circulating without authorization constitutes a minor offense punished with a fine between 150 and 750 euros.
