Safety Hägersten-Älvsjö Upcoming Hägersten-Älvsjö stadsdelsnämnd · Meeting 2026-08-27 · Summarized 2026-08-14
This Moderate Party motion proposes that the City of Stockholm strengthen social services' work against gang crime and the recruitment of young people. The proposal suggests expanding the city-wide reinforcement team, which supports district administrations with complex cases, to include a specialist team of social workers with expertise in gang-related crime. While the Hägersten-Älvsjö district administration agrees on the need for stronger efforts, they emphasize that the specialist team must work long-term and be locally rooted to build relationships and understand local conditions.
Urban Planning Norrmalm Upcoming Kommunstyrelsen · Meeting 2026-09-02 · Summarized 2026-08-22
The City Council is proposed to approve an agreement with Region Stockholm for the City of Stockholm to solely manage the development of eastern Hagastaden. This means Region Stockholm's land in the area will be transferred to the city to facilitate the completion of the new district, planned for over 6,000 homes and 50,000 workplaces. Stockholm will pay Region Stockholm 62.8 million SEK, but the sale of building rights and compensation for Hagabron are expected to cover the city's expenses.
Schools & Education Skarpnäck Upcoming Utbildningsnämnden · Meeting 2026-08-27 · Summarized 2026-08-20
The Department of Education proposes extensive maintenance and operational adjustments for Tallkrogen School, estimated at around 60 million SEK, including improved ventilation, accessibility upgrades like a new elevator, and kitchen adaptations to meet regulatory requirements. During the two-academic-year renovation starting in autumn 2027, the school's 460 students will be bussed 4.5 km to Kvickenstorpsskolan in Farsta, and one building, House J, will be demolished due to poor condition and reduced student need, lowering the school's capacity to 476 students.
