The Järva City District Administration's Pensioner Council met to discuss home care services, focusing on plans to certify all home care staff in dementia care (Silviahemscertifiering) by 2026, alongside initiatives for oral health and continued language training for staff. They were also informed about the upcoming procurement of meal deliveries as the current Sodexo contract expires, and plan a politician's hearing before the 2026 election to highlight conditions for seniors.
The Järva City District Committee approved a list of decisions made by officials under delegated authority at the end of 2025. These decisions include procurements for digital platforms and system support for summer camps, responses to consultations on excavation work, the placement of food trucks and a new toilet building, and a report of a serious care injury. This is a routine administrative measure where the committee is informed of decisions that have already been made.
A citizen proposal to build a pedestrian and bicycle path between Kista and Rinkeby has led the Järva District Council to commission a further investigation. This study will consider the needs of children, people with disabilities, and gender equality.
Stockholm Vatten och Avfall (SVOA) has investigated the division of responsibility for stormwater and cloudburst facilities in the city. The Järva District Administration supports clarifying these responsibilities but requests a simpler plan and expresses concern over potentially increased and unpredictable operating and maintenance costs for the districts.
Council members Jan Jönsson (L) and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate a model like Uppsala's UppSam to better support children in out-of-home care with their schooling, offering coordinated support across four phases, including children from other municipalities. However, the district administration believes Stockholm already has effective methods such as Skolfam, school social workers, and SAMS, which yield similar positive results, and plans to continue with these established practices instead of introducing a new model.
The Centre Party proposed a strategy for "privately owned public spaces" (POPS), where private entities would own and manage public areas like squares and green spaces in exchange for benefits such as increased building rights. However, the Järva District Administration is hesitant, believing the city should own and manage public spaces to ensure quality and clear accountability, and that current public space strategies are sufficient.
Two Sweden Democrats politicians in Järva raised questions about the Active Leisure Järva project, which helps children and young people in Husby, Rinkeby, and Tensta find recreational activities. The project has exceeded its goal of assisting 300 children by guiding 552 into activities, and a follow-up shows that 76.5% continued their activities for at least three months.
Two politicians from the Centre Party inquired with the Järva District Administration about the follow-up of employment conditions in public procurements. The administration responded that they had an employment clause in a Western Stockholm cleaning service procurement for 2024-2025, awarded to Samhall AB. This agreement is expected to create approximately 130 full-time, permanent positions for individuals with disabilities.
The Järva District Council is to respond to theva (Health and Social Care Inspectorate) following the latter's discovery of deficiencies in how the administration places children and young people, including in foster homes. IVO criticized, among other things, the inconsistent vetting of foster homes, slow handling of welfare reports, and children not being informed of their rights. The administration partially agrees and plans measures such as improving routines, increasing controls, and training staff to enhance the quality and safety for children.
An audit report from the City of Stockholm examined safety work at youth recreation centers in the Järva district and found it to be largely good but in need of improvement. Key criticisms include insufficient documentation of background checks during recruitment, a lack of practice drills for serious incidents, and shortcomings in the follow-up of welfare concerns and externally run centers. The Järva District Administration has action plans for 2026, including new routines for register checks, annual safety drills, and improved follow-up for welfare concerns and external centers.
The Järva City District Administration largely supports a new zoning plan for Akalla's Vanda 3 area, which aims to enable the construction of new industries and workplaces, creating an estimated 200 to 600 jobs. However, the administration requests an investigation into the effects of constant shading on a birch alley along Esbogatan and that additional consideration be given to trees worthy of protection in the area.
This detailed development plan concerns the rebuilding of the Hjulsta interchange in Akalla and Tensta to improve traffic flow between Förbifart Stockholm, E4, and E18, aiming for a more efficient road network, reduced queues, and increased traffic safety. Additionally, a new pedestrian and bicycle path will be constructed between Stockholm and Järfälla for residents' convenience. The district administration requests ongoing information for residents and their involvement in planning to protect natural and cultural environments.
The Järva City District Council has approved a detailed development plan for Tensta 4:11, aiming to construct approximately 170 new rental apartments, including a six-unit LSS housing facility, on a former parking lot at Krällingegränd and Spånga kyrkväg. While the administration supports the new housing for its potential to enhance safety and appearance, it questions the inclusion of crosswalks over Hjulstavägen as they lead to the highway with no specific destination.
Residents have proposed renovating the Grottan youth center in Spånga, including a kitchen and improved accessibility. The Järva District Council agrees the premises need attention and has investigated deficiencies with SISAB. Grottan will be included in a broader plan to make all youth centers more accessible, to be part of the 2026 activity plan.
The Järva District Council has decided on the distribution of association grants for 2026. Out of 63 applicants, 43 associations meeting the council's requirements will receive a total of SEK 2,802,600, either fully or partially, for their activities. This aims to strengthen local associations and offer residents, especially children and youth, meaningful activities that promote equal opportunities and a safer district.
The Hässelby-Vällingby Pensioners' Council met to discuss the new Social Services Act and how to develop digital support for seniors. They also called for improved accessibility to social assistance administrators and highlighted issues with snow removal in the district, beyond what the district itself manages.
This matter informs the Hässelby-Vällingby District Council about decisions made by the administration between December 1 and 22, 2025. These include building permit referrals for tree felling in Vinsta 6:1 and a new toilet for Grötfatet, the termination of an unused placement, and a Lex Sarah investigation concerning children and young people.
The Sweden Democrats asked the Hässelby-Vällingby district council how they prevent staff who have mismanaged or committed crimes in schools, preschools, and care services from being bought out and then rehired. The administration responded that crimes are always reported to the police, background checks are performed for new hires to avoid rehiring unsuitable personnel, and managers receive ongoing training and support in handling difficult personnel matters.
The City Audit Committee reviewed safety at youth centers in Hässelby-Vällingby, Järva, and Södermalm, finding the work to be generally good but needing some improvements. For Hässelby-Vällingby, this means better documenting background checks during hiring and practicing routines for responding to threats and violence. The administration welcomed the review and committed to working on the improvements.
The Liberals propose a "District Boost" to combat crime and insecurity in all vulnerable areas of Stockholm, not just Järva, by creating an action plan with concrete goals for housing, social services, schools, and public environments. The Hässelby-Vällingby district administration responds that they already collaborate closely with the police on safety initiatives, and one previously vulnerable area in their district has seen significant improvement.
Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) proposed that Stockholm investigate a model similar to Uppsala's "UppSam" to better support children in social care with their schooling. The Hässelby-Vällingby district council agrees that children in social care often have deficient schooling. However, the council believes that the city's existing "Skolfam" model already fulfills the motion's intentions, as it also aims to strengthen school results for children in foster care through collaboration between social services and schools.
The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council has approved a proposal from the Executive Board for a revised food strategy for Stockholm. The administration supports the city serving good, healthy, and climate-smart food in schools and eldercare, and believes procurement should prioritize organic or locally produced goods. They also advocate for efforts to enhance food preparedness and urban farming in the area.
A citizen proposal was submitted to the Hässelby-Vällingby District Council to give young people more influence over political decisions, for example by creating a youth council. The administration is positive to the proposal and will investigate how youth participation can be strengthened. The part of the proposal concerning young people's mental health in schools will be forwarded to the Education Administration for further handling.
A citizen proposed installing "pant tubes" on litter bins in Hässelby-Vällingby to reduce littering caused by people searching for recyclables. The Hässelby-Vällingby District Administration responded that they have already installed 50 such tubes in the area over the past year and will continue to add more. Therefore, the administration considers the proposal already fulfilled.
A citizen proposed creating a large, nature-rich dog park in Hässelby-Vällingby, similar to those in Järfälla, due to dissatisfaction with existing facilities. The district administration acknowledged the proposal and stated they conducted a review of dog parks in 2025, promising to consider the desire for a larger, natural dog park as they work to improve and expand dog park access in the district.
A citizen has proposed that the speed limit on Blomsterkungsvägen in Hässelby-Vällingby should not be changed so frequently, as they find the constant alterations confusing and believe 60 km/h is too fast on certain stretches. The City District Administration cannot decide on speed limits, and is therefore forwarding the matter to the Traffic Administration Office for their consideration of the proposal.
A citizen proposed installing a solar-powered pump between Lake Mälaren and Råcksta Träsk to assist fish migration. The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board decided to forward the proposal to the Environmental Administration for further investigation. This is because measures beneficial to fish could harm amphibians, which are an endangered species, and this requires careful examination.
The Hässelby-Vällingby district council has reviewed and approved a follow-up of Koppargården care home, which generally shows good quality and safety with experienced staff. However, the home needs to improve in areas such as scheduling care based on resident wishes, enhancing meal environments and outdoor activities, ensuring adequate staff training, and effectively managing security alarms.
The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council has decided to build a new playground building at Ådalen playground, replacing the current deteriorating structure with modern, accessible facilities for children and families. Construction is set to begin in Q3 2026 and complete in Q3 2027, with the work phased to avoid closing both local playgrounds simultaneously.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council proposes writing off unpaid debts totaling 1,084,304.84 SEK from 2024. These debts primarily stem from fees within childcare, individual and family care, and elder care. While writing off the debts removes them from accounting, those who owe the money remain liable for payment.
The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council will decide on the allocation of association grants for 2026. Out of 38 applying associations, 30 are proposed to receive a total of 1,598,200 SEK to support local community life and activities, including 402,300 SEK specifically for holiday activities for children and young people aged six to 17.
This item concerns several reports and matters regarding social psychiatry and housing support in the Hägersten-Älvsjö district, which the Social Welfare Committee processed on December 9, 2025. This includes budget mandate reporting on resource measurement, allocation of local development funds, and issues concerning trial and training apartments, Housing First, and housing for individuals with co-occurring disorders or elderly experiencing homelessness. The possibility of centralizing trial and training apartments and city-wide housing support initiatives was also reported.
This matter reports that the Hägersten-Älvsjö district administration has directly responded to several citizen proposals. These proposals include banning New Year's rockets, starting a local cinema at Medborgarhuset in Hägerstensåsen, improving public transport, and placing a defibrillator at Medborgarhuset.
The Hägersten-Älvsjö Pensioners' Council held a meeting where Irene Svensson was elected chair. They discussed the renovation of care homes Fruängsgården 1 and Trehörningen 1, which will create 140 new care places, and criticized the insufficient snow removal, though they were reassured that home care services still reach the elderly.
The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council has reviewed a plan for monitoring elder care services in the district during 2026. This follow-up aims to ensure high quality in municipal, private, and contracted operations, including home care and residential homes. The goal is for the elderly to feel secure and that the services provided are meaningful.
The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council is set to approve a statement to the City Executive Board regarding a new agreement for the IT support system Lifecare SP. This system coordinates care and support for individuals discharged from hospitals who require continued home-based services. The agreement, valid from 2026-2030, outlines system management and cost distribution, with Region Stockholm covering 81% and the municipalities 19%.
The Moderates in Hägersten-Älvsjö inquired about the progress of implementing the new Social Services Act, effective July 1, 2025, which aims for a more accessible, preventative, and individualized social service with faster interventions and less bureaucracy. The Hägersten-Älvsjö district administration responded that an action plan will be established in January 2026, noting efforts to strengthen open care for children and youth, employ an elder care coordinator, and collaborate with other districts to standardize services. The district has received approximately 6.7 million SEK and anticipates an additional 13 million SEK in government funding for this transition in 2026.
The property Trehörningen 1 in Hägersten-Älvsjö, home to Trekanten service house, will be redeveloped into a care home with approximately 92 apartments to meet the growing need for elderly care in the city. The redevelopment, expected to be completed by 2030, will mean the closure of the service house, with residents offered priority for other accommodations and the 85 employees offered new positions within elderly care.
The Hägersten-Älvsjö district plans to renovate parts of Fruängsgården 1, expanding its care home capacity by 48 apartments and closing the existing service house with its 41 apartments. Current residents will be prioritized for alternative housing, and employees will be reassigned. The renovation, expected to be completed by 2031, will increase the district's annual rent by 15.3 million SEK.
The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council proposes extending the agreement with Djur & Kul i Stockholm AB, allowing them to continue operating Aspudden's animal-focused park playground until September 2028. This ensures residents can keep visiting and participating in animal activities. A follow-up shows the operation meets contractual requirements, though minor issues regarding insurance and sales permits will be addressed.
The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council proposes allocating SEK 1,481,850 in operational grants to 27 local associations for 2026. Sannadals Sportklubb and OK Älvsjö Örby were denied funding as their activities fall under the responsibility of the Sports Council. These grants aim to strengthen community life, offer residents activities and cultural events, and encourage engagement.
Two citizens proposed converting a privately owned property in Långbro park into parkland, possibly through a land exchange, to protect cultural heritage and prevent housing. The district administration supports incorporating the property into the park but defers land exchange matters to the development office. The City Planning Committee has already rejected townhouses on the property, instead favoring public use like a café, thus partially addressing the citizens' proposal.
A citizen proposed opening an independent art workshop for preschool children in Marievik. The Hägersten-Älvsjö district administration supports the idea but suggests placing it in Solberga instead, to ensure more equitable opportunities for children across the entire district. The administration will now investigate costs and find suitable premises to start the operation.
The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council addressed three citizen proposals. A suggestion for notice boards in Hägersten will be sent for further investigation. Two other proposals, one for a playground at Vantörsvägen/Ada Nilsson's street (deemed recently renovated) and another for a memorial site in Fruängen (which falls under the Traffic Administration's responsibility), will receive administrative responses rather than further investigation.
The Stockholm Social Services Department has rejected a grant application from the association "Children of their City." The association, which aims to provide psychosocial support to children and young people in vulnerable areas, does not meet the city's grant requirements. Specifically, the association's activity report and financial documentation are lacking, and its board does not meet the criteria for democratic structure and conflicts of interest.
The minutes from the Council for Disability Issues meeting on January 22, 2026, addressed several important matters for people with disabilities. Among other things, an annual report was discussed, highlighting both progress and shortcomings in efforts concerning children's participation and employment initiatives within social psychiatry. The council also provided feedback on the development of the digital application service ASoS for support and services, and proposed that SIP meetings (coordinated individual planning meetings) be made more client-centered and held digitally or in a hybrid format.
The Social Welfare Administration supports the proposal for a new housing plan for individuals with special needs (under the Social Services Act and the Act on Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) and supported housing for the years 2025-2035. This plan was approved by the Municipal Executive Board on December 17, 2025, aiming to ensure sufficient adapted housing and support for these groups in Stockholm.
The Social Services Administration and the Södermalm District Administration plan to build a new group home with 13 apartments for individuals with disabilities on the Svärdet 8 property in Södermalm. The residence, expected to be ready by 2028, will be rented out by Micasa Fastigheter, with an estimated annual rental cost of approximately 3.5 million SEK. This initiative is part of the city's strategy to reduce the deficit in special housing accommodations by 2035.
The Social Services Committee and the Hägersten Älvsjö District Committee are planning a new service residence for individuals with disabilities in the Fader Bergström block in Hägersten. The residence will comprise twelve apartments with a common room and is expected to be completed in 2028. This initiative aims to reduce the shortage of such housing in Stockholm and the estimated annual rent is approximately 1.8 million Swedish kronor.
This report indicates that during the third quarter of 2025, there were 151 pending decisions regarding support for people with disabilities (LSS) and 115 pending decisions concerning social services (SoL) in Stockholm. The most frequent reasons for these decisions not being implemented are a lack of available places, such as housing or daily activities, or that the individual declines offers or has specific preferences.
The Social Services Committee in Stockholm has decided to grant certain officials at the Social Emergency Unit the authority to request police assistance. This will be for the apprehension of young people and individuals with substance abuse issues (under the Compulsory Care of Young Persons Act and the Compulsory Care of Alcohol and Drug Abusers Act), as well as to implement decisions regarding protected housing for children in need. This measure aims to enable those working in individual and family care to act swiftly in urgent situations. The district committees will subsequently make similar decisions.
The Stockholm Social Services Administration proposes granting the Director of Social Services the authority to quickly allocate state funds received by the city for various social initiatives in 2026. This will facilitate faster access to these grants for the city districts. In 2025, the administration coordinated applications and secured over 174 million SEK in state grants for areas including preventive social services, crime prevention, child and youth care, and efforts to combat homelessness.
The Social Services Board has reviewed how the district administrations in Bromma and Hässelby-Vällingby manage individuals who have long received financial assistance due to unemployment. The review indicates that these individuals often have complex issues that cannot be resolved with standardized interventions. More individualized support, better coordination with healthcare and other authorities, and a greater focus on the children's situation in these families are needed.
The Social Welfare Committee has been tasked with developing new, uniform guidelines for how places in special housing for adults with disabilities or mental health issues are allocated. The aim is to ensure everyone is treated equally and receives a legally sound decision when applying for housing. The new guidelines will also clarify the division of responsibilities between the social administration and the district administrations, as well as how the choice system functions when selecting housing.
The Social Services Committee has approved a new agreement with Region Stockholm concerning IT support, Lifecare SP, to facilitate collaboration during hospital discharges. This system will help ensure safe transitions from inpatient care to home care. The Social Services Administration supports increased municipal influence over the system's development, emphasizing the importance of coordinated individual plans (SIP) for residents.
Stockholm City has developed a revised program for child health in preschools, aiming to ensure all children in the city's preschools have a safe, inclusive, and health-promoting environment, regardless of background, and to reduce disparities in children's living conditions. The program emphasizes physical, mental, and social health, along with the importance of early and preventative interventions in collaboration between preschools, social services, and other relevant stakeholders. The Social Services Administration welcomes the new, clearer program and highlights social services' crucial role as a partner.
The Board of Kulturhuset Stadsteatern AB will decide on new rules for who can approve payments. This is due to staff changes and the need for updated routines for invoices, procurements, and salaries. The aim is to ensure accurate and efficient financial management.
Kulturhuset Stadsteatern is formally adopting 17 previously unapproved City of Stockholm governance documents, which they have already been implementing, including the city's microplastic action plan and bicycle plan. While acknowledging the city's general guideline of three management levels, they deem their current four-level structure appropriate and efficient. Although they struggle to meet the 90% permanent employment target due to the industry's need for temporary artists, approximately 90% of their staff are already full-time, which they believe fulfills the "full-time as the norm" policy's intent.
Kulturhuset Stadsteatern received its annual GDPR report, which generally praised their data protection work as good and continuously improving, despite some challenges. Key areas for improvement include increased employee knowledge of personal data incidents and their reporting, as well as clearer internal responsibilities for data protection. The report also recommended continued focus on data handling, particularly concerning the library system and e-Dok.
Kulturhuset Stadsteatern reviewed their internal control plan for 2025 and found it to be largely sufficient, though some areas need improvement. They plan to strengthen follow-up on direct procurements, travel, and complimentary tickets, and continue training managers on administrative processes. Actions like clearer communication on travel policy and ticket handling are already underway to improve routines.
Kulturhuset Stadsteatern AB has addressed auditor recommendations regarding the company's finances and administration, taking steps to improve handling of entertainment, travel, and complimentary tickets, and to strengthen internal controls and GDPR compliance. However, some recommendations concerning direct procurement and contract management remain open or partially addressed, and work on these will continue.
Kulturhuset Stadsteatern has adopted its activity report for 2025, which shows it was their strongest year yet with 2.5 million visitors and ticket revenues of SEK 124.8 million, a 13% increase from the previous year. Notable successes include the play "Lonely together," the exhibition "Total Metal," Bio Husby, and the youth initiative "Stationen" in Skärholmen, all contributing to a positive result after depreciation that exceeded the budget by SEK 615,000 and a higher-than-expected self-financing ratio.
Kulturhuset Stadsteatern had a successful year with record visitors and increased revenue, particularly from the Main Stage and Soppteatern. They also appointed a new sanctuary artist from Iran and established the budget and activity plan for 2026. Furthermore, an internal control plan and waste management plan for Stockholm 2025-2030 were approved.
The Stockholm Swimming Association has written to the Sports Committee regarding the city's swimming proficiency program, welcoming it but emphasizing the need for deeper, more structured cooperation between the city and associations. They argue that swimming clubs should be viewed as partners, not competitors, and existing systems like school swimming must improve to achieve the program's goal of increased swimming proficiency among Stockholmers.
Danderyd Municipality requested that the City of Stockholm address the issue of boat mooring spots in Ropsten for Tranholmen residents, which are crucial for their work and school commutes given the island's lack of road access. Stockholm City's Sports Department cannot assist as these are not recreational boats, but the Exploitation Office is open to dialogue with Tranholmen residents to find solutions for jetties in Ropsten, despite limitations posed by the urban development of Norra Djurgårdsstaden.
The City of Stockholm is launching a new child health program in municipal preschools, aiming to provide a safe and healthy environment for all children aged 1-6, regardless of background or residence. This program focuses on physical, mental, and social well-being, seeking to reduce disparities in children's living conditions through cross-departmental and stakeholder collaboration.
The Sports Committee decided that Chairman Johan Heinonen (S) and Vice Chairman Mikael Peterson (C) will attend a meeting in Malmö on January 28–29, 2026. This meeting is part of a collaborative effort between the recreation departments of Stockholm, Malmö, and Gothenburg to exchange experiences, with the Sports Department covering travel and accommodation costs.
The Sports Committee has approved an expanded investment of SEK 49.6 million in the sports facilities at Gjutmästaren 6 in the Ulvsunda industrial area. This represents an increase of SEK 30 million from the original decision, bringing the total estimated investment to SEK 60 million. A significant portion of the increased cost is attributed to a new LED sports floor, deemed more advantageous long-term due to lower operating expenses.
The Sports Administration announced three delegated decisions: Dynamite Cheerleading will receive a grant, Healthy Women gains access to gyms in Husby and Skärholmen for young girls, and Robert Sköld will temporarily serve as director during Marina Högland's vacation.
Council members Jan Jönsson and Christina Tufvesson (both L) propose the City of Stockholm investigate creating more affordable and accessible premises for associations and local entrepreneurs, especially in the outer city, due to a lack of suitable spaces hindering local development. The City Executive Board responds that the city already supports associations and entrepreneurs through existing initiatives like Föreningsservice and Kulturlotsen, and it is important to coordinate any new efforts with these to avoid creating parallel structures. The Board therefore suggests the motion be answered by referring to the ongoing work.
C, M, and KD council members proposed that sports clubs should retain subsidized rent for events even when selling low-alcohol beer, arguing that the previous higher rent for such sales negatively impacted club finances. Stockholm City has already decided to introduce a special club rate for events from 2026, which will allow subsidized rent despite low-alcohol beer sales, thus fulfilling the motion's request.
The Liberals proposed enhancing Stockholm's strategy for the careful development of detached and semi-detached housing areas, advocating for new constructions to better match the existing character and for green spaces to be prioritized. The city responded that it is already reviewing current strategies, particularly in light of upcoming changes to the Planning and Building Act, and will incorporate the motion's suggestions into this ongoing work.
The Liberals, represented by Jan Jönsson and Christina Tufvesson, proposed that the City of Stockholm develop an action plan to reduce student dropouts from SFI (Swedish for Immigrants), citing negative impacts on integration and employment opportunities. However, the City Executive Board and the majority of committees deemed an additional plan unnecessary, stating that a well-functioning system with tailored education and follow-up already exists to address dropouts, despite agreeing on the importance of completed SFI studies for integration and self-sufficiency.
Council members Kristin Jacobsson and Svante Linusson (both Centre Party) propose that the City of Stockholm investigate all parking garages owned by Stockholm Parkering AB to see how they can be converted into protective spaces. This would involve equipping the garages with basic ventilation, toilets, and water access, as well as ensuring they meet MSB's requirements for protective spaces. The City suggests that the motion be answered by stating that national requirements and state funding for such measures must first be awaited, as there are no clear laws or funding currently in place.
The Liberals propose restoring and preserving culturally significant parks like Vasaparken and Humlegården, ensuring new additions like benches and lighting align with original designs, and adding more kiosks offering cultural items and food to liven them up. City administrations respond that they already work to preserve the parks' cultural-historical values and that kiosk possibilities already exist, further noting that parks must balance historical values with contemporary demands for accessibility and safety.
The Liberals propose that associations be allowed to take over the maintenance of smaller parks in Stockholm through user agreements to combat neglect and increase local engagement. The city believes the main responsibility for park maintenance must remain with the municipality to ensure quality and safety, but that associations can contribute with extra efforts beyond normal upkeep.
The Liberals propose that Stockholm investigate how to increase the number of workplaces in Söderort, as the current uneven distribution leads to longer commutes, congestion, and increased emissions. The city council states that work to strengthen workplace development in Söderort is already underway through existing and future budget assignments, including analyzing the need for office workplaces and developing strategies for the area. However, the Liberals argue that more can be done to facilitate company establishments.
Councilman Dennis Wedin (M) believes Stockholm needs more new businesses and that the city's business climate has worsened. He proposes Stockholm Business Region regain responsibility for new business advising and that the city investigate consolidating business supervision and permits into one unit. Governing Mayor Karin Wanngård disagrees on the business climate, stating the city's new model, Entrepreneur Stockholm, is more effective by initially focusing on green transition, social entrepreneurship, and shortage occupations for sustainable growth. She rejects Wedin's proposals.
Liberal politician Jan Jönsson proposed naming a public space in Stockholm after Aaron Isaac, the first Jew to settle in Sweden without converting to Christianity in 1775, to highlight the Jewish minority's historical significance. The City Executive Office and City Planning Committee oppose this due to existing locations named after him, which could cause confusion, suggesting instead that information about these existing places be enhanced. The Jewish Central Council and the Jewish Youth Association support the proposal, specifically suggesting Tyska Brunnsplan in Gamla stan as a suitable location.
Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm map afrophobia in its schools, including an analysis of discrimination reports and dialogue with civil society. The majority of committees and the City Executive Board believe a similar mapping of all racism in schools is already underway and its results should be awaited before deciding on a specific afrophobia mapping. Some committees and the minority emphasize the importance of a specific mapping, noting that Afro-Swedes are overrepresented among victims of violent hate crimes.
Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm conduct a new survey of antisemitism in its schools and preschools and develop an action plan, citing increased antisemitism following events in Israel and Gaza since the last 2021 study. While acknowledging the importance of combating antisemitism, the majority of committees and city councilors rejected the motion, stating that ongoing local and national initiatives and surveys need to be completed and analyzed first, with further specific studies potentially considered later. The Liberals maintained their proposal, criticizing existing plans as too vague and insufficiently focused on antisemitism.
Council member Jan Jönsson (L) proposed implementing a Swedish language test for high school students, similar to the existing math test, to better monitor reading comprehension and provide schools with improvement tools. However, the Municipal Board rejected the proposal, citing a 2022 investigation that deemed such a test insufficiently effective or cost-efficient, though the opposition lodged a reservation, arguing it could help elementary schools address reading deficiencies.
The Centre Party proposed a comprehensive plan to preserve and develop Stockholm's avenues and mature trees, including an inventory, protection strategy, new avenue areas, and transforming Karlbergsvägen into a green esplanade. The City Executive Board responded that much of this work is already underway or planned, such as a new tree policy and tree planting initiatives, but planting new trees on Karlbergsvägen is limited due to the City Line and other underground infrastructure.
Liberal Jan Jönsson proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate the manifestation of homo- and transphobia within its own operations, aiming to develop concrete anti-discrimination measures for LGBTQI+ individuals. While several boards believe the city already addresses these issues through its human rights program and find a separate survey difficult, the Liberals argue existing efforts are insufficient, particularly regarding residents' experiences, and advocate for more LGBTQ-certified operations.
Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (both L) propose that the City of Stockholm should facilitate the tourism industry by reducing bureaucracy, improving service, and making regulations more predictable, specifically mentioning faster processing times and simplified applications. The City Executive Board believes the city is already addressing these issues through deregulation, digitalization, and industry dialogue, thus deeming new assignments unnecessary. However, the Liberal and Centre Parties have filed reservations, emphasizing the merit of the motion's proposals and the industry's continued experience of these problems.
A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that the City Executive Board take coordinated responsibility for developing Fagersjöviken in Magelungen into an attractive area for water recreation, such as swimming and paddling, to counteract overgrowth and unclear responsibilities. The Board responded that the city is already addressing Magelungen's improvement through a local action program covering both nature and recreation, thus fulfilling the motion's intent within existing work. Several committees, including the Sports Committee and the Environment and Health Protection Committee, concurred, emphasizing the need to balance recreation with preserving Magelungen's high ecological value.
The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm evaluate its environmental zones, including those in Gamla stan and Södermalm, to assess their impact on air quality, emissions, residents, and businesses, and whether their benefits are proportionate to their effects. The City responds that ongoing evaluations for both current and future environmental zones are already underway, noting positive effects on air quality despite challenges with compliance.
The Liberals propose an investigation into the use of digital tools in preschools and the development of new guidelines, advocating for screen-free environments as a rule, with exceptions for older children and clear pedagogical purposes, citing research on negative developmental impacts. The City Executive and other committees deem the motion addressed by the revised preschool curriculum, effective July 2025, which removes digital tool requirements, emphasizes analog tools, especially for younger children, and grants preschool teachers greater autonomy in tool selection based on scientific grounds and children's needs.
The Liberals propose that Stockholm should map the prevalence of honor-based oppression in the city's preschools, using the results to provide staff with better tools and training to detect and counteract it. The City Executive Board majority believes the city should await the outcome of a national inquiry into honor-based oppression in schools, but that the city's ongoing work to strengthen competence against honor violence should continue in the interim.
Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) has proposed that Stockholm aim to maintain its 2020 level of parking spaces, arguing they are crucial for residents' daily lives and that the city should invest in more underground garages. However, the City Executive Board and several committees advise against this goal, stating it conflicts with the city's aim to reduce car traffic by 30 percent by 2030, improve accessibility, and lessen climate impact, preferring to prioritize walking, cycling, and public transport instead.
A motion proposed that the City of Stockholm acquire land in Långbro Park, specifically the privately owned Lågbron 1 property, to preserve its natural and cultural values, countering plans for twelve townhouses and a café. The Moderate Party advocated for the city to purchase or exchange the land, potentially offering building rights elsewhere, to integrate it into the park. However, the City Executive Board rejected the proposal, deferring to the ongoing detailed development plan process.
Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposes transforming Johanneshovsvägen in Årsta from a four-lane road into a green, two-lane boulevard, making space for approximately 1045 new homes, shops, restaurants, and wider pedestrian and cycle paths. He also suggests a green corridor and a new public square to enhance social cohesion. The city agrees with the vision for development and new housing but states that these plans are already part of the ongoing "Årstastråket" phase 3 project, which includes about 1500 new homes, thus deeming additional directives unnecessary.
The Liberals propose a review of Stockholm's land allocation policy to better assist those struggling to find housing, advocating for stronger social requirements on developers, such as more homes for lower-income households, and a greater role for the social welfare committee. However, the City, via the City Executive Board, believes existing guidelines and a new housing provision action plan already address these concerns, rendering a policy revision unnecessary.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed developing Kista into a Nordic total defense center to reverse its negative trend of companies leaving and high vacancy rates, alongside strategic urban development with more housing and improved public spaces. Stockholm City agrees on Kista's importance and the need for investment, noting that much work is already underway and emphasizing a mixed-use district; while not seeing a defense center as the sole solution, they confirm that defense-related activities are present and will continue to be strengthened.
Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed a scheme for residents to purchase and finance their own trees, possibly with a nameplate, for planting on public land to increase the city's tree count without heavily burdening the municipal budget. However, the City Executive Board rejected the proposal, citing previous similar initiatives that proved administratively burdensome and not cost-effective, alongside legal and practical challenges regarding ownership and maintenance. Instead, the red-green parties have allocated 71 million SEK for tree planting and maintenance in 2026.
Two Sweden Democrats proposed that all signs and advertising in Stockholm's public spaces should be primarily in Swedish, meaning Swedish text must visually dominate, for instance, by being at least twice as large as text in other languages. The proposal was rejected by the majority of the municipal executive board and most committees, citing existing legislation, the city's communication program, and concerns that it could hinder communication and accessibility for residents and visitors.
Liberal Party members propose that the city's policy documents, such as the architecture policy and the strategy for small-house areas, should have a greater impact on Stockholm's development. They argue these documents are not always fully followed, potentially risking important cultural environments and the city's unique character. The City Executive Board responds that the city already systematically works to strengthen these documents and inter-committee coordination through training and follow-ups, but remains positive about further development.
Åsa Nilsson Söderström (L) proposed establishing a competence center in Stockholm to assist individuals subjected to transnational repression, involving threats and pressure from their home countries. This center would consolidate knowledge, provide support, and offer legal aid. The majority of administrations and the City Commissioner believe this falls outside municipal responsibility and is a state task, while the Liberal Party argues it could operate similarly to "Origo," an existing center for honor-related violence.
Jan Jönsson (L) suggests Stockholm schools should increase their use of phonics to improve students' reading ability, which has declined according to an international study. The City Executive Board believes phonics is important but not sufficient, advocating for balanced instruction using multiple methods and a focus on language comprehension, especially for non-native Swedish speakers. The Board also shares Stockholm University's concern regarding politicians' detailed control over teachers' methodological choices.
Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (L) propose consolidating all Stockholm city parking garages under the company Stockholm Parkering to improve efficiency and clarity. This would relieve companies like SISAB from managing parking facilities, allowing them to focus on their core missions. Despite challenges such as property formation and tax implications, the proposers advocate for an investigation to determine the optimal solution.
Councilman Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the city should take action to lower food prices by increasing competition among grocery stores, suggesting competition analyses in planning, a "fast track" for new stores in detailed plans, and reviewing existing plans. The city responded that they are already actively working on this, citing the "New grocery stores – Proactive planning and land allocation" project, and deemed a fast track inappropriate as it could compromise quality assurance in the planning process and risk hindering sustainable urban development goals.
Councillor Svante Linusson (C) proposed moving the winter break to an earlier week to increase the chance of Stockholm's children experiencing winter play with snow and ice, citing milder winters and less snow during week 9. However, the City Executive Board advises against this, deeming it would create significant challenges for schools, families, and businesses, and noting that earlier timing wouldn't guarantee snow either.
Two SD politicians aim to halt the construction of an LSS residential home in Lammholmen, citing unsuitable ground conditions, the risk of destroying an old-growth forest, and highway noise. However, the city and several committees deem the residence necessary due to a significant shortage of LSS places and assert that all concerns will be thoroughly investigated during the detailed planning process.
Motioners propose that the City of Stockholm immediately activate a twin city agreement with Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, and donate surplus equipment for Ukraine's reconstruction, seeing this as an act of solidarity and a way to assist Kyiv with expertise and materials. Presenting Commissioner Karin Wanngård responded that Stockholm already supports Ukraine in various ways, an agreement can be signed when feasible, and the city continuously investigates opportunities to donate equipment based on Ukraine's needs. The Moderates and Liberals have reservations, advocating for immediate activation of the twin city agreement and regular equipment donations.
Johan Nilsson (M) proposed that all municipal primary and secondary schools in Stockholm should be locked 24/7 to enhance security and prevent unauthorized access. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion, but further investigating the matter. Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) and the City Management Office have already been tasked with examining whether SISAB can cover the costs of installing electronic access systems, aiming to equip more schools with such locking systems.
The Moderates proposed that the City of Stockholm regularly map honor-related violence and oppression, at least once per term, to monitor developments and improve preventive and supportive measures, especially for children and young people in schools. However, the City Executive Office, the Social Welfare Committee, and the Education Committee believe that extensive work is already underway and a new mapping would be too resource-intensive at present, citing an ongoing government inquiry on the matter. Therefore, the motion is proposed to not be approved.
Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the City of Stockholm work to make football safer and preserve the supporter culture. This would involve Stockholm Globe Arena Fastigheter AB installing new security solutions at the arenas, in cooperation with Hammarby IF and Djurgårdens IF, before the 2025 season to prevent disturbances and match interruptions. The City Executive Board considers the motion answered, referring to ongoing work on technical solutions and a broader dialogue between the city, the police, and sports federations to promote a positive supporter culture and counter violence and extremism in the stands.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes that Stockholm sell land it owns outside the municipal border, primarily in Botkyrka, Ekerö, Huddinge, Järfälla, and Nacka, as it's no longer vital for Stockholm's development. While Stockholm historically acquired land for suburban expansion, Naddebo believes there's no longer a reason to retain it. The City Executive Office and the Real Estate Committee responded that they are already working on selling non-strategic land when market conditions allow, with most having been sold since 2007, and therefore see no need for further instructions.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that the City of Stockholm create a central website for all citizen proposals, including their responses and decisions, to increase transparency and ease of access. The City Executive Board did not fully endorse the motion but stated that work to clarify procedures and improve citizen information is already underway.
The Liberals, represented by Jan Jönsson and Elin Hjelmestam, proposed a pilot project to install solar panels on the facades of municipal buildings in Stockholm to boost local electricity production and reduce climate impact. The City Executive Board responded that similar projects have already shown facade-mounted solar panels are less efficient and more costly than rooftop installations, deeming current rooftop strategies sufficient while monitoring future technological advancements.
Liberal politicians proposed that Stockholm establish an "environmental controller" for the major urban development project in Bromma. This role would minimize climate and environmental impact, ensure safe ground remediation, and preserve biodiversity. However, the City Executive Board believes an environmental controller is not necessary at this early stage, as sustainability issues are already being addressed within the project framework.
The Liberals proposed that the City of Stockholm hire a "contract controller" within the Traffic Administration to review, negotiate, and follow up on agreements with external companies, ensuring efficient use of taxpayer money and preventing cost overruns on large projects. However, several committees and the Traffic Administration itself stated they are already undertaking similar work and have even hired a contract controller for improved agreement follow-up, therefore suggesting the motion be addressed by referring to the ongoing work, meaning no further mandate will be issued.
Local politicians Jan Jönsson and Björn Ljung (Liberals) proposed a strategy to increase allotment gardens and urban farming spaces, citing long waitlists and benefits for biodiversity and well-being. The city's majority countered that a similar program is already underway, covering the motion's intent, though some district councils acknowledged the land scarcity challenge. The Liberals, however, criticized the slow progress and called for more innovative solutions like rooftop gardens and temporary cultivation areas.
Councillors Anette Hellström and Johan Nilsson (M) proposed that the city immediately prioritize a replacement facility for the closed Sätra recycling center and increase capacity at existing recycling centers in southern Stockholm. The City Executive Board responded that a temporary recycling center in Skärholmen centrum will open in September 2025, and capacity at Vantör recycling center has been expanded, while work on a new, permanent recycling center in western Söderort continues.
Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed that Stockholm hire a temporary "waste ombudsman" for two years to scrutinize municipal administrations' and companies' spending, aiming to streamline non-core expenses and reduce bureaucracy. The City Executive Board rejected the proposal, stating that extensive financial oversight already exists through bodies like the City Audit Office, and a new function risked duplicating efforts.
The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm support new and innovative housing construction methods, especially those that are socially and economically sustainable, like the Kymmendö model, and investigate regulatory hurdles while adapting land policy. The City Executive Board believes current guidelines and projects already address this, but the Liberals and Centre Party argue the city needs to do more to lower housing market thresholds.
Councilor Johan Kling (C) proposed that the municipality should map and actively seek out individuals with disabilities who are neither working nor studying, to offer enhanced support for employment or education, and to investigate entrepreneurial support. The city, including the labor market committee, countered that extensive outreach and support already exist, and that a separate mapping could be stigmatizing, stressing the importance of universal design over differentiating groups based on diagnosis. The Centre Party maintains, however, that clearer and more robust measures are needed to ensure no one is left behind.
Maurice Forslund (Christian Democrats) has proposed that the City of Stockholm cease providing financial assistance to undocumented individuals, arguing that current guidelines contribute to a "shadow society." However, the City Executive Office, the Social Welfare Committee, and several district committees advise against this proposal. They contend that the municipality bears ultimate responsibility for assisting anyone within its borders during acute emergencies, and that the proposal also fails to consider children's rights under the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Councillor Andréa Hedin (M) proposes that the City of Stockholm purchase more places at folk high schools for under-18s struggling with high school, for example due to neurodevelopmental disorders or mental health issues, to offer them a new chance in a more adapted environment. Currently, the city has five budgeted places that are rarely fully utilized, and the city believes the existing system of special support within high school and adult education sufficiently covers the need and provides better conditions.
Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) has proposed that the City of Stockholm amend its financial policy to permit investments in the European defence industry, arguing it would strengthen Swedish and European defence given the current security situation. However, the City Executive Office advises against this, citing the city's SEK 80 billion net debt and lack of funds for such long-term investments, with existing liquidity needed for short-term payments. Councillor Karin Wanngård concurs, suggesting the motion be dismissed based on these points and noting the city already supports Ukraine through other means.
The Centre Party proposes that Stockholm establish a cross-cutting supervision team, similar to Botkyrka Municipality's OTTO team, to more effectively combat organized crime, welfare fraud, and human trafficking, also focusing on identifying and assisting victims. However, the majority of the committees and Mayor Karin Wanngård believe that Stockholm already has a well-functioning "Coordinated Supervision" effort that effectively handles these issues and should be further developed, rather than introducing a new parallel structure.
Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) proposed that Stockholm investigate using lighter colors for asphalt and sidewalks to enhance attractiveness, reduce high temperatures during heatwaves, and improve lighting efficiency. However, most committees found increased greenery to be the most effective measure against heat islands, and the traffic committee argued that lighter asphalt could compromise traffic safety and visibility for the visually impaired.
Moderates Dennis Wedin and Henrik Virro proposed that the City investigate a common Facility Management (FM) strategy for services like property maintenance, cleaning, and reception, aiming for cost savings, increased efficiency, and improved service. The City Executive Board responded that such work is already underway within existing procurement processes but acknowledged the need to continuously improve FM operations in dialogue with relevant parties.
Two Liberal politicians, Jan Jönsson and Christina Tufvesson, proposed that the City of Stockholm should establish a "Teknikcollege" in the region to address the shortage of technical skills in industry and help residents find employment. However, the City Executive Board rejected the motion, citing that Region Stockholm is already running a similar project set to conclude in 2025. Some district councils and the Centre Party supported the motion, emphasizing the importance of corporate influence over curriculum design.
Center Party council members Kristin Jacobsson and Ismail Ali proposed that the City of Stockholm establish family social teams in each district, with social workers embedded in preschools to strengthen collaboration and provide early support for at-risk children. While the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion due to ongoing similar initiatives, including a preschool social worker pilot, the Moderates and Center Party dissent, arguing current efforts are insufficient and a broader, city-wide reform is needed to protect children.
Liliane Åkerlund (SD) has proposed that the municipality investigate the possibility of installing "friendship benches" in parks and other public spaces to encourage social interaction and combat loneliness. While the majority of committees view the idea positively, they note existing similar initiatives and emphasize the need for coordination should such benches be introduced. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing ongoing work aimed at creating more meeting places and fostering social interactions.
Two SD politicians have proposed that elected officials convicted of serious sexual or violent crimes, especially sexual molestation of children, should lose their right to severance pay or readjustment support. They want the City Council to investigate limiting such compensation. The City Executive Board states that it is already reviewing an update to the rules for readjustment support and pensions for elected officials, which will include a review of any further limitations.
The Centre Party proposed that young people receiving summer jobs through the City of Stockholm should undergo mandatory CV training, and that the application process should more closely resemble the regular job market, for example by requiring a cover letter. The City Executive Board responded that the current application process is already similar to the regular one and that a mandatory CV course could raise barriers for young people. They also noted that an investigation into the central coordination of summer jobs, which includes possibilities for offering voluntary job search support, is already underway.
Local politicians from the Moderate Party propose making Stockholm a greener and more enjoyable city by utilizing untapped spaces like flat roofs, areas under bridges, and unused quays. They want the city to identify these locations for more green oases, mini-parks, and meeting places, and to develop a plan to encourage this. However, the City Executive Board believes there are already numerous similar assignments and strategies for developing the city's public spaces, green areas, and quays, and that the relevant committees are already addressing these issues.
The Moderates proposed that the city create a plan to build more townhouses and similar homes in Stockholm, as apartments are currently the predominant form of new construction. They argue this would offer more varied housing, desired by many families seeking larger homes with gardens. However, the City Executive Board deemed a separate action plan unnecessary, as these issues are already addressed within existing planning and budget, which includes increasing the proportion of homes with at least four rooms and a kitchen to reduce overcrowding and combat segregation.
Councilors Kristin Jacobsson and Jonas Naddebo of the Centre Party proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate a "moving guide" for seniors to support those wishing to relocate to more suitable housing but find the move daunting, especially without relatives. While several referral bodies were positive, the City Executive Board rejected the motion, stating that similar support already exists within elderly care, such as elder coordinators and home care services providing practical moving assistance.
Local Moderate party members proposed that selected Stockholm libraries remain open overnight during school holidays and Culture Night 2025 to encourage reading among children and adults, including those with disabilities, and feature local authors. The City Executive Board rejected this, citing existing library activities and extended hours, but the Moderates dissented, arguing new methods are needed to combat declining literacy.
The Moderate Party proposed selling Hästa Gård, Stockholm's only active farm, arguing it needs extensive renovations and private ownership would ensure sustainable development while freeing up city resources. However, the red-green majority and several committees oppose the sale, citing the farm's unique value for culture, nature, recreation, its importance to the Järva area and city preparedness, and the recent lease agreement to develop it as a public meeting place.
The Centre Party proposed a "pothole guarantee" for Stockholm, requiring the city to repair potholes on streets and bike paths within 24 hours of a report to improve safety and accessibility. However, the City Executive Board advised against this, deeming a 24-hour guarantee not cost-effective and favoring preventative maintenance instead. The red-green parties have instead focused on increasing operational funds for the Traffic Committee to repair more potholes.
The Centre Party proposed establishing a cycling council to improve Stockholm's cycling infrastructure and prevent issues like blockages and dangerous obstacles. This council would include politicians, officials, civil society, and businesses to ensure better planning and cooperation. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, arguing that a newly appointed cycling coordinator within the traffic office, tasked with forming a coordination group from relevant administrations and companies, will address the need for improved collaboration.
The Centre Party proposes that the city improve conditions for cyclists by connecting bike paths, reducing queues at traffic lights and roadworks, and utilizing AI for traffic flow efficiency. The City Executive Board responds that many proposals are already underway or planned, as the city heavily invests in cycling infrastructure and is testing AI solutions to achieve its goal of Stockholm becoming Europe's leading cycling city. Some district councils also emphasize the need to improve park paths for cycling and increase options for secure bike storage.
A Moderate Party motion proposes that the City of Stockholm review school transport services, especially for children with disabilities, due to complaints about safety and quality, suggesting an analysis of current contracts, safety improvements, and Disability Council involvement in future procurements. The City Executive Board generally finds existing agreements satisfactory but suggests inviting the Disability Council to a reference group for new procurements. Several parties entered reservations, advocating for the motion's approval to further emphasize the importance of safe and secure school transport for all children.
Andréa Hedin (M) proposed a three-year trial of mobile-free municipal elementary schools in Stockholm, or until a national ban, to reduce mental ill-health and improve study environments. However, as most schools already have phone bans or strict rules, the council believes a new municipal ban would have little impact and suggests referring to the current statement, particularly since a national ban is likely forthcoming.
The Christian Democrats proposed reducing the number of summer jobs in Stockholm from 11,000 to 4,000, focusing on care and park maintenance to improve quality and eliminate "make-work" jobs. However, the City Executive Board, supported by administrative departments, rejected this, arguing that such a reduction would harm youth entry into the job market and the city's future skills provision. They asserted that existing summer jobs are already high quality and meaningful, and the focus should instead be on increasing their number and quality across various sectors.
Two Sweden Democrats politicians sought to halt multi-family housing construction in Älvsjö villa areas, arguing that the densification is destroying the district's green character. The City Executive Board and committees responded that densification is necessary to address the housing shortage and aligns with the city's comprehensive plan for a sustainable city with varied development, while still considering the area's character.
Two SD politicians want to halt construction of a new building on the Läkarhuset site at Odenplan, proposing a classical-style design that better suits the surroundings instead of the approved modern one. They also wish to explore reusing parts of the existing structure and including neighboring properties for a more cohesive urban landscape. However, the municipal board majority and relevant committees reject the motion, stating the adopted detailed plan is well-conceived, promotes housing and a vibrant city environment, and aligns with Stockholm’s comprehensive plan.
Two SD politicians wish to halt the construction of high-rises in Åkeslund, arguing these would harm nature, cultural heritage, a scenic path, and a playground, besides being out of character for the area. They propose the City Planning Committee instead develop a new plan with fewer and lower buildings. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, as lower exploitation would render the project financially unfeasible, and the current plan is deemed well-balanced.
Two politicians from the Sweden Democrats want the City of Stockholm to halt plans for building a senior residence next to the historic Hoving Manor on Södermalm. They argue the proposed building would obstruct the view from the manor and turn the cultural reserve into a courtyard house, suggesting instead that the senior residence be built in an existing office building nearby.
Gabriel Kroon (SD) and others proposed revising building plans for Telefonplan to reduce the number of high-rise buildings, arguing the current plan threatens cultural values, green spaces, and residents' quality of life, and referred to an alternative proposal from "Telefonplans vänner." The City Executive Board responded that the detailed planning is already incorporating these viewpoints regarding building height and cityscape, with a new review scheduled for later, while also emphasizing Stockholm's significant housing shortage.
The Sweden Democrats proposed halting plans for approximately 65 new apartments in five buildings within the Branterna park area of Mälarhöjden, citing high natural values and strong local opposition. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, emphasizing Stockholm's housing shortage, the project's role in connecting Mälarhöjden and Bredäng, and assuring a democratic and transparent planning process that will consider public feedback.
The Moderates proposed relocating the bus stop on Denmark Street in Kista and reopening the street to all traffic, citing significant congestion for both buses and private vehicles. The City Executive Office and Traffic Committee responded that work is already underway to improve Kista bus terminal, and the Traffic Office is in ongoing discussions with Region Stockholm regarding bus stop locations, thus deeming a new directive unnecessary.
Councillor Tom Hedrup (M) proposed that all high school students in Stockholm should visit a university at least once before graduation to boost interest in further studies, especially among students from homes without academic traditions. The City Executive Board responded that Stockholm already collaborates with institutions like KTH and Stockholm University, partly through Vetenskapens Hus, which offers free visits. However, the Board believes that principals are responsible for planning study visits based on their school's specific needs.
The Moderates proposed reallocating 1.3 million SEK, previously withdrawn from the disqualified Ibn Rushd study association, to an organization combating antisemitism like the Swedish Committee Against Antisemitism (SKMA). However, the municipal board's majority rejected this motion and instead decided the funds should go to Studiefrämjandet Mälardalen to operate Kvinnornas bildningshus in Tensta.
Councillor Andréa Hedin (M) proposes Stockholm develop a new action plan against honour-related violence and corrective journeys, including exit bans for children, systematic follow-ups for children who don't return after holidays, and an information campaign. The City Executive Board responds that the city already updates routines and collaborates with various committees and authorities to protect children, but will continue to develop this work, partly inspired by Västerås' "missing students" model.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes a revitalization of Blasieholmstorg to create a more vibrant, safe, and attractive area with additional cafes and outdoor seating, along with improved traffic safety for cyclists and pedestrians on Arsenalsgatan. The city notes that a visioning process for Blasieholmen is already underway for the 2025 budget, focusing on developing and activating the area, but advises against further measures beyond this ongoing work.
Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed that Stockholm's traffic committee evaluate the cost-effectiveness of environmental zones class 2 and 3, specifically by calculating the cost per "quality-adjusted life year" (QALY) gained, to ensure the zones are not ideologically driven given previous reports of high costs. However, the majority of committees and the presenting City Commissioner rejected this, stating the city already monitors air quality and that environmental zones are crucial for public health and climate, with health benefits outweighing costs despite the difficulty of a precise health-economic analysis.
The Moderates proposed that the City Planning Committee improve its service and accessibility for citizens and property owners, given their declining customer satisfaction index (NKI), by developing action plans and setting clear service goals. The City Planning Committee responded that they are already working to improve service and customer satisfaction, including organizational adjustments and developing building permit processes, rendering further directives unnecessary.
Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposed that Stockholm's municipal housing companies should introduce background checks for new tenants, extending beyond finances to include histories of disturbances or illegal activities, aiming to enhance safety. The City Executive Board rejected this, stating that the housing companies already possess comprehensive tenant screening procedures and collaborate with social services to prevent evictions, noting that further checks would be legally complex and resource-intensive.
Motion sponsors from the Moderates and Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm actively work towards securing a permanent location in Stockholm for Sweden's Museum of the Holocaust, as it currently operates from temporary premises. They emphasize the museum's importance in combating antisemitism and preserving Holocaust memory, particularly during the 250th anniversary of Jewish life in Sweden. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing the city's ongoing efforts to facilitate a permanent relocation to Tullhuset on Blasieholmen.
The City of Stockholm has adopted a new school library plan for preschools and schools, approved by the City Executive Board on December 17, 2025. This plan aims to provide all children, students, and teachers with access to quality libraries staffed by qualified personnel and offering a wide range of books and media. The goal is to boost reading enjoyment and strengthen language development, especially for children with reading and writing difficulties and those whose mother tongue is not Swedish.
The City of Stockholm proposes to ban the use of nitrous oxide for intoxication in public places within the city's densely populated areas. This aims to counter increased use among young people, reduce public disturbances and littering, and protect residents' health. This new ban complements a national law effective July 1, 2025, which prohibits the sale of nitrous oxide for intoxicating purposes.
The City Council is proposed to implement an alcohol ban in parts of the Spelbomskan block, near Observatorielunden in Norra innerstaden. Despite the area no longer being classified as an open drug scene, problems with alcohol and drug abuse, littering, and insecurity persist. The ban aims to assist the police in preventing crime and public disturbances and to increase safety for residents and visitors.
The City of Stockholm plans to construct approximately 220 new rental apartments in Sätra, including a six-unit LSS housing facility, extending K2A Knaust & Andersson Fastigheter's land allocation agreement by two years. While the city will cover utility relocations, K2A will compensate these costs through a higher ground lease fee for the initial ten years. The Sweden Democrats oppose this decision, arguing it leads to the loss of green spaces and deviates from the area's original planning.
Fees for preschool, after-school care, and inconvenient hours care in Stockholm are proposed to increase starting February 1, 2026, based on the Swedish National Agency for Education's maximum fee calculations for that year. The first child will have a maximum fee of SEK 1,847/month for full-time and SEK 1,231/month for part-time, with the highest income threshold set at SEK 61,560/month.
The City of Stockholm is set to approve a new action plan for 2025–2027 to support young people under 20 who have left school without a high school diploma. The municipality will actively reach out to these youths, offering support to start or resume studies, or alternatively, assistance in finding employment. Special emphasis will be placed on inter-departmental collaboration and reaching vulnerable youths, including those subjected to honor-based violence or facing threats.
Dennis Wedin (M) has questioned Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding the halted investigation into covering Nynäsvägen. This busy road, used daily by up to 76,000 vehicles, causes significant noise and air pollution in Gamla Enskede and Johanneshov. Wedin argues that the previous decision to stop the investigation due to economic reasons lacks supporting calculations and questions why no cost-benefit analysis has been presented and how southern Stockholm's traffic will be improved to mitigate Nynäsvägen's impact on residents.
Council member Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned climate and environment vice mayor Åsa Lindhagen (MP) on why green spaces like Myrberget in Bromma are sacrificed for housing, arguing that the majority's housing policy diminishes Stockholm's greenery and destroys valuable nature used by schools like Alviksskolan. He sought clarification on prioritized natural values and what the vice mayor intends to do to halt development at Myrberget.
Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned City Planning Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) about construction plans for Ålstensskogen and Storskogen in Bromma, expressing concern that land removed from a new nature reserve might be developed with housing akin to the Million Programme, and asking why the plans are secret. Valeskog (S) responded that while a nature reserve protects nature, the Exploitation Committee has simultaneously allocated land to Svenska Bostäder for approximately 50 new Stockholmshus rental apartments to diversify the area's housing, assuring an open process with opportunities for public input.
The Moderates questioned Social Welfare Commissioner Alexander Ojanne (S) regarding the evaluation of the School Social Teams Plus (SST+) project, aimed at students with high absenteeism. While the evaluation showed success in re-engaging students, it also highlighted coordination issues and that only 28 of 60 available spots were filled. Ojanne responded that the city is broadly addressing school absenteeism, with funds allocated to permanently establish SST+ city-wide, starting with focus areas, and a new integrated model is being piloted in certain districts for evaluation in summer 2026 before wider implementation.
Moderate party member Andréa Hedin is questioning the Elder Care and Culture Commissioner, Torun Boucher (V), about the persistent difficulties for seniors to consume alcohol at senior housing and community centers in Stockholm. Hedin points out that despite promises from the red-green administration to ease these restrictions, facilities like the Väduren senior residence in Vasastan have banned even liqueurs with coffee, and she asks how long the city will investigate this issue and if there are disagreements within the majority parties.
Kristin Jacobsson (C) has questioned the Elder and Culture Commissioner, Torun Boucher (V), regarding a policy preventing seniors in city housing from drinking alcohol on their own initiative in common areas. Residents at Väduren senior housing, who have long enjoyed Thursday coffee with an optional "avec," have been told by the district administration that this is no longer allowed due to their policy. The Centre Party believes this is patronizing and asks if the decision will be reconsidered, allowing seniors to once again enjoy a drink with their coffee.
Svante Linusson (C) proposed banning gas-powered vehicles, especially mopeds, from Stockholm's bike paths due to air pollution and health risks. Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) agreed about the problem but stated the municipality lacks the legal right to ban only gas-powered mopeds, as a total ban would push electric mopeds into car traffic, creating new hazards. Strömgren has instead contacted the Minister for Infrastructure to advocate for national legal changes that would allow for environmental zones or reclassification of mopeds, enabling the city to ban fossil-fueled vehicles from bike paths.
The Moderates questioned if Stockholm would spend tax money on a marketing campaign to encourage enrollment in municipal schools instead of focusing on teaching quality. Education Commissioner Emilia Bjuggren (S) responded that the education administration will not engage in whitewashing advertising but will provide targeted information during school choice to inform about information meetings. She emphasized the importance of communicating the offerings of municipal schools, such as facilities and licensed teachers, to help guardians make informed decisions.
Tom Hedrup (M) has questioned Housing Commissioner Deniz Butros (V) regarding the significant and growing debt of Stockholm's municipal housing companies (Stockholmshem, Familjebostäder, and Svenska Bostäder), which currently stands at approximately SEK 36 billion, incurring SEK 1 billion in annual interest. Hedrup specifically inquired about the projected debt development as these companies build 11,500 new homes over the next eight years, and how the Commissioner plans to reduce this indebtedness.
Councilman Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned Housing Commissioner Deniz Butros (V) on Stockholm's housing policy, arguing that its focus on multi-family homes and rental properties in villa areas, plus public housing expansion, clashes with resident desires and threatens green spaces. Paccamonti wants to know if the Commissioner will shift policy to better align with Stockholmers' preference for villas and protect the city's green areas.
This interpellation from Nike Örbrink (KD) concerns the city's stance on the Eastern Link, a planned tunnel intended to relieve inner-city traffic. The issue arises because Finance Commissioner Karin Wanngård (S) signed a letter of intent to build the link, but shortly thereafter another commissioner stated that Stockholm's left-wing administration rejects the project. Nike Örbrink now seeks clarity on whether the city will actively oppose the project, if necessary detailed development plans will be established, and if external parties can trust the signature of Stockholm's Finance Commissioner.
Per Rosencrantz (M) questions Stockholm's growing debt, nearing SEK 100 billion, particularly criticizing the proposal for Familjebostäder to borrow over a billion to acquire AB Hjulstahem. He argues that buying these 1,194 existing apartments creates no new housing or resident benefits, instead increasing city debt and risks. Rosencrantz asks what benefit the acquisition provides Stockholmers and when the Social Democrats plan to stop borrowing given rapidly rising interest rates.
A Moderate politician has questioned the traffic commissioner regarding the "traffic chaos" in southern Stockholm, particularly around Gullmarsplan, Hammarby, and Skansbron, caused by multiple simultaneous roadworks, leading to long queues and extended travel times. The commissioner responded that some disruptions are inevitable with urban development, that workplace safety sometimes necessitates measures like the Skansbron one-way system, and that the Traffic Office coordinates projects and places high demands on contractors, though some simultaneous projects are unavoidable. Capacity at Johanneshov traffic junction is expected to be fully restored by the end of 2025, and Skansbron will reopen in both directions from December 9, 2025; general traffic flow, emissions, and travel times are not always measured, but can be for specific cases.
Nike Örbrink (KD) questioned Finance Commissioner Karin Wanngård (S) regarding Stockholm's business climate, citing a significant drop in Svenskt Näringsliv's ranking and asking about plans to reverse this trend, improve procurement, and foster a vibrant business environment. Wanngård (S) disagreed with the assessment of a declining business climate, referencing other reports that portray Stockholm as attractive for businesses, while noting the city is addressing challenges through a new business policy, establishment strategy, initiatives like "one way in" for entrepreneurs, local business developers, and increased resources for building permits and procurements.
The Moderates raised concerns about traffic and safety issues at Hässelby Villastad school, where narrowed roads and altered staff parking rules have caused chaos during drop-off and pick-up. School Commissioner Emilia Bjuggren (S) responded that measures for a safer school environment, such as pedestrian and bicycle paths, were implemented in autumn 2025 and staff parking spaces have been restored. She also emphasized that numerous cars around schools are a general problem and urged parents to choose alternative transportation and show consideration in traffic whenever possible.
The Moderates have inquired about upgrading Spånga station due to an anticipated significant increase in passengers from new housing, also seeking improvements in safety and accessibility. Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren responded that Region Stockholm and the Swedish Transport Administration must first detail the station's capacity issues and potential bus terminal expansion before further planning. He emphasized the shared responsibility of the Transport Administration, Region Stockholm, and the City of Stockholm, noting that the city is collaborating with Region Stockholm to clarify funding for future expansions.
Nike Örbrink (Christian Democrats) questioned Elderly Care Commissioner Torun Boucher (Left Party) on how Stockholm will address the projected doubling of elderly residents by 2040 given the shortage of care homes. Örbrink criticized the limit of 13 new private care homes, arguing it places an unsustainable burden on the municipality due to its existing debt. Boucher responded that the city is taking a comprehensive approach by building its own facilities and improving planning to ensure long-term control and quality in elderly care, committing not to sell strategic properties for short-term financial gain.
Opposition politician Dennis Wedin (M) criticizes the upkeep of Hötorgshallen and Hötorget, describing them as rundown, and questions Housing and Real Estate Commissioner Clara Lindblom (V) on plans to support vendors and improve market trade, also lamenting the rejection of an outdoor seating proposal. Lindblom (V) counters that Hötorgshallen is thriving with increased visitors and sales, not a "problem child," but acknowledges maintenance needs and explains that comprehensive investigations are underway to clarify ownership responsibilities for the complex property while the city adapts market trade and aims for more cultural and evening activities, albeit at a pace dictated by the property's intricate structure.
The Moderates, led by Dennis Wedin, proposed reinstating the Water Festival in a modernized form, featuring drone shows and renewable energy-powered stages, to enhance Stockholm's vibrancy and highlight its unique waterfront. However, Finance Commissioner Karin Wanngård (S) countered that Stockholm already boasts a rich array of cultural and sporting events, preferring to evolve the city's cultural scene with contemporary and sustainable additions rather than revive the old festival.
Dennis Wedin (M) has questioned Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding increased market stall fees in Stockholm. Wedin argues that despite promises of lower fees for small-scale vendors in outer districts, selling goods will become more expensive at 32 of nearly 40 squares, including popular spots, claiming this ill-timed move harms small businesses and makes the city less vibrant. Strömgren responded that the fee hike is part of an overdue review, aiming to align fees with market attractiveness and commercial value since the system hadn't been updated since 2012, asserting the new model creates transparent pricing, fosters sustainable market trade, and remains a favorable option for small businesses compared to renting commercial premises.
Per Rosencrantz (M) questioned Social and Security Commissioner Alexander Ojanne (S) regarding increased insecurity in Hjorthagen, following the opening of a homeless shelter for individuals with substance abuse issues. Residents reported a rise in drug dealing, discarded needles near playgrounds, fights, and theft. Commissioner Ojanne responded that measures such as outreach workers, security guards, and increased cleaning have been implemented, along with the relocation of problematic individuals, leading to a reported decrease in issues within Hjorthagen.
Nike Örbrink (Christian Democrats) questioned City Planning Commissioner Jan Valeskog (Social Democrats) regarding a report proposing the addition of 287,000 rental apartments to Stockholm's villa areas, suggesting this might be forced mixing rather than anti-segregation work. She asked if villa owners contribute to segregation, if villa areas are problematic, if the city's vision differs from the report, and how garden cities will be preserved. Valeskog responded that Stockholm aims for mixed development to counter segregation, a goal the Christian Democrats also support, and that proposals are carefully reviewed, citing senior housing in villa areas as a desirable form of densification.
Per Rosencrantz (M) questioned Emilia Bjuggren (S), Commissioner for Education, Labor Market, and HR, about the Social Democrats' integration policy of "mixing the population" to combat segregation, asking how this would be implemented, if it meant densification of villa areas, and its impact on individual choice given high rents in new municipal housing. Bjuggren (S) responded that the policy aims for equal opportunities and to counteract segregation by addressing overcrowding and increasing housing construction, citing ongoing work in Järva and southern Stockholm with investments in schools, housing, and safety, and existing efforts to build townhouses in high-rise areas for mixed development.
Moderate Andréa Hedin questioned School Commissioner Emilia Bjuggren (S) regarding grading issues in Stockholm schools, specifically asking what measures are taken to protect teachers from undue influence from parents and school management and how parents are informed about grading rules. Hedin cited teacher reports of pressure to award higher grades and a survey showing nearly 60% had succumbed to such pressure. Bjuggren responded that pressure is unacceptable and school management must protect teachers, noting that schools have support materials for handling threats and influence, but the primary education department does not view this as a structural problem in Stockholm due to a lack of grade inflation, with parental information provided through meetings and principal letters.
Moderate council member Per Rosencrantz questioned City Commissioner Emilia Bjuggren (S) on rising long-term unemployment, especially among youth, since the Social Democrats took office, asking for the city's plan to reduce it, boost vocational training, support sectors employing low-skilled workers, and if municipal taxes align with employment goals. Bjuggren responded that the Social Democrats are investing over SEK 220 million in labor market policies, strengthening adult education and municipal employment, particularly for those far from the job market, noting successful collaborations with industries and a decrease in youth unemployment, particularly in focus areas, while defending tax increases as funding these job creation efforts.
The Bromma District Council has decided to lease land at Bergslagsvägen 49 and construct a pavilion there. This is to consolidate personnel, vehicles, and equipment for in-house maintenance of the city's parks and winter roads, aiming to increase control and quality in the upkeep of Bromma's green spaces and roads. The annual rent will be approximately SEK 645,000, with establishment costs of around SEK 3.9 million.
Opposition parties Moderaterna, Centerpartiet, and Liberalerna have submitted questions to the Education Administration regarding the decision to close Observatorielunden School and relocate its students to Vasa Real. They are seeking clarification on why the board was not informed about the altered and earlier timeline for the school's closure. The Education Administration acknowledges the communication breakdown and will implement clearer routines for informing and following up with the board, alongside a comprehensive communication plan for staff, students, and guardians developed in collaboration with union representatives.
The Liberal Party expresses concern about the difficulty Stockholm's upper secondary schools face in finding work-based learning (APL) placements and questions why the city's own operations accept students from other municipalities. The Education Administration replies that the responsibility for APL lies with the schools themselves, as they best understand their programs and have their own contacts. While the administration offers support when needed, they do not believe the shortage of APL placements is a significant problem for the majority of schools.
Two politicians from the Sweden Democrats have asked the education board how they handle school employees who have behaved inappropriately or committed crimes, and are then bought out instead of being held accountable. They wonder how such individuals are prevented from being rehired and how children are protected. The Education Administration responds that they always follow laws and procedures, report crimes to the police, and that principals receive support in difficult cases. They also state that information about former employees' unsuitability cannot be retained after employment ends, but that reference checks and background checks are used during new hirings to minimize the risk of unsuitable staff returning to schools.
Proponents Claes Nyberg and Ismail Ali (Centre Party) propose that Stockholm should collaborate with non-profit organizations to offer homework assistance in overcrowded and socioeconomically disadvantaged areas, and that the city should provide premises for this on evenings and weekends. The Education Administration agrees with the need for homework help but believes the school already has responsibility for this and advises against this type of cooperation, as they feel homework help should be provided within the school's framework. The administration mentions that schools can apply for state grants for homework assistance in collaboration with non-profit organizations.
Stockholm City has developed a preschool child health program. The program aims to ensure all children aged 1-6, regardless of background or location, have access to a safe and health-promoting environment. The goal is to reduce disparities in children's living conditions and promote their physical, mental, and social well-being through preventative and inclusive measures, while also improving collaboration between different services that interact with children.
The Education Committee has produced a report on student safety, study environment, student health, and absence in Stockholm's schools during the academic year 2025-26. The report indicates that approximately 90 percent of primary school students and 94 percent of upper secondary students feel safe at school, though fewer dare to ask questions when they don't understand something during lessons, particularly girls in higher grades. The Education Administration will continue to invest in strengthening student health services, including by increasing the number of psychologists in schools and improving work on attendance and special support.
The Education Committee has approved new guidelines to counter corruption within Stockholm's schools and administration. These guidelines clarify rules for educational meals, accepting gifts from students and parents (gifts should generally not be accepted, but minor gifts for occasions like school graduations are permissible if no return favor is expected), and conflict of interest in recruitment and other decisions. The Director of Education will establish specific monetary limits for representation and gifts.
This matter concerns the Education Committee reporting on a series of internal delegation decisions and received documents. Among other things, they have considered a proposal from Stockholm Water and Waste regarding new rules for waste management in the municipality. The Education Administration assesses that the new rules will have a very minor impact on schools, but if a school is affected, the administration will assist in finding a solution. Another decision means that the Director of Education is re-delegating decision-making authority to lower levels within the administration.
The Municipal Executive Committee's Finance and Security Committee has approved the Education Committee's application to adapt Blackeberg School in Bromma, at a cost of 59.7 million SEK and an annual rent of 4.7 million SEK. This includes new toilets, entrance, and elevator, as well as more staff workstations. The school will be fully evacuated to Sankt Jacobi in Vällingby for two years during construction, starting August 2028.
The Södermalm Pensioners' Council held its first meeting of 2026. Among other topics, the council discussed the need for various housing options for seniors and expressed concern that the senior perspective is missing from the new library plan. They also appointed contact persons for healthcare and care facilities and discussed safety issues for seniors, such as fraud and inappropriate staff within elderly care.
This is a protocol from the Management Group's meeting on January 12, 2026. The meeting addressed internal administrative matters such as union information, work environment issues, and the follow-up of operations and budget. Among other things, a new planned group home for social psychiatry with occupancy in 2029 was discussed, as well as the importance of documenting experiences during operational transitions.
The Södermalm District Council is reviewing an application from Improstudion at Blekingegatan 28A for a new alcohol serving permit. The administration proposes granting the application, allowing the restaurant to serve alcohol on Thursdays through Sundays between 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM. This decision is based on a social assessment and indicates that the district council sees no obstacles to the permit.
The Södermalm District Committee has decided to approve Restaurant Slussporten's application for a serving license. This means the restaurant at Slussplan 6 can serve alcohol to the public both indoors and on its outdoor seating area daily between 11:00 AM and 1:00 AM. They can also serve alcohol to private parties indoors until 3:00 AM.
The Södermalm District Committee has approved an application for a liquor license for the restaurant Korvbyrån at Vartoftagatan 49. This means Korvbyrån can serve alcohol in its restaurant Monday to Sunday from 11:00 AM to 1:00 AM, and on its outdoor seating area Monday to Sunday from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. The administration assessed that there are no obstacles from a social or preventive perspective.
The Södermalm District Council has approved an application for a serving license for the restaurant Göta Bistro, located at Götgatan 58. This means Göta Bistro is permitted to serve alcohol to the public Monday through Sunday between 11:00 AM and 1:00 AM. The administration has assessed the application from a social and preventative perspective and found no obstacles to granting the license.
A citizen proposed widening the driveway to Norra Bysistäppan in Södermalm, as well as widening the planting area under the balconies and moving the railing outward, to prevent vehicles from hitting balconies. The Södermalm district administration responded that the risk of collisions has decreased as the park renovation is complete and no construction vehicles are needed. The administration believes widening the driveway would be too costly and negatively impact the park's cultural-historical value, but will prune bushes to clear the railing.
A resident proposed organizing more flea markets and clothing swap events in Hammarby Sjöstad, especially during winter, to reduce clothing consumption and promote environmental well-being. Södermalm District Administration is supportive of the idea but lacks large indoor venues, and will investigate indoor space options in 2026. The proposal will be forwarded to the Education and Sports Administrations, as they manage schools and sports halls that could potentially be used.
A resident proposed building an outdoor gym with adjustable weights, specifically an Omnigym, in Tengdahlsparken on Södermalm. The district administration is positive about this idea, as it promotes health and is free. However, they will wait for a larger renovation of Tengdahlsparken, already planned by the Exploitation Office in connection with new housing, before potentially constructing the outdoor gym.
In December 2025, the Södermalm District Committee received nine citizen proposals. These included requests to renovate Södermalmsallén, establish mobile bicycle workshops, create a Roma cultural center at Tantogatan, ban cycling at Årstaviken, prohibit the e-scooter rental company Lime, transform Götgatan into a pedestrian street, limit bridge openings, and set up a municipal car-sharing service. The district administration proposes that some proposals be processed internally, while others will be forwarded to the traffic committee for further action.
The City of Stockholm plans to build a new group housing facility with 13 apartments for individuals with disabilities in Södermalm, at the property Svärdet 8 (Rosenlundsgatan 44). Micasa Fastigheter will renovate an existing building, with the housing expected to be completed in 2028. This initiative aims to reduce the shortage of housing for this group, and staff will be available around the clock.
This record concerns the steering group meeting for "Skärholmen together," an initiative aimed at engaging children and young people in Skärholmen. Discussions at the meeting included premises for the activities, planning for holiday programs like Winter Camp and Christmas break activities, and collaborations with sports clubs and schools. The goal is to offer meaningful activities and support local organizations in the area.
The Skärholmen Youth Council has met and discussed several important issues for young people in the district. The main focus is on increasing safety, especially for girls, and creating more jobs for young people. The council also plans to engage in work related to the Youth Clinic and the new Social Services Act, among other initiatives.
The Skärholmen Pensioner's Council met and discussed, among other things, a food strategy for elderly care across Stockholm. The council also raised concerns about snow removal in Skärholmen and the importance of an elderly perspective in official statements. Additionally, activities for spring 2026 were planned, information about elderly care was provided, and meeting times for the entire year were set.
The Skärholmen district administration presents a list of current assignments from the district council. These include ensuring all schools focus on inclusion, reinstating the 127 Festival, implementing measures for safer traffic in Skärholmsgången, and planting wildflowers in Bredäng. Additionally, a hobbyhorse cross-country course at Sätra Riding Facility is being discussed, along with expanding the disc golf course in Sätraskogen to 18 holes.
The Inspectorate of Healthcare and Welfare (IVO) has reviewed the Skärholmen district administration and found deficiencies in their handling of cases concerning children and youth, particularly regarding checks before placements, processing of welfare concerns, and self-monitoring. The administration partially acknowledges the shortcomings but states that several measures were already implemented during 2025, including reorganization and stricter procedures. They plan further improvements in 2026 to ensure lawful and high-quality handling for children and youth.
The Skärholmen district administration has approved a permit application to build a new, gas-insulated substation in the Sätra industrial area, near the properties Sätra 2:1 and Bredäng 1:2. Owned by Svenska Kraftnät, this substation is part of a larger initiative to secure and improve the electricity supply for the Stockholm region in the future. The city planning office requested feedback on this matter, and the Skärholmen district administration has no objections.
The Skärholmen District Council proposes investing in the renovation of two parks in the area. Park playground Kulan in Sätra will receive SEK 12 million between 2027-2029 for, among other things, renewing climbing equipment, swings, and a multi-sport area. Park playground Ängen in Bredäng, which will receive SEK 11 million after 2029, will also be renovated with swings, climbing equipment, and a new skate park. The aim is to create safer and more attractive green spaces for all residents, especially children and young people.
Stockholm City plans to implement a new child health program for preschool children aged 1-6, as well as children under one attending open preschools. The program aims to reduce disparities in children's living conditions and promote their physical, mental, and social well-being through preventative, supportive, and inclusive practices in all preschools. Skärholmen district administration supports the program but requests clearer definitions for special support in preschool and that all children attending open preschool, regardless of age, be included.
A resident has proposed that Stockholm City should install a municipal boundary sign earlier along the E4 highway, at Skärholmen district, when driving into Stockholm from Södertälje. Currently, the sign is located at Fruängen, which excludes Skärholmen. The citizen proposal requests that the district council decide on a new sign on the left side of the road where the municipal boundary begins.
A resident has proposed expanding the disc golf course in Sätraskogen, ideally to 18 holes. This would create more opportunities for residents to engage in the sport and enhance recreational possibilities in the area.
A resident proposed installing a notice board for community associations at the Vårberg Stairs in Vårberg, near the subway. The aim is to highlight local community life and activities, thereby increasing resident engagement and safety in Skärholmen. The district administration is positive towards the proposal and will investigate the possibilities of mounting such a board at the suggested location.
A resident proposed that Stockholm City and the Skärholmen district administration should ban begging near ATMs, citing feelings of discomfort and insecurity when withdrawing money. The proposal suggests such a ban would increase safety without infringing on individual rights, and should be developed in consultation with social services and civil society.
The Skarpnäck Pensioners' Council discussed home care services during challenging road conditions and how support was provided, requesting a more thorough review of home care operations this spring. They also raised concerns about snow removal, plan a public dialogue on environment and climate, and wish to discuss safety and security with the district director and security coordinator.
This matter concerns the formal reporting of minutes and memoranda from the Skarpnäck City District Administration's management group meeting on January 15, 2026. The minutes, which cover ongoing administration and collaboration within the administration, have been digitally adjusted by several trade unions.
This is a list of incoming and outgoing matters for the Skarpnäck District Council. Citizen proposals include a request for an outdoor gym near the Tråget playground in Bagarmossen (the initial proposal concerned land owned by SISAB, but the citizen is open to another nearby location) and a book exchange shelf under the subway bridge at Willy Brandt's Park (this proposal will be forwarded to the Traffic Administration).
The Skarpnäck District Council has received two citizen proposals: one for a new, accessible 200 sqm skateboard ramp between Skarpnäck and Bagarmossen, and another for an outdoor gym or play area near Tråget playground in Bagarmossen, on the former site of Vitsippan preschool. The Council will investigate both proposals, including potential locations, and invite the citizens to future meetings to discuss their suggestions.
Opposition parties in Skarpnäck questioned the municipality about the Brödkaveln and Skarpaby playground programs and After School activities, asking about visitor numbers, opening hours, and staffing from January 2022 to June 2025. The administration responded that they lack complete statistics for the entire period but plan to develop better visitor tracking in the future. They also clarified that playgrounds are typically staffed by recreation center personnel during school terms and volunteer associations during holidays, while After School is run by recreation center staff.
Opposition parties in Skarpnäck questioned the district administration's work with summer jobs for youth, particularly regarding introduction, supervision, and meaningful tasks, following a report suggesting municipal summer jobs might lead to poorer wage development. The administration responded by stating they have clear routines for introduction, assign a supervisor at each workplace, and ensure meaningful tasks, emphasizing that these jobs provide important work experience and contribute to social sustainability, with 95 percent of Skarpnäck's youth expressing satisfaction.
This is a formal notification of the minutes from a meeting of the Norra Innerstaden administrative group on January 14, 2026. The meeting addressed internal operational matters such as work environment training for managers and union representatives, planning for activity reports, and a question regarding inconvenience compensation and how a new business development role will be coordinated. No decisions directly impacting residents of Norra Innerstaden were made.
The Northern Inner City Pensioners' Council has addressed key issues for seniors, including the housing shortage, urban accessibility, and the need for community spaces. They advocate for on-site meal preparation in care homes, seniors eating lunch at school cafeterias, fall prevention, and support for individuals with dementia.
This matter concerns formally registering all documents received and created by the Norra innerstaden District Administration between November 27, 2025, and January 7, 2026. This is a routine account of the administration's work during this period, primarily serving public transparency and having no direct impact on residents.
This matter concerns the Northern Inner City District Council being informed of decisions made by their officials during a specific period. These decisions include matters such as preschool placements (exceptions for extended absence, increased hours, or continued placement upon relocation), opinions on serving permits for several restaurants, and building permit referrals, for instance, for a new toilet building in Humlegården and changing the use of offices to a preschool at Majtalaren 12.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes Stockholm implement a strategy for Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS), where private entities own and manage public areas like squares or green spaces as a complement to city-owned spaces. The administration welcomes initiatives for more accessible and greener areas but raises concerns about the city losing influence and commercial interests dictating design, instead advocating for collaborative development between the city and private actors.
The Northern Inner City District Committee is proposed to grant 19 named officials the right to request police assistance for involuntary care of young people (LVU) or placing children in sheltered housing. This enables quicker decisions in acute situations. The decision is indefinite and applies personally to the designated officials.
The Norra innerstaden district council has developed an activity plan and budget for 2026, outlining how it will work towards the city council's goals for an equitable, green, and economically sustainable Stockholm. The plan includes specific budget adjustments, such as SEK 0.5 million for cloudburst reservoirs in Humlegården and SEK 2 million for safety measures at Sergels torg. Additionally, it addresses trade union demands, with some, like the provision of menstrual products in restrooms, being rejected on the grounds that they are not covered in the budget proposal.
A citizen suggested that the City of Stockholm offer courses for seniors on using digital tools like Bank-ID and apps, and on protecting against online fraud, arguing that courses are more accessible than home visits and can increase safety. The Norra innerstaden District Council responded that the administration already extensively supports seniors with digital usage through courses, lectures, drop-in sessions, and individual support at senior meeting points, via phone, and through home visits.
A citizen proposed creating a community center, youth club, or makerspace for older children in Norra Djurgårdsstaden, citing a need for social and creative outlets, a neighborhood gathering point, and a winter location for scouts. The administration has since strengthened cooperation with Bobergsskolan, launched mobile youth activities, and is exploring options for a permanent youth facility. Non-profit organizations, like the scouts, can rent space affordably at Folkkulturcentrum on Artemisgatan 19 in Hjorthagen.
The Norra innerstaden district council will address two citizen proposals. One aims to improve street lighting and winter maintenance on the staircase between Valhallavägen and Körsbärsvägen, enhancing safety and accessibility for residents, students, and seniors. The second suggests a service allowing elderly living alone to daily confirm they are alive without speaking to anyone, ensuring contact and a visit if they fail to check in, providing security for them and their pets.
The District Director reported that the Vasaträffen senior center was open daily over Christmas and New Year 2025/2026, which was highly appreciated by many visitors and demonstrated its important role in providing community and security. Additionally, two preschools are scheduled to move in spring 2026: Freja preschool will be temporarily relocated due to a pipe replacement, and the open preschool Vasastan will permanently move to Tre Liljor 7.
This is a meeting protocol from the management group at Kungsholmen's City District Administration. They discussed several internal matters concerning the administration's operations, including the reorganization of information security, the closing of the Skolplattformen system and its replacement with Informentor, as well as the procurement of park operations and union issues regarding salaries and working environment. The meeting primarily addressed administrative matters for the administration.
The Kungsholmen Pensioners' Council met to discuss the 2026 elder care operational plan, among other topics. They were also informed about the evacuation of Alströmerhemmet and the phasing out of Fridhemmet service housing. Furthermore, the council criticized poor snow removal on pedestrian and bicycle paths during the winter.
The Kungsholmen District Administration has reviewed restaurant Ban Yan's application for an alcohol serving license. They find no risk of social problems or other inconveniences, and therefore have no objections to Ban Yan, a family-friendly Indian restaurant at Hantverkargatan 84, receiving a license to serve alcohol Monday-Sunday from 11:00 to 21:00.
Two Liberal municipal politicians propose Stockholm join the "Pact of Free Cities" network to demonstrate the city's commitment to freedom, humanism, and democracy internationally. While Stockholm already actively works with human rights and Agenda 2030, the Kungsholmen District Administration sees no impediment to investigating the proposal, despite unclear membership requirements and costs.
The Liberals propose Stockholm investigate an UppSam-like model from Uppsala to improve school support for children in foster care, whose schooling is often inadequate. However, the Kungsholmen district administration believes Stockholm already has two established models (SkolFam and school coordinators) for this and adding another wouldn't benefit the children. The administration is open to evaluating and developing current models and drawing inspiration from others.
The City of Stockholm has developed a program for child health in preschools, aiming to reduce disparities in children's living conditions and promote their physical, mental, and social well-being between ages 1 and 6. The Kungsholmen District Council supports the program but believes it should be more directive regarding special educators in each district and clearer on collaboration between preschools, social services, schools, and the region.
The Sweden Democrats in Kungsholmen queried the district council on increasing activities for the elderly, along with new benches and plantings in parks, emphasizing their importance for well-being and combating isolation. The district administration responded that they are already working to create safe and accessible parks for everyone, including the elderly, by reviewing lighting, snow removal, and maintenance, and aiming to offer places for cooling and rest. They believe Kungsholmen's parks and promenades already provide good conditions for an active life for the elderly and intend to preserve these existing qualities.
The Liberals, Moderates, and Christian Democrats on Kungsholmen queried the district administration regarding the use of digital tools and screen time in preschools, especially for young children. The administration responded that no specific mapping is planned, but educators inform parents about digital tool usage, emphasizing that teaching for the youngest is primarily play-based and physical. Furthermore, a curriculum change from 2025 will remove the requirement for digital learning tools in favor of analog ones.
The Centre Party on Kungsholmen requested clearer reporting, preferably with diagrams, on patient safety in elderly care to combat inequality and improve quality. The district administration responded that they already use a national template but will explore adding more diagrams, aiming for the 2025 patient safety report, due March 1, 2026, to be clearer and easier to compare across different operations.
The Kungsholmen District Council proposes renovating the kitchen at Bolinders plan 1 for approximately SEK 8 million. This is necessary because Frida's restaurant, which currently prepares around 400 meals daily for elderly care, must relocate temporarily from 2027 to 2030 due to property renovations. The Bolinders kitchen upgrade would increase its cooking capacity to 350-400 portions daily, ensuring meal provision and potentially reducing reliance on external suppliers in the future.
The Kungsholmen District Council has approved its activity plan and budget for 2026, totaling SEK 1,584.2 million for operations and SEK 17.7 million for investments. This plan aims to ensure a sustainable economy, strengthen welfare, and promote a green and fossil-free Stockholm, with proposed investments including biodiversity, water quality, waste sorting, park improvements, and upgrades to various recreational areas.
A citizen proposed building a pump track for bikes, skateboards, and kickbikes in Rålambshovsparken on Kungsholmen. The administration rejected the proposal, stating the park already has numerous activity areas and its open green spaces are needed for other uses. They also noted that the existing skatepark in Rålis already serves a similar purpose.
A citizen proposed extending the pier at Smedsuddsbadet on Kungsholmen to accommodate more swimmers and allow deeper water access. The District Administration understands the pier can get crowded but believes there's ample space on the sand beach and lawn. They will consider an extension during the pier's next renovation, but currently prioritize improving water quality and biodiversity at the swimming area.
Farsta's Pensioner Council addressed several key issues for the district's elderly, including the need for security hosts, improved snow removal, and fraud prevention, alongside the upcoming distribution of ice cleats to reduce fall risks. They also learned about a new elderly guide for health promotion and the introduction of the "Lifestyle for Brain Health" program to enhance senior well-being.
The Farsta City District Committee is considering an agreement with Region Stockholm to improve the transition of patients from hospitals to home care or residences. This involves the IT system Lifecare SP, aimed at making these transitions safer and quicker. Farsta City District Administration supports the agreement, which also stipulates that the Region will cover 81% and municipalities 19% of the system's operation and management costs from 2026-2030.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes Stockholm develop a strategy for privately-owned public spaces (POPS), such as squares and green areas, to ensure their accessibility and upkeep. The idea is for the city to offer increased building rights to property owners in exchange for creating and maintaining high-quality public spaces. The Farsta City District Administration agrees on the importance of safe and vibrant public environments, emphasizing that clear rules for responsibility are crucial to prevent neglected maintenance, as residents expect good quality regardless of ownership.
The Liberals proposed Stockholm investigate a model, similar to Uppsala's "UppSam," to improve school support for children in foster care. However, the Farsta City District Administration deemed such an investigation unnecessary, as Farsta already employs school coordinators with similar methods, and this support model is slated for city-wide implementation by 2026.
The Farsta District Council plans to procure new security hosts as the current agreement expires in November 2026. An internal evaluation showed these hosts are a valuable mobile resource that increases safety and contributes to crime prevention through patrols, reporting deficiencies, and more. This service, costing SEK 1.2 million annually and co-financed by Familjebostäder and Stockholmshem, will thus continue to be available to Farsta residents.
A citizen in Farsta proposed that the district council should combat violent extremism after Nazi propaganda and graffiti, including from the Northern Resistance Movement (NMR), appeared in public spaces in Farsta and at Martinskolan in Hökarängen. The citizen seeks measures such as prompt cleanup, police reports, improved cooperation, and training. The Farsta district administration has decided to accept the proposal for further investigation and preparation.
A citizen proposal has been submitted to the Farsta District Council requesting an outdoor gym with a child-friendly section at Sunneplan. The aim is to increase opportunities for free physical activity for everyone in the area, improve public health, and create a safer park environment. The administration has decided to accept the proposal for further investigation and preparation.
A citizen proposal suggests dividing the southern part of Olympiaplan in Farsta, dedicating half to meadow and restoring the other half to lawn.

Farsta City District Administration has decided to investigate the proposal further.
A 10-year-old citizen proposed improvements to Flygplansparken (also known as Nybygget) in Gubbängen, suggesting additions like an obstacle course or climbing wall to make the park more enjoyable for their age group. The Farsta City District Administration decided to forward the proposal to the department for further investigation.
A citizen has proposed converting the worn-out and unused football pitch at Rottnerosbacken in Farsta into a dog park, citing a need for an off-leash area. The Farsta City District Administration has decided to forward this citizen proposal to the relevant administration for further preparation.
Politicians Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) have proposed that Stockholm investigate implementing a model, similar to Uppsala's "UppSam," to improve educational support for children in foster care or institutions. The district administration agrees these children are a vulnerable group and states it is already addressing the issue by introducing school coordinators in all districts, with resources allocated for this in 2026.
A motion proposes Stockholm join the "Pact of Free Cities," an international network promoting freedom, democracy, and human rights. While the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration sees benefits in strengthening the city's democratic profile, they highlight potential costs and the risk of the city being forced to take stances on controversial issues, noting Stockholm already actively works with human rights through existing programs and networks.
A politician proposed permanently opening a northbound car lane on Skanstullsbron to alleviate traffic issues at Gullmarsplan caused by the Skansbron renovation, but the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration advises against it. They argue this would be an expensive solution to a temporary problem, hindering pedestrians and cyclists while contradicting the city's sustainability efforts.
The City of Stockholm has developed a child health program for its municipal preschools, aiming to ensure all children aged 1-6 have a safe, inclusive, and health-promoting environment, and to reduce disparities in their well-being. While the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council acknowledges the program's important elements, they believe it won't introduce new changes for local preschools, as these issues are already being addressed, and they had hoped for clearer proposals on working methods or direction.
The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council will appoint specific social services officials authorized to request assistance from the Police or Prison and Probation Service for 2026. This assistance, known as "handräckning," is crucial for swiftly implementing decisions regarding care or custody of young people under the LVU (Care of Young Persons Act). The aim is to ensure social services can act promptly to protect children and young people when necessary.
The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council has authorized specific officials to request assistance from the Police Authority. This measure, prompted by a new law effective April 2024, enables swift implementation of decisions regarding sheltered housing for children and their guardians, ensuring children in the district receive necessary protection.
Council members Emelie Wassermann and Simon Wiklund Lyons (SD) asked the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration about their efforts against illegal settlements, particularly at Cyklopen in Högdalen. The administration stated they follow city eviction procedures, involving police reports and contact with the Enforcement Authority, with three park engineers from the urban environment unit responsible for oversight. The estimated cost of addressing illegal settlements in the district was 1.6 million SEK between 2022-2024, though costs have decreased due to fewer settlements being discovered.
A citizen proposed that the noise reduction at Stureby School's playground, near Örbyleden, is inadequate, resulting in high noise levels and harmful particles. The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration stated that the Education Administration is responsible for the school's outdoor environment and the Sports Administration for the sports field. The matter has therefore been forwarded to these administrations, as noise levels on the sports field exceed 55 decibels according to a 2022 investigation.
A resident proposed adding more playground equipment for young children in Väständaparken, Årsta, after a previous suggestion for Sandfjärdsparken was declined. The district administration has now applied for safety funds to upgrade Sandfjärdsparken with new playground equipment, park furniture, and lighting, thus addressing the resident's original request. Väständaparken, conversely, is considered to have been recently developed and is not currently slated for new measures.
Bromma's Pensioner Council discussed several issues affecting seniors in the district at their January 14, 2026 meeting. Key concerns included dissatisfaction with land allocations in Smedslätten, emphasizing that new construction must adhere to the area's style, and inadequate snow removal hindering home care services. The council also requested more and better-placed park benches for accessibility and awaits responses regarding a home care index and collaboration with Region Stockholm for the most frail elderly.
This balance sheet presents the matters Bromma District Council plans to discuss and decide upon during 2026. It covers a wide variety of topics affecting Bromma residents, such as financial reports, citizen proposals for new playgrounds or sports facilities like an outdoor gym in Judarskogen, and issues concerning social services and elderly care.
Bromma City District Administration reports that the head of department made three decisions through delegation. One decision concerns a report to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection following an incident within social services that could affect individuals' privacy. Additional decisions involve referrals for a small allotment cottage at Ulvsunda 1:1 in Riksby and for excavation work at Åkerhielmsgatan 16, both of which could impact the local area.
The Bromma District Council has reviewed a list of incoming reports and minutes, including Stockholm City's joint statement on Region Stockholm's subway investigation for the Bromma Airport area. The city emphasizes the need for at least two stations with multiple exits to support urban development and accessibility, along with planning that covers both long-term subway solutions and temporary public transport.
The Liberals in Bromma requested more park benches, especially to help the elderly be active outdoors, and suggested a park bench strategy. Bromma City District Administration responded that they do not have a separate strategy for park benches but manage their placement continuously as part of their work on accessibility in parks and green spaces. They encourage residents to submit suggestions for specific bench locations via the "Tyck till" (Have Your Say) service.
The Centre Party inquired about the renovation of Annedalsparken, to which the Bromma district administration replied that the work is being carried out in phases. The first phase, including plant beds and benches along Ronja Rövardotter's path, is currently underway. The entire park is expected to be upgraded during 2026-2027 to create sustainable environments with improved lawns and playgrounds, though the final cost is not yet determined and will depend on allocated funds.
A citizen proposed transforming the neglected property at Alpvägen 19-23 into a green park for recreation and biodiversity, citing current issues with litter and insecurity. The Bromma District Council supports this, noting Stockholmshem already plans a park there, though construction is not expected to begin for 2-3 years after the zoning plan is approved, anticipated early 2026 at the earliest. In the interim, discussions will take place to ensure the area is maintained.
A citizen proposed more shops like hot dog stands, greengrocers, and second-hand stores in Annedal/Mariehäll to vitalize the area due to current poor offerings. Bromma City District Administration agrees with the need but notes their primary responsibility is childcare and elder care, not business matters. However, they will raise these wishes with other stakeholders and are already working to activate the area through initiatives like "House of Opportunities," Annedal Park renovation, and dialogue concerning Mariehäll Square.
A citizen proposed building a playground for younger children next to the Eneby pumptrack, citing high visitor numbers and available space. However, the Bromma City District Administration advises against this, stating the location is unsuitable for a permanent playground due to high noise from Bromma Airport's flight path and the lack of a detailed development plan.
A 13-year-old suggested building a skatepark in Olovslund to encourage outdoor activity among youth, offering specific location ideas. Bromma City District Council responded that there are no suitable sites in Olovslund for a large new skatepark due to space and noise concerns. However, the request will be included in future long-term planning, and in 2026, the possibility of adding smaller obstacles to existing skate facilities will be investigated.
Residents proposed installing eco-friendly lighting along Äppelviken's waterfront promenade, from Alviks Strand to Smedslätten, to make the popular path safer and more usable year-round. However, the Bromma district administration rejected the proposal, citing that the promenade's wooden structure cannot support installation or maintenance machinery, and that bringing electricity to the site is too expensive and complex.
Micasa Fastigheter is planning a major redevelopment of the Bygeln 5 property in Rågsved, which is strategically important for the city's development in the area. The first phase involves renovating existing service house premises to create new offices for the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration, accommodating approximately 460 employees, with occupancy expected in autumn 2028. This project ensures that the health center, child and maternal healthcare center, dentist, and chiropodist can remain in the building during the renovation.
Micasa Fastigheter and the Hägersten-Älvsjö district administration are planning an extensive renovation and conversion of building C at Fruängsgården 1. This will transform Fruängsgården's service house into a care home with 97 apartments, an increase of 48 places, to meet Stockholm's growing need for elderly care. The project is estimated to be completed between 2029-2031, with an annual rental cost of 31.8 million SEK.
The City Council plans to renovate and rebuild the property Trehörningen 1 in Gröndal, Hägersten-Älvsjö. Currently, it's Trekanten service house with 100 apartments, but after the planned reconstruction (2027-2030), it will become a nursing home with approximately 92 places to meet the increasing need for elderly care in the district. Residents of the current service house will be offered priority for other accommodations.
The City Audit has reviewed how Stockholm maintains its properties, largely approving Micasa Fastigheter's work on nursing homes. However, the audit recommends Micasa better connect identified maintenance needs with its budget for efficient resource allocation. Micasa has responded that they are systematically addressing maintenance and are implementing a new system to more clearly link maintenance plans to the budgeting process.
Micasa Fastigheter, responsible for care homes and senior housing in Stockholm, has presented its 2026 business plan and budget. The company will continue building 23 new care homes by 2040, with six starting or planned for 2026 in areas like Årsta and Bagarmossen. Additionally, 1500 new senior apartments are planned by 2040, partly through conversions and new builds, with 63 units in Årsta set for completion in 2028.

This report approves the City of Stockholm's financial monthly report for December 2025, which details the city's financial standing, including loans, investments, and guarantees. By the end of 2025, the city's external loans reached 84.7 billion SEK, an increase during the year, while liquidity remained strong at 20.1 billion SEK. Stockholm City maintains its high AAA credit rating due to sound cost control and anticipated tax revenues, ensuring favorable lending conditions, though loans are projected to continue rising in 2026 due to significant infrastructure, water and waste management, and housing investments.
In December 2025, the Stockholm City Council decided to transfer the property for the Slussen bus terminal (Södermalm 7:89) to Region Stockholm.

Furthermore, the city requests that new measures for drinking water quality, stemming from a revised EU directive, be highlighted regarding their impact and required resources.
The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm raise its electrification ambitions, investigate concrete measures to accelerate the pace, and allocate budget funds for this, arguing it's crucial for climate goals and air quality. However, the City Executive Board believes the existing Climate Action Plan 2030 already covers these measures and that electrification is well integrated, though it notes the Liberals' actions in government are reducing overall electrification incentives.
The City of Stockholm criticizes the government's proposed Swedish culture canon of 100 works, arguing that politicians should not dictate culture as it risks controlling cultural life and stifling new expressions. However, the Moderates and Sweden Democrats in Stockholm support a canon, believing it can strengthen education and community by highlighting influential works, and advocate for its digital accessibility.
Councillor Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed allowing seniors to bring and consume their own alcohol at municipal meeting places like Lusthuset Hornstull, aiming to "add a touch of gold to everyday life." The City Executive Board rejected the motion, citing current alcohol legislation which prohibits alcohol consumption where light beverages are sold, a key offering at these venues. However, a pilot project is underway at Lusthuset, permitting residents of the service house to drink their own alcohol when the meeting place is closed to the public.
Center Party members proposed that the City of Stockholm and Region Stockholm implement a joint routine to ensure all preschool children with autism receive equitable and coordinated support, based on the National Board of Health and Welfare's recommendations for early behavioral interventions. The City Executive Board, however, stated that similar collaboration agreements and ongoing initiatives already exist for children with special needs, and that the city is working to strengthen cooperation and develop new guidelines to enhance equality, while acknowledging the differing responsibilities of the preschool and regional healthcare, and the limitations regarding independent preschools.
Nike Örbrink (KD) proposes introducing more care animals, like dogs and cats, in Stockholm's nursing homes, citing their positive effects on residents' well-being, reducing loneliness and stress, especially for those with cognitive impairment. The City Executive Board and the Elderly Care Administration view the proposal positively and are already working to increase care animal presence, while noting challenges such as access to trained animals and handlers, and the need for clear hygiene and allergy routines.
The City of Stockholm has responded to a referral from the Ministry of Justice regarding the EU's Migration and Asylum Pact. The memorandum (Ds 2025:30) proposes how Swedish law should be adapted to new EU rules for asylum and migration. The proposals are not expected to entail new mandatory tasks or economic costs for municipalities, as the state is responsible for asylum reception.
The National Board of Health and Welfare proposes changes to its general guidelines to align them with the new Gy25 upper secondary school reform, effective July 1, 2025. This impacts education requirements for staff in elderly care and disability support, shifting from specific courses to subject levels and including a new vocational education for disability sector personnel.
The Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket) proposes new energy performance classification rules for all building owners, introducing a new top class, A0, for "zero-emission buildings."

A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed expanding Hammarbybacken with a new summit and raising the existing one, using excavated material from the subway expansion, to create more ski slopes and leisure activities year-round and boost Stockholm's event profile. The city rejected the motion, citing a lack of surplus excavation material, the area's value for nature and recreation, and the high cost and climate impact of such a development. While the Property Committee favored investigating the proposal and developing Lilla Sickla farm as a visitor destination, this counter-proposal was also rejected by the City Commissioner due to its impact on the Nacka Nature Reserve.
The European Commission proposes establishing a new European Competitiveness Fund (ECF) from 2028, designed to consolidate existing EU programs in research, innovation, digitalization, energy, climate, and security.

For residents, this means increased protection for vital digital services, though meeting these new security requirements may incur some costs for the municipality.
A letter has been submitted regarding the club and restaurant Trädgården at Skanstull. Jonas Naddebo (C) questions why the city terminated Trädgården's lease agreement before the building permit process was complete, especially since the city building committee approved a permanent permit. He also wonders why city administrations aren't coordinating better on the issue and if politicians support the termination.

Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed that Stockholm increase its efforts to install green roofs on new and existing properties, making them standard for new city-built constructions, inventorying and installing them on current municipal properties, and assisting private owners. While the Environmental Administration supports the intention, they suggest focusing on broader nature-based solutions rather than mandating green roofs as a universal standard, preferring site-specific measures, though they are positive about aiding private property owners.
The Liberals inquired about the City of Stockholm's efforts to combat organized crime in waste management, which contributes to environmental damage and high costs.
