February 2026

The Local Crime Prevention Council in Järva discussed the security situation, reporting general calm but issues with youth loitering, drugs, and shoplifting, particularly in Kista and Tensta. Keolis experienced disturbances like stone-throwing and laser attacks near Rinkeby and Tensta center, while the police are dialoguing with Kista businesses and actively working on crime prevention, especially concerning youth and drugs on Cervins väg.

The Järva City District Administration's Pensioner Council meeting on February 17, 2026, covered traffic safety at pedestrian crossings, where the council agreed with the administration's response. They also plan a safety walk in Tensta Centrum, Tisslingegången, and Gullingeparken on May 21, 2026, and were informed that the Municipal Board's Pensioner Council will host a politician hearing before the 2026 election to ask how politicians plan to improve the living conditions of pensioners in Stockholm.

The Järva District Administration discussed accessibility for people with disabilities at crosswalks in Järva. The council proposed longer green light times, lowered curbstones, audible traffic signals, and improved snow removal, among other measures. They also highlighted the importance of accessibility in the election process and cultural schools.

The Järva City District Committee acknowledged a list of decisions made by municipal officials. These included responses to consultations regarding a new public restroom and building permits in Akalla, an expanded cricket field at Igelsta Cultural Reserve, and events like the Persian Fire Festival and Iranian New Year celebrations at Husby Gård.

The Järva City District Council reported 37 decisions for social services (SoL) and support for the disabled (LSS) from Q4 2025 that could not be implemented within three months to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO); 23 of these are still awaiting implementation. The most common reasons are residents declining offers, lack of space, or complex needs, but the administration provides compensatory services while awaiting full implementation.

The Järva City District Administration has commented on a proposed roadmap for developing regional city centers, specifically Kista-Sollentuna-Häggvik. The administration finds the definitions of "cores," "nodes," and "parts" unclear, noting that Kista-Sollentuna-Häggvik currently lacks natural connections. They also question aspects of the proposal regarding higher education, cultural venues, business development, cross-connections, and the extension of Tvärbanan's Kista branch to Helenelund, asserting that the city cannot compromise on implementation requirements for these projects.

A resident proposed building a new dog park in Spånga, near Spångaån, to create a social space for dogs and their owners. The Järva District Council decided to task the administration with further investigating the proposal, explicitly including children's, disability, and gender equality perspectives in the review.

Residents submitted a citizen's proposal to develop a popular cultivation site in Spånga village, including the possibility for associations to rent a barn with kitchen and toilet, create water play for children, and establish wildflower meadows for biodiversity. The proposal also suggests options for in-ground cultivation, building bee hotels, and offering summer jobs for youth related to the garden. The Järva District Council has decided that the administration should investigate the proposal further.

Councillor Sara Svanström (L) proposes that Stockholm enhance safety at dangerous crossings, particularly for pedestrians and people with disabilities, by mapping and improving the riskiest spots with better lighting, clear markings, and raised crossings. The Järva District Council supports this, noting it aligns with ongoing work to map and address traffic safety deficiencies.

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has proposed legal adaptations to the EU's new packaging waste regulation, effective August 2026, aiming to reduce waste and boost recycling. Järva District Council supports these proposals but seeks greater clarity on the division of responsibility for packaging waste collection between producers and municipalities, particularly in public spaces and mixed-use properties.

Annika Elmlund (M) and Johan Nilsson (M) propose increasing the number of "pocket parks" and green walls in Stockholm to enhance well-being, safety, and community. While the Järva District Administration is positive about creating more pocket parks and is already working on this, they note that green walls are expensive to install and maintain. However, the administration has a pilot project with mobile plant supports and has identified areas to transform paved surfaces into green spaces.

Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) propose expanding Stockholm's crime and insecurity efforts beyond Järva to other vulnerable areas like Bredäng, Hagsätra, and Skärholmen, advocating for a "District Boost" action plan with clear goals for safety and public services. However, the Järva District Administration believes a new plan is unnecessary due to existing crime prevention programs and fears diluting focus and resources by spreading them too thinly beyond Järva and Skärholmen.

The City of Stockholm proposes a revised food strategy, "Good food for health, climate, and environment," to promote healthy eating, reduce climate impact, and strengthen food preparedness. The Järva district council supports the proposal but requests clearer guidelines for responsibility, implementation, and a central coordination function. The strategy includes goals such as at least 70% organic food and a 40% reduction in climate impact from procured food by 2030, along with annual measurement of food waste in the city's preschools, schools, elderly care, and social services.

The Järva City District Committee decided to authorize certain social services officers to request police assistance for implementing compulsory care for substance abusers (LVM) and minors (LVU), as well as for executing decisions to place children in protected housing. This measure ensures that necessary interventions can be carried out, for instance, if a guardian opposes a decision for a child to enter protected housing, and updates previous delegations for these officers.

Patrick Amofah (C) criticized the Tensta municipal office for being closed for over 40 days due to vandalism, impacting access to municipal services. The administration explained that the damage was extensive and repair times were prolonged because the vandalism occurred just before Christmas. Although the reception has been closed, other services have remained available, and the administration expects the reception to reopen within a few weeks.

Åsa Nilsson Söderström (L) inquired about the use of allocated funds for Järva's preschools, noting that despite extra money, the area didn't appear to have more preschool teachers or smaller groups than others. The administration responded that socio-economic funds were used to strengthen Järva's preschools, including hiring more educators, creating language-rich learning environments, and establishing substitute pools for increased stability. They assert Järva now has the highest proportion of preschool teachers in the urban area (41.5%) and all staffing and group size targets have been met or exceeded, even if some personnel aren't always reflected in official statistics.

Ole-Jörgen Persson (M) has highlighted that the Islamist group Hizb-ut-Tahrir is spreading its message on the city's notice boards in Järva, which he believes violates democratic values, proposing a ban and stricter rules for such organizations. The Järva District Administration agrees it's problematic but finds a ban impractical to implement and resource-intensive for follow-up. They suggest clarifying information on the city's website about the notice boards, stating that offensive, anti-democratic, or violent messages are not permitted, and providing a contact point for residents who spot such content.

Åsa Nilsson Söderström (L) inquired with the Järva District Council about the progress of children in care towards gymnasium eligibility and the interventions in place. The administration reports an increase in eligible children in foster homes, nearing the target, but notes lower results for children in institutional care. They state that initiatives like school coordinators and SkolFam have had a positive impact, yet challenges remain to ensure all children succeed in school.

The Järva District Council has presented its 2025 financial statement and operations report, showing it met almost all goals and achieved a surplus of 23.3 million SEK due to lower social welfare costs and increased grants for new arrivals. However, the objective of increased safety through preventative measures was not achieved. The Council requests reallocating 6.3 million SEK to exercise tracks in Tensta-Rinkebydalen to improve safety and 0.3 million SEK to community gardens for biodiversity.

The application for a grant for open meeting places for seniors in the district for the year 2026 has been withdrawn and will not be processed.

This item lists the Service Committee's delegation decisions from December 2025 to February 2026. These internal decisions cover hiring managers for procurement and operations support, purchasing licenses for legal services and rent analysis systems, and applying for EU grants. It also includes the procurement of advertising brokerage services, HR consultants, system support for recruitment tests, coffee machine consumables, office furniture, and food for the emergency stock.

The meeting minutes from January 20th and February 17th, 2026, primarily concern internal reorganizations within the Service Administration. Discussions focused on changes to the Local Planning, Recruitment, and DIT departments to better meet demand and improve the work environment, including establishing new units and recruiting managers. Additionally, the 2025 annual report, procurement of new system support, and plans for competence development and work environment measures were addressed.

The Service Committee met, opening the meeting and approving the agenda. They also selected certifiers for today's minutes and added various reports and protocols from previous meetings to the documents. The Head of Administration informed about ongoing work with operational plans and year-end accounts, and that employees will receive Christmas fika instead of a Christmas dinner this year.

This document outlines the 2026 operational plan for the Service Board's recruitment department, aiming to streamline the city's administrative functions and ensure economic stability. The plan focuses on delivering quality-assured recruitment services to preschools, schools, social services, and elder care, while also reducing prices by 1.0 percent through efficiency improvements.

The City Executive Board has referred an action plan for an age-friendly city to the Service Board. This plan aims to ensure older individuals have equal rights and opportunities for societal participation. The Service Board, via Contact Center Stockholm and "Äldre direkt," supports the plan but emphasizes the need for increased resources to handle higher caseloads and develop digital solutions for feedback collection and improved accessibility for seniors.

The City of Stockholm plans to implement a new "food program" to improve the city's food and meals from a health, climate, and preparedness perspective, affecting all city operations including schools and eldercare, and aiming to reduce climate impact from food by 40% by 2030 and decrease meat consumption. While the Service Department welcomes the program, it requests clarifications regarding concepts, goals, and its connection to existing procurement systems.

The Service Committee has decided to procure a new case management system, a crucial tool for the Service Department to fulfill its duties, as the current contract expires in 2027. This procurement, estimated to cost up to 35 million SEK over ten years, will be conducted via a negotiated procedure.

The Service Committee has approved its annual report and financial statements for 2025, showing a surplus of 3.2 million SEK which the committee wishes to transfer to a fund for 2026. Efforts focused on developing the city's administrative functions, procurement, finance, and digitalization, alongside strengthening Stockholm's preparedness capabilities.

Stockholm's municipal primary and upper secondary schools will soon receive new sports equipment, including balls and items for athletics and gymnastics. The current contract expires in February 2026, necessitating a new procurement process. The Director of Education is now assigned responsibility for all decisions related to this procurement, which is estimated to cost approximately 4 million SEK annually.

Liberal councillor Jan Jönsson inquired about how Stockholm schools restrict social media access on iPads and other digital devices during school hours, and any plans for improvement. While technical solutions to block social media during school are currently lacking, tests have indicated no technical obstacles. The Education Administration plans to implement blocking features in 2026 across all digital devices, which may also offer protection against harmful content.

The Liberal Party, represented by Jan Jönsson and others, asked the Education Committee about how Stockholm schools are working to counteract extremist clubs and far-right recruitment among young people. The Education Administration responded that they actively work against hate and violence by, among other things, providing schools with guidance on symbols and recruitment methods, and ensuring school premises are not rented out to extremist groups. Additionally, staff are offered skills development initiatives to identify and manage risk behaviors in students.

Andréa Hedin (M) proposed that Stockholm develop an AI strategy for primary and secondary schools, including a professional development plan for teachers. The Education Administration is positive about the idea, but notes that extensive work is already underway to develop guidelines, approve AI tools, and offer courses for school staff to ensure safe and ethical AI use in education.

The Liberal party proposed that Stockholm City implement a model, similar to UppSam in Uppsala, to better coordinate and strengthen schooling for children in care, including those from other municipalities. The aim is to provide these vulnerable children with more stable schooling. The Education Administration responded that the city already has similar cooperation between social services and schools (the SAMS model) and has introduced school coordinators. The administration is already investigating internally whether parts of the UppSam model can be used in Stockholm and believes the current work with school coordinators should be allowed to establish itself before further large development projects are initiated.

A motion proposes that Stockholm introduce "SAO jobs" (study-motivating work-life orientation) as a new model to help young people enter the labor market. The proposal suggests converting 1,000 existing summer jobs into these SAO jobs, which are a form of year-round employment where young people work part-time alongside their studies, focusing on meaningful tasks and collaboration with the business sector. While the Education Administration agrees on the importance of young people accessing the labor market, they reject converting summer jobs to SAO jobs because they target different age groups (SAO jobs for 8th graders and summer jobs for high school students). However, the Administration notes that a budget mandate already exists for 2026 to pilot the SAO job model in specific focus areas, in collaboration with Stockholm Business Region AB and district administrations.

The Education Committee will comment on a new proposal for Stockholm City's Food Program, which replaces the existing food strategy. The program aims to improve health, the environment, and food preparedness by, among other things, increasing the proportion of organic food to 70 percent and reducing meat consumption in schools. The committee is largely positive but emphasizes that the School Act's requirements for nutritious meals must be met and that a new food procurement agreement is needed to achieve these ambitious goals.

The City Executive Board has developed an action plan for an "age-friendly city," aiming to ensure older citizens have a good life with favorable conditions in Stockholm. While the Education Administration supports the plan, they object to being required to set their own goals and follow-up, as older adults are not their primary target group. They suggest that the requirement to formulate specific activities should only apply to boards and companies directly involved with elderly affairs. The action plan focuses on five areas: participation, collaboration, social inclusion, housing/urban environment, and communication.

The Education Committee will no longer build a new primary school in the Slakthusområdet in Johanneshov. This is because the city's population forecast shows a decrease in school-aged children, and there will be sufficient school places in the area until 2034. The 2021 decision to build the school has therefore been withdrawn, though it's not ruled out that a school might be needed after 2045, and a school at Årstafältet could be built sooner.

The Education Committee presents its 2025 activity report, which indicates a balanced budget and positive development in upper secondary schools, including high student safety. However, not all goals were met regarding primary school student performance and the proportion of organic food in school meals needs improvement. The committee will continue its work to increase school equity, strengthen student health services, and reduce schools' climate impact, including investing in more sustainable school meals and staff professional development.

The Education Administration has provided feedback on the Environment Administration's proposed new recommendations for artificial turf, rubber granules, and poured rubber, aimed at reducing the spread of microplastics and harmful substances. While positive towards the proposal, the Administration wishes to clarify the operational and maintenance costs of alternative materials and emphasize the importance of involving children and young people in discussions about the design of outdoor environments. These new recommendations aim to phase out artificial turf with plastic granules by 2031 and gradually phase out poured rubber, focusing on the use of environmentally friendly alternatives like sand and grass in schoolyards and playgrounds while maintaining safety and accessibility.

The Municipal Council has approved a new action plan for the municipality's activity responsibility (KAA) in Stockholm for 2025–2027, aiming to support young people under 20 who have not completed upper secondary education to start or resume studies, or find employment. Additionally, a new school library plan for Stockholm's preschools and schools has been approved, emphasizing equal access for all children and pupils to excellent libraries with diverse collections and dedicated staff.

The Södermalm District Council will select Carin Hellström (Green Party) as a new member of its social delegation. This by-election is being held because a previous member from the Green Party has resigned, leaving a vacancy.

The Södermalm district administration discussed sick leave and work environment issues, noting low sick leave rates but union concerns about referring cases to occupational health services. A significant portion of the meeting focused on elderly care, revealing a surplus of 52 million SEK for 2025, yet 164 million SEK was reallocated away from elderly care before 2026. Unions criticized this reallocation, demanding increased investment in elderly care, including more staff and higher salaries.

The Södermalm District Council's Senior Citizens' Council has reviewed minutes and information from the Urban Environment Unit regarding their plans for the maintenance and development of parks and green spaces in Södermalm. The plan for 2026 aims to increase the number of trees, improve cleaning, climate-adapt green areas, and make parks safer and more accessible for all ages, with a particular focus on seniors and children.

The Södermalm District Committee will decide on an application from the restaurant Kajsas på Kajen, located at Tegelviksgatan 68, to serve alcohol at its outdoor seating area daily from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The administration recommends approving the application, as they see no preventative social concerns.

The Södermalm District Council has decided to approve Falafelbaren's application for an alcohol serving license. This means the restaurant at Hornsgatan 39B can serve alcohol indoors from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM and on its outdoor seating area from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, seven days a week. The decision was made based on a social and preventative assessment, finding no obstacles to granting the license.

The Södermalm district committee is reviewing an application for an alcohol serving license for the restaurant Casa Hallmans at Timmermansgatan 20. The administration proposes that the application be granted, which means the restaurant will be permitted to serve alcohol to the public Monday through Sunday between 11:00 AM and midnight.

The Liberal Party proposes more summer pedestrian streets and squares to create a livelier and more attractive urban environment in Stockholm, benefiting local businesses, pedestrians, and cyclists. The Södermalm district administration supports this but emphasizes the need for early involvement in planning, especially concerning greenery and waste management, while ensuring public transport accessibility and dialogue with residents and businesses.

The motion proponents, Annika Elmlund and Christoffer Hökmark (M), propose that Stockholm should introduce so-called "safety kiosks" to enhance city security. These kiosks would function as small police stations, but also be staffed by guards and field assistants to increase local presence and coordination of safety initiatives. The Södermalm District Committee agrees that safety efforts need strengthening but believes existing methods, such as activating priority areas and reinforcing inter-agency cooperation, should be further developed instead.

A motion has been put forward by Andréa Hedin (M) to LGBTQ+-certify home care services in Stockholm. The mover believes that older LGBTQ+ individuals worry about future care and that their homes should be safe spaces where no one has to hide their identity. The Södermalm district administration agrees this is an important issue and states they are already working to strengthen expertise on LGBTQ+ issues and conduct within elderly care, including through training, and are awaiting the city's upcoming LGBTQ+ diploma training for organizations.

A motion by Therese Lindström (M) proposes permanently opening a northbound lane on Skanstullsbron to car traffic to reduce queues and ease commuting between Hammarby Sjöstad, southern Stockholm, and Södermalm. However, the Södermalm district administration lacks the expertise to assess traffic flows but stresses that any traffic solution must align with the city's Accessibility Strategy, which prioritizes high-capacity transport and increased reliability for all road users. The administration notes that the ongoing reconstruction of Skansbron, which caused current traffic issues, is nearing completion and will soon see two-way traffic resume.

Members of the Moderate Party, Annika Elmlund and Johan Nilsson, propose that Stockholm should invest in more "pocket parks" and green walls to improve the city's pleasantness and quality of life. This means creating small, green spaces and plant-covered walls in both new residential areas and existing locations within the city. The Södermalm district administration is positive towards these proposals, believing they contribute to a greener and more pleasant city, which is particularly important for children, but emphasizes that pocket parks cannot replace larger parks.

The Södermalm District Council has commented on Stockholm City's revised food strategy, "Good Food for Health, Climate, and Environment." The administration is positive towards the new food program aiming to make the city's meals more sustainable, healthy, and safe, including ensuring food in preschools, schools, and elder care is tasty, nutritious, and at least 70% organic (with a goal of 100% organic dairy products). The program also seeks to reduce the climate impact of food, strengthen the city's crisis preparedness, and encourage Stockholmers to choose more sustainable food options.

The City Audit has reviewed safety at Stockholm's youth recreation centers, including those in Södermalm. They assess the work as generally good but see room for improvement, particularly regarding the documentation of background checks for new hires and the follow-up with external recreation centers. Södermalm's district council has responded that they will strengthen their work on background checks, child welfare reports, local collaboration with the police and social services, and improve the follow-up of all recreation centers, whether they are run internally or externally.

The City Planning Office has proposed a new detailed development plan for the property Kålroten 3 at Nytorget 6-8 in Södermalm. The plan aims to enable a 3D property formation, allowing commercial premises within the building to be separated from residential units. This could provide tax advantages for the housing cooperative, as it may then be considered a "genuine" housing cooperative. The Södermalm District Administration has no objections to the proposal as it does not involve any physical changes to the building or affect their operations. The matter will now be handled by the City Planning Office.

The Södermalm district administration has commented on a detailed development plan proposal for the property Bonden Större 43 at Skånegatan 63–65. The plan suggests adding one floor to the existing building for seven new rental apartments, three-story townhouses on the elevated courtyard, and new retail or restaurant spaces. The administration is positive overall, viewing the proposal as contributing to a greener urban environment and an active streetscape, but wishes for an investigation into ways to reduce potential shadow effects on neighboring properties from the new construction.

The Stockholm City Council will decide on a local action program for Strömmen river. The program aims to improve water quality and the habitat for animals and plants in Strömmen, which currently has poor ecological and chemical status due to pollution from traffic, wastewater, and old port areas, among other sources. Measures include purifying stormwater, managing contaminated bottom sediments, and improving the physical habitat. The costs are estimated to be hundreds of millions of kronor and will be financed in various ways, including through water and wastewater fees and the city's budget.

The Södermalm District Council will approve a new version of its local information security directive, which outlines how the administration manages and protects information. This clarifies responsibilities and procedures to ensure residents' data is safe and all employees are trained in information security. The updated directive also includes procedures for handling incidents, like data breaches and suspected phishing emails, and requirements from the new cybersecurity law.

The Södermalm District Council has approved its 2025 annual report and financial statements, showing a surplus of SEK 58.2 million. The administration assesses that they have met the City Council's goals in areas such as welfare, climate, and economy. The council is requesting reallocations for several investments, including SEK 1 million for the Tantolunden playground, SEK 1.5 million for climate investments in Tantolunden, and SEK 0.7 million for safety measures on Maria Prästgårdsgata.

A resident proposed installing a very long notice board at Tullhusen on Skeppsbron, so people could post notices there instead of directly on the buildings. However, the Södermalm district administration advises against the proposal. They believe the location is too narrow for both pedestrians and cyclists, and that a notice board would obstruct accessibility and the management of Tullhusen.

A resident proposed improvements to the area around the memorial for Stockholm's last shipyard by the London Viaduct, suggesting the removal of bushes, the addition of paving stones, a bench, a waste bin, and a historical sign. The district administration agrees the site needs enhancement and plans to remove the bushes, pave the area, and install a historical sign in 2026. While space for a bench is unavailable, a waste bin will be placed nearby.

A resident proposed installing signs on Rosenlundsgatan in Södermalm to inform about an old country road and tobacco barns that were once in the area. The administration believes a historical information board in Ånghästparken would be of interest to residents and suggests exploring the possibility of funding such a board in the 2026 or 2027 budget. The board could cover the country road, tobacco barns, and other historical facts about the area.

The Södermalm District Council proposes to reclaim the right to decide on kindergarten closures from the School Director. Starting February 19, 2026, the council itself will make decisions regarding kindergarten closures, regardless of the reason or duration. This represents a change in the council's internal delegation of authority.

Södermalm District Council received six citizen proposals in January 2026. These included requests for more tennis courts, a roller skating rink at Åsö School, and more efficient training times on football fields. Other proposals were for watering cans with the city's logo for preschools and schools, raising the road to sidewalk level on Ringvägen, and planting trees along Folkungagatan.

Svenska Bostäder, a municipal housing company, has approved its financial report for December 2025. The report shows the company's loan debt was SEK 12,259 million with an interest rate of 2.70%. Reduced investment volume has contributed to lower debt, which may impact future rents and property investments.

Svenska Bostäder has informed its board about new framework agreements for various property-related works. These agreements cover control and regulation systems (SEK 60 million), pipe lining (SEK 70 million), and substations and heat pump systems (SEK 500 million). This secures suppliers for the maintenance and development of their properties in the coming years, benefiting residents through well-maintained buildings and heating systems.

Svenska Bostäder reports on the status of new housing construction. During 2025, construction began on 92 apartments in Rinkeby, but none were completed. For 2026, construction is planned to start on 122 apartments in Lilla Essingen, and the municipality is also investigating building approximately 50 Stockholmshus apartments in Smedslätten. Several other projects have been paused or postponed due to economic challenges and lengthy planning processes.

Svenska Bostäder's board has approved management's review of information security for 2026. The report indicates that the company improved its information security and data protection management in 2025 through actions such as information classification, updated agreements, and better incident handling. For 2026, plans include measures to simplify information security work, manage risks and incidents more effectively, and prepare for new legal requirements like the NIS2 directive, ultimately strengthening the company's ability to protect information and comply with regulations.

Svenska Bostäder's Data Protection Officer has presented their annual report for 2025. The report reviews how well the company adheres to GDPR and manages personal data. It indicates that the company has good compliance in most areas, but that there are improvement areas related to training and documentation.

This is a notification that the minutes from Svenska Bostäder's board meeting on October 16, 2025, have been adjusted and distributed. This is a purely administrative action to confirm that the meeting minutes have been formally approved and disseminated.

This report approves Stadsholmen's financial monthly report for December 2025. The report details the company's loan from Svenska Bostäder, which amounted to SEK 719 million in December 2025 with an interest rate of 2.70%. It also provides an overview of the entire municipal group's finances, including loans, interest rates, and future interest rate forecasts.

Stadsholmen has reviewed its information security work for 2025 and is planning measures for 2026. This work focuses on protecting digital information from breaches, securing personal data, and managing IT incidents. The plan for 2026 includes simplifying governance, improving risk and incident management, and preparing for new EU cybersecurity laws (NIS2). The goal is to increase security and compliance with laws concerning digital information.

The Board of Stadsholmen has approved the Data Protection Officer's annual report for 2025. The report reviews how the company handles personal data according to GDPR and shows that most areas have good compliance, but that there are areas for improvement such as training and documentation.

This is a balance list from the Skärholmen District Administration, detailing various ongoing assignments the board will address during the spring of 2026. These assignments include matters such as escort services, the reintroduction of the 127 Festival, measures against begging at ATMs, safety in areas like Skärholmen and Bredäng, and the expansion of the disc golf course in Sätraskogen.

The minutes document a steering group meeting for the "Skärholmen Together" initiative, which aims to provide meaningful and active leisure opportunities for children and youth in Skärholmen. Discussions included challenges in finding premises for Project Playground, the launch of after-school activities at schools, and "Winter Camp" featuring try-it-out activities from associations and the library. Responsibility for the initiative will be transferred to the Individual and Family department within the district administration.

The minutes from the Skärholmen Senior Citizens' Council meeting on February 12, 2026, indicate that information was provided on upcoming spring activities for seniors. A new training program for healthcare assistants, developed in collaboration with the Red Cross Folk High School, was also presented to enhance expertise in healthcare and social care. The council also discussed the 2025 activity report, which included initiatives such as LGBTQI meeting places, IT security training, and "Cycling Without Age."

The minutes detail a meeting with the council for disability issues in the districts of Hägersten-Älvsjö and Skärholmen. Topics discussed included a ten-year housing plan for people with disabilities and strategies to increase their participation in elections. Additionally, Hägersten-Älvsjö will take over a group home for deafblind individuals and renovate a supported living facility, while Skärholmen plans to open a new supported living facility with twelve apartments in 2027 and launch a mobile social services unit.

The Inspectorate of Healthcare and Social Welfare (IVO) reviewed the Skärholmen district council and found deficiencies in how they handle cases for children and young people, including checks before child placements, handling of reported concerns, and the municipality's own quality control. The Skärholmen district council has since reported the measures they have taken and plan, which IVO deems sufficient to address the deficiencies and has therefore closed the case, though the municipality must continue its quality work and evaluate the effects of the measures.

The City of Stockholm and the Red Cross Folk High School in Skärholmen have signed a cooperation agreement for the years 2026-2027. The goal is to strengthen residents' trust in society and increase knowledge about social support services, particularly for parents and young adults in Skärholmen, Sätra, Bredäng, and Vårberg. The collaboration will include offering parenting courses, civic orientation, senior activities, and competence development in elderly care.

The Skärholmen district council will select a new alternate member for its pensioners' council. Lena Renner, nominated by SPF Seniorerna, is proposed for election until December 31, 2026. This appointment will ensure the council has full representation from pensioners' organizations, enabling it to better advocate for seniors' interests.

The Skärholmen District Council has updated its delegation of authority, changing the rules for who can make various decisions within Skärholmen's social services. This ongoing update adjusts legal references and clarifies processes for data protection, information security, and handling Lex Sarah and Lex Maria cases. While some decisions can now be made at a lower level, the council retains the right to decide on matters concerning personal integrity, such as paternity investigations and custody transfers.

The Skärholmen District Committee has decided to designate fifteen named officials who can request police assistance in cases involving the care of children and young people under the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU) and the Act on Placement in Protected Accommodation. This measure aims to ensure swift implementation of necessary interventions, such as when a guardian opposes a decision. This new decision replaces previous similar authorizations.

This document is the Skärholmen District Committee's activity report for 2025, reviewing the year's budget utilization and operational performance. The report provides a detailed analysis of the committee's financial outcomes and investments, including addressing deficits in certain preschool units through action plans. The committee also assessed its internal control as sufficient for the year and outlines ongoing innovation initiatives in preschools, LSS activities, and youth recreation in Skärholmen.

The Skärholmen District Committee is allocating a total of SEK 125,000 in grants to associations for district days in 2026. Four associations will receive funding: Stockholms Stadsmission (Vårberg, SEK 25,000), Drömstort (Sätra, SEK 25,000), Svensk-Azerbajdzjanska kulturföreningen (Skärholmen, SEK 50,000), and Jakobsbergs gård (Bredäng, SEK 25,000). These grants are intended for open events that promote community, culture, and activities for residents.

The Skärholmen District Council has decided to allocate grants for community activities in 2026. A total of 22 associations have been awarded grants amounting to SEK 398,890. These funds are intended for activities that strengthen community, promote integration, democracy, equality, and safety for residents in Bredäng, Sätra, Skärholmen, and Vårberg, with a particular focus on newly arrived women and girls, as well as children and young people.

The Moderate Party has submitted a motion to the municipal council proposing to make cycling in Stockholm safer and better. They advocate for improved coordination between different modes of transport, clearer signage, better maintenance of cycle paths, and more bicycle parking, aiming for a total of 10,000 new locking posts. The Skärholmen District Administration supports the proposal to enhance cycling conditions, even though most Skärholmen residents are already satisfied with cyclist safety and accessibility, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvements for both climate and public health.

The motion proposes that the Stockholm City Council initiate a pilot project for a "citizen budget," allowing residents to decide how a portion of municipal funds are used to reduce social inequalities. While similar projects have succeeded in cities like Paris and Lund, the Skärholmen district administration believes a pilot is unnecessary as most districts already employ this approach, citing Skärholmen's own successful citizen budget in 2025 where residents voted on fruit tree and berry bush plantings in Bredängsparken.

Stockholm City is revising its food strategy to promote good health, reduce climate impact, and strengthen food preparedness. The Skärholmen District Council supports the proposal but foresees challenges in adapting diets in elderly care, as residents often prefer traditional home-style cooking. The Council for the Elderly requests an elderly impact assessment and stresses the importance of residents receiving familiar food, on-site food preparation in elderly care, and staff receiving cooking training.

The Moderates, Centre Party, and Liberals have proposed establishing a business council in Skärholmen to boost the local business climate and enhance safety. The administration agrees on the importance of local business but suggests waiting for the establishment of four new business development officers for all of Stockholm, one of whom will work in Skärholmen, to coordinate efforts more effectively.

The Centre Party, Moderates, Liberals, and Sweden Democrats in Skärholmen inquired about training for staff on how to act during active shooter situations (PDV) and how the safety of both employees and politicians is ensured. The Skärholmen district administration responded that they have procedures for handling threats and violence, and that they are participating in a city-wide procurement process for PDV training. They are also open to discussing training for the district committee's politicians.

A citizen proposed building a hobby horse obstacle course on the green space at Sätravarvsvägen 41, near the Sätra Riding Arena. The administration welcomes the idea, believing it could encourage play and physical activity among children and young people. The matter has been forwarded to the sports administration to be handled with relevant stakeholders.

A citizen proposal was submitted to the Skärholmen district council with nine suggestions to improve the inclusion of children with neuropsychiatric disabilities (NPD) in preschools and social services. The proposal includes staff training, adapted facilities, and better interaction. The district administration believes that several of the suggestions are already covered by existing work on accessibility and participation, but agrees on the importance of competence development and adaptations being made based on the specific needs of the operations. Individual education plans will be established to ensure staff have the right knowledge.

The protocol from Skarpnäck District Council's Pensioner Council shows that elderly issues are addressed, including home care and patient safety in nursing homes. The council supports proposals on winter road maintenance and traffic safety, but calls for better accessibility for the elderly and coordination of efforts. They also express concern about how a revised food strategy might affect the elderly.

This is a list of incoming and outgoing correspondence and matters to and from the Skarpnäck City District Administration. Among other things, Bagarmossen Folkets Hus applied for financial support for the "Gubbröraran" project, which was rejected with reference to ordinary association grants. There are also citizen proposals to replace the gravel with artificial turf on Bagarmossen's open ball court and to lay artificial ice on Tätorp's ball court.

A citizen proposes replacing the gravel field at Bagarmossen center with artificial turf. This would activate the area, improve public health, and increase safety and youth activities in Bagarmossen. Simple lighting is also suggested to enhance the field's usability.

This motion proposes the city enhance pedestrian safety at crosswalks, citing over 4,000 injuries and 12 traffic fatalities in 2023, many involving pedestrians. The Liberals advocate for mapping dangerous locations and prioritizing improvements like better lighting, clearer markings, and raised crosswalks. The Skarpnäck District Administration notes these proposals fall outside their purview and defer to the Traffic Committee's expertise.

Councilor Therese Lindström (M) proposes to permanently open a northbound lane for car traffic on Skanstullsbron to reduce queues and traffic congestion in Södra innerstaden, especially as Skansbron is rebuilt and becomes one-way southbound. The Skarpnäck District Administration welcomes solutions for improved accessibility for all types of traffic but refers the matter to the traffic committee's expertise, as it falls outside their area of responsibility.

Two Liberal politicians propose Stockholm implement a "District Boost" (Stadsdelslyft) to combat insecurity and crime in vulnerable areas, similar to Fokus Järva but broader, with a clear action plan including goals for all involved committees and companies. However, the Skarpnäck District Administration argues that such work is already effectively underway within existing structures and that Skarpnäck does not face the problems the motion addresses; rather, it is experiencing positive development.

The City of Stockholm is implementing a new food program, "Good Food for Health, Climate, and Environment," to replace its previous food strategy. This program aims to promote sustainable and healthy food within municipal operations like schools and elderly care, while also reducing residents' climate impact from food consumption. Key measures include increasing organic food requirements (at least 70% organic, 100% for dairy), cutting climate emissions from procured foods by 40% by 2030, and strengthening the city's food supply preparedness.

This matter concerns how Skarpnäck's preschools address degrading treatment and discrimination. Politicians from C and M welcome an audit showing preventive work is already underway, but seek further information on how the administration will ensure children's perspectives are considered in investigations. The administration states they will report on their work, involve management teams and educators through training to strengthen knowledge, and emphasize the main principal's ultimate responsibility for routines, with principals designating who speaks with children and assistant principals leading the work despite existing staff challenges.

The opposition in Stockholm asked the Skarpnäck district administration how many children hadn't returned to preschool or school after summer 2025, and what the administration is doing to prevent young people from being abducted against their will. The administration replied that no children were missing from Skarpnäck schools or preschools after summer 2025, and they had not investigated any cases of child abduction during that period. They explained they have routines for following up on preschool absences, social services act on welfare reports, and the city works with action plans to detect and prevent honor-related violence and oppression.

The Skarpnäck District Council is appointing Ingvar Hultmark (L) as a new member of the Social Delegation for the remainder of 2026. This delegation handles individual social service matters within the district.

The Skarpnäck District Council reviewed the patient safety report for Hemmet för gamla and Enskededalen's day activity for 2025. The report indicates improvements in patient safety, including fewer fall deviations, but a worrying increase in falls leading to fractures. For 2026, planned measures include reducing fractures, strengthening teamwork, improving medical device handling, and increasing pressure ulcer reporting.

The City of Stockholm and Nacka Municipality have developed an action program for Strömmen to improve its water quality, as it currently suffers from poor ecological and chemical status due to pollution from traffic and sewage. The program proposes concrete measures like purifying stormwater and enhancing habitats for flora and fauna, with initial investments estimated at a minimum of 24 million SEK.

The Skarpnäck District Council plans to procure contractors for winter road maintenance, including snow removal from roads and stairs, sweeping sand, and some park maintenance in the Skarpnäck area. This is to ensure streets and parks remain safe and accessible during winter, with the four-year agreement also including environmental requirements for vehicles and machinery.

The Skarpnäck District Council has approved its activity report and financial statement for 2025. The council met most of its goals, both the city council's overall objectives and its own specific targets, though some areas were only partially achieved. Financially, the council has a surplus of 19.9 million SEK and intends to transfer 5.5 million SEK to 2026 for certain result units.

This matter concerns the Northern Inner City Management Group's report of their meeting minutes from February 11, 2026. The minutes detail discussions regarding issues with the new cleaning contractor, technical problems with the LISA payroll system, and open preschool hours. Statistics on sick leave, incident reporting, and vacation planning were also addressed.

This is a protocol from the Council for Disability Issues in Norra innerstaden and Kungsholmen's meeting on February 9, 2026. The Council discussed accessibility at Nova preschool, requesting the administration investigate improvements for elevators, stairs, and lighting. They also emphasized the importance of adapted housing for people with disabilities and asked the administration to assess the need for priority access for these individuals.

The Northern Inner City Pensioners' Council has submitted meeting minutes, voicing concerns for the 2027-2029 budget. They advocate for increased staff competence development in elder care, especially language skills, and call for more elder housing, improved regional-municipal healthcare cooperation, and greater elder influence in city planning for an age-friendly city.

This is a notification regarding the Norra innerstaden mailing list for the period of January 8 to February 4, 2026. The list contains a variety of incoming and created documents across various areas, such as citizen proposals on street lighting and winter maintenance, applications for extended preschool hours, complaints about home care services, and requests for public document disclosure. It is purely an administrative list of matters registered during the period.

This is a notification of several decisions made by the Norra innerstaden District Administration between January 8 and February 4, 2026. These decisions cover exceptions to preschool hours, handling of referrals concerning stormwater and artificial turf, temporary closure of the Youth Clinic, applications for serving permits and building permits for toilet facilities, and procurements for media and environmental monitoring and medical devices.

Council member Sara Svanström (L) proposed that Stockholm map and secure dangerous pedestrian crossings, especially for pedestrians and people with disabilities, following 4092 traffic injuries in 2023, many involving pedestrians. The District Administration replied that traffic safety is already prioritized in the city's 2026 traffic safety plan and budget, which includes enhanced safety for vulnerable road users and a continuous mapping of crossings.

The Liberals propose transforming Odenplan into a "Piazza Odenplan" with more greenery, market stalls, outdoor cafes, and art, by closing part of Upplandsgatan to traffic to create a unified space. The district administration welcomes the idea of a greener, more pleasant urban environment but notes challenges regarding traffic, crowds, and design. They will conduct an analysis to determine how Odenplan can be developed into a safer and more attractive public space.

A motion from Leif Söderström (SD) proposes widening Stockholm's Klarastrandsleden from two to three lanes, including a reversible middle lane, to alleviate congestion, reduce emissions, and relieve Essingeleden and inner-city streets. The administration, however, suggests weighing this proposal against the city's comprehensive plan, which envisions Klarastrandsleden as an urban development area where the road could be transformed into a more urban thoroughfare with housing to create a safer city.

Moderate council members Dennis Wedin and Petra Gardos Ek have proposed that the city address illegal street racing on Strandvägen, where cars reach speeds of up to 200 km/h, suggesting increased police presence, municipal security guards, speed bumps, and speed cameras. The administration agrees on the need for action and recommends that the traffic office investigate and implement suitable traffic safety measures, such as dynamic speed deterrents, to stop the street racing.

Dennis Wedin (M) has submitted a motion to improve cycling in Stockholm, proposing the Traffic Committee be tasked with upgrading and expanding cycle paths, improving signage and lighting, and installing 10,000 new bike racks. The administration welcomes this initiative as it aligns with the city's cycling plan, which aims to make cycling easier and safer through a cohesive network and clear wayfinding.

Moderates propose Stockholm introduce more "pocket parks" and plant walls to enhance urban well-being and greenery, advocating for a strategy to integrate these features into new and existing areas. The Norra innerstaden district administration views this positively but suggests these are mere complements to larger green spaces, arguing for broader guidelines on green infrastructure planning to meet climate goals and strengthen ecosystem services, rather than a specific strategy for pocket parks.

The Moderates propose transforming Stockholm's Sergels torg into "Sergelparken," a new green park with more greenery, outdoor seating, and play areas, also suggesting investigating rebuilding the roundabout and enclosing the area under the fountain with glass for a safer environment. While the administration welcomes a greener city, it notes challenges with planting on Soltorget and the importance of preserving the square's cultural environment, recommending the Norra Innerstaden City District Board approve its statement to the City Executive Board.

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency proposes a new national packaging ordinance to align with new EU regulations. This means municipalities like Stockholm will continue to collect packaging waste in public spaces such as squares and parks and can receive compensation, though concerns remain that this compensation likely won't cover the city's costs.

The City of Stockholm proposes a new food program to improve meals in municipal operations like preschools, schools, and elder care, emphasizing sustainability, health, environment, climate, and food security. The Norra Innerstaden district administration welcomes the revised program but wants clarification on how food will be adapted for the elderly and those with special needs, and requests joint procurement of digital dietary data programs by the city.

The City District Board for Norra Innerstaden is to approve an account of the personal ombudsman operations for 2025 and an application for government grants for 2026. Personal ombudsmen assist adults with mental disabilities to live more independently and access societal support, with the service being free of charge. The government grant funds four full-time personal ombudsman positions for Kungsholmen, Norra Innerstaden, and Södermalm.

The City of Stockholm proposes an action program for Strömmen to improve water quality and habitats for plants and animals, as the waterway currently has poor status due to pollution from urban development, traffic, and wastewater. However, the municipality assesses that EU environmental goals for Strömmen cannot be met within the deadline using only local efforts, requiring larger-scale measures at regional, national, and international levels.

The Norra innerstaden district committee is distributing association grants to encourage residents' engagement in social activities that complement the district's own initiatives. In 2025, 22 associations received a total of 2 million SEK, and for 2026, 2.3 million SEK is proposed to be allocated to 29 of 33 applicant associations. This support aims to combat isolation and activate residents, with a particular focus on gender equality and the inclusion of various age groups and LGBTQI individuals.

The Norra innerstaden district council has submitted its activity report for 2025, stating it fully met all three overarching municipal council goals. The council also reported a surplus of SEK 94.4 million, primarily due to older residents being healthier and more independent, which reduced the need for elder care services.

The matter regarding the extension of the operating agreement for Linnégården care home has been removed from the agenda. This means the City Council will not be making a decision on this issue at the meeting.

The Ekhagen Association proposed three uses for a vacant floor at Åminnevägen, home to the Almen youth home: a cultural school, changing rooms for the football pitch, or accommodation for university academics. However, the Social Services Department, which runs Almen, is exploring using the floor for daytime office space and stresses caution regarding other activities due to the children at the youth home. Therefore, the Norra Innerstaden District Administration will not investigate the association's proposals further at this time, but they may reconsider if the Social Services Department's plans change.

A citizen proposed free, temporary, company-sponsored padel and tennis courts on Gärdet to promote spontaneous sports and public health in Norra innerstaden. The district administration rejected the proposal, stating that Gärdet's sports fields are managed by the Sports Administration, not them, and space for new facilities in the inner city is limited. Instead, they plan to develop existing spontaneous sports areas for various activities and have purchased activity boxes for equipment rental in parks.

A citizen suggested clearer signage regarding leashing dogs and dog waste cleanup in green spaces like Tessinparken and Sportfältet, and more larger trash bins. The Norra innerstaden administration plans to clarify dog rules in Tessinparken in 2026 by reviewing signage and replacing some smaller trash bins with larger models. The administration also proposes that feedback concerning Gärdet and Sportfältet, which are managed by the Royal Djurgården Administration and the Sports Committee, be forwarded to them for their information.

A resident proposed paving and separating the pedestrian and bicycle path along Valhallavägen's central reservation between Lidingövägen and Gärdet, citing dangerous congestion and large puddles. The district administration rejected the paving due to Valhallavägen's cultural-historical value, but noted that the traffic office is already upgrading the avenue to improve conditions for pedestrians and cyclists.

A citizen proposed adding signs in Vasaparken to display the name, species, and possibly the planting year of its trees. The Norra innerstaden district council supports this, finding it suitable to include both Swedish and Latin names, and notes that funding is available in the 2026 budget to better inform visitors about the park's diverse tree population.

Two high school students proposed installing free dog waste bag dispensers in Stureparken to improve comfort and cleanliness. The district administration has trialed this in other parks but found it ineffective due to bags running out too quickly and the resource-intensive nature of refilling them. Consequently, the administration will not install more dispensers and will instead clarify regulations for dog owners on information signs in Stureparken, emphasizing that owners are responsible for bringing their own bags.

A citizen proposed building a permanent skatepark in Hjorthagen, Norra Djurgårdsstaden, on an empty grassy area between the Ängsbotten and Starkströmmen blocks. However, the administration rejected the proposal, stating the location is too small for a skatepark and will soon be closed for construction traffic related to the Starkströmmen block's development.

The Norra innerstaden district council received a citizen proposal regarding winter maintenance for outdoor gyms. The council has decided to forward the proposal to the administration for an investigation into its implementation. This means residents in Norra innerstaden may gain access to functional outdoor gyms even during winter.

The Norra innerstaden district council received information on two topics. The preschools Luna and Sandön will participate in a project during spring 2026 to develop a common approach for how preschools can work with sustainable development, focusing on environmental issues. Additionally, this year's senior dialogues are starting for the third consecutive year, with eldercare organizing six meetings at nursing homes and the Hjorthagsträffen senior center for dialogue with pensioners and the council.

This is a notification of the meeting minutes from the Kungsholmen administrative group's meeting on February 12, 2026. The meeting covered the 2025 annual financial statement and activity report, which showed a surplus of 36.4 million SEK. They also discussed 2026 vacation planning, follow-ups on various goals within social services, elderly care, preschools, and culture, as well as improvement measures for the work environment and digitalization.

This is a notification concerning the minutes from the Council for Disability Issues in Kungsholmen and Norra innerstaden. The meeting on February 9, 2026, addressed accessibility at Nova preschool, the need for adapted housing for people with disabilities without intervention, and the importance of various therapeutic functions in daily activities and service housing. The council requests that the administrations investigate these matters and that minutes from other disability councils become more easily accessible.

Kungsholmen District Council's Pensioners' Council met to discuss elder care, expressing dissatisfaction at not being involved in the revised food strategy. They also criticized the "Action Plan for an Age-Friendly City" for its lack of clear division of responsibility and impact analysis for the elderly. Additionally, new premises for home care at Garvagatan, an evacuation residence for Alströmerhemmet in Enskede, and a new nursing and care home in Stadshagen are being planned.

Leif Söderström (SD) has proposed widening Klarastrandsleden to three lanes, with one reversible, to alleviate congestion and traffic issues between northern and southern Stockholm. However, the Kungsholmen District Administration believes Klarastrandsleden's future should be investigated as part of a broader urban development plan for the area, aligning with Stockholm's comprehensive plan to transform traffic arteries into more urban thoroughfares.

The Liberals propose a "Neighborhood Uplift" action plan for Stockholm, targeting all vulnerable areas city-wide, not just Järva, to combat crime and social exclusion. This plan would strengthen core services like housing, social care, and schools, and improve the physical environment through quicker graffiti removal and increased art and culture. Kungsholmen District Council, stating they have no vulnerable areas, supports a long-term, flexible city-wide effort to enhance safety and prevent new vulnerable areas from emerging, while already engaging in crime prevention.

The Kungsholmen District Council has reviewed a proposed new action plan for an age-friendly city, intended to replace the previous "Action Plan for an Elder-Friendly City." The council recommends clarifying the target group (whether it includes only the elderly or all ages) and defining clear responsibilities for implementation, as these aspects are currently ambiguous. They also request that follow-up procedures include concrete measures and timeframes to ensure consistent and effective work across Stockholm.

Kungsholmen City District Council has evaluated "Stockholm City's Food Program," welcoming its heightened ambitions for sustainable and healthy meals, aligning with the city's environmental and climate plans. The program aims to reduce food's climate impact, increase organic and locally sourced options, and strengthen food preparedness, ensuring more sustainable and nutritious meals in schools and elder care, and requiring all city-purchased food, including coffee and tea, to be eco- and fair-labeled.

The Center Party in Kungsholmen questioned the city district administration regarding a data breach at system provider Miljödata, which exposed personal data for all City of Stockholm employees. They sought information on the administration's efforts to prevent fraud attempts against employees and whether specific metrics were used to track this work. The administration responded that they proactively work with guidelines, training, and technical measures, but do not use specific key performance indicators, instead relying on existing systems like internal control and incident reporting for follow-up.

Kungsholmen politicians from the Moderate, Liberal, and Christian Democrat parties inquired about the number of employees receiving severance pay and the reasons why. The administration reported that 11 employees received severance pay in 2025 at a cost of over 2.9 million SEK, and a total of 29 between 2023-2025, citing disagreements over duties or cutbacks as potential reasons. They also outlined their reference and recruitment processes to avoid hiring individuals with past misconduct, noting a lack of comparative statistics with other city districts.

Following a 2023 fire, a new, permanent park playground building will be constructed in Kronobergsparken on Kungsholmen. The temporary pavilion will be demolished in early 2027 and the new, larger, and more accessible facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. While the park playground and recreational activities will be temporarily relocated during construction, the administration emphasizes the importance of securing a long-term and functional meeting place for children and young people in the area.

The Kungsholmen District Council proposes that the City Council approves the development of the promenade along Karlbergskanalen. This popular stretch, part of the "Kungsholmen runt" loop, needs widening and ground stabilization due to landslide risk. The project is estimated to cost 72 million SEK, with plans to apply for state grants covering up to 60 percent of the cost.

The Kungsholmen District Council has approved its activity report and financial statement for 2025, noting its contributions to fulfilling municipal objectives and reporting a surplus of SEK 40.5 million before appropriations. A re-budgeting of SEK 1.0 million is requested to enhance safety at Valvet preschool.

Two citizen proposals for Kungsholmen have been forwarded to the urban development department. One suggests renovating the tennis court in Fredhällsparken with a new surface, while the other proposes flooding the basketball court in Kronobergsparken for ice skating in winter, similar to Hagaparken.

The Hässelby-Vällingby Senior Citizens' Council discussed the difficulty faced by associations in finding suitable premises for elderly activities and emphasized the need for eldercare caseworkers to be more accessible, for example at health centers. The Council was also informed about the Stadsdelskampen event on May 27, 2026, at Hässelby Sports Ground, which will feature activities and entertainment for seniors.

The Bromma and Hässelby-Vällingby joint council for disability issues met on December 16, 2025, to discuss earlier involvement in matters affecting people with disabilities; the administration will now share information sooner and allow the council to comment on referrals. Updates were also given on efforts to reduce vulnerable areas in Hässelby-Vällingby through citizen dialogues, and a positive trend of individuals in social psychiatry and LSS moving into employment and more independent living.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board has approved the follow-up report for Starbogården's day activities for seniors with dementia. The report generally indicates high quality, with satisfied users, experienced staff, and a secure environment. However, the activities need to improve their work with core values and clarify the professional development plan for staff, which they have already started to address.

The Sweden Democrats have proposed to the municipal council to widen Klarastrandsleden to three lanes, including a reversible middle lane to alleviate congestion, reduce emissions, and improve flow between northern and southern Stockholm. Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council received the motion for referral but deferred it to the Traffic Administration Office and the Norra Innerstaden City District Administration, as Klarastrandsleden falls outside their jurisdiction.

The Moderates proposed introducing "safety kiosks" in Stockholm, similar to those in Japan and Germany, as small premises near the subway for police, security guards, and field assistants to increase safety and visibility. However, the Hässelby-Vällingby District Council believes that a shared physical space isn't the primary solution; rather, close cooperation between the police and the municipality, which already occurs through existing agreements, is crucial.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Administration has reviewed a new action plan for children's rights in Stockholm, set to run until 2030, which replaces an earlier version. While supporting the plan's goal to ensure all children's rights under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the administration suggests a greater focus on equality, providing feedback to children, and making the plan more practical for city committees and companies to implement.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board has approved a consultation response regarding the city's action plan for an age-friendly city. This plan aims for Stockholm to be a city where older adults can live safely, independently, and with good quality of life, free from age-based discrimination. The administration further suggests strengthening efforts against homelessness and addressing the situation of LGBTQI+ individuals, in addition to promoting participation, accessible housing, adapted urban environments, and improved communication.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council has approved a statement regarding a detailed development plan for Springbrunnen 1 and part of Grimsta 1:2 in Hässelby gård. The plan allows for the construction of two new apartment buildings with 68 units, up to four stories plus a basement level, along Loviselundsvägen, as well as an expansion for sports facilities and a new power grid station. While the administration supports new housing near services and public transport, it has concerns about the proximity to the football field and the potential for noise and light disturbances.

A citizen proposed building an imaginative playground in Hässelby-Vällingby, similar to Solna's Mulle Meck Park, ideally linked to the Riddersvik ground remediation. While the district administration agrees on the benefits of such playgrounds, they cannot fund a new one at Riddersvik as the remediation only covers restoring the existing playground, but they will consider the idea for future park upgrade projects.

A citizen proposed measures to improve safety in Vällingby, especially the town center, citing widespread feelings of insecurity and suggesting more police, security guards, better lighting, and crime prevention. The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Administration acknowledged the proposal and will launch an in-depth survey of safety and crime in Vällingby in spring 2026, collaborating with the police, property owners, businesses, civil society, and residents to determine appropriate actions.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council has adopted a new delegation of authority to streamline decision-making within its administration. This empowers certain officials to make decisions on behalf of the council, particularly in social services, elder care, and disability services, with several changes driven by new laws like the revised Social Services Act coming into force in July 2025. For example, team leaders can now decide to end follow-ups for children and young people, and certain decision limits for home care have been adjusted.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council has approved its 2025 activity report and requested that a surplus of SEK 37 million be transferred to 2026. The report indicates that the council met its goals of improving children's upbringing conditions, increasing preschool enrollment, and strengthening support for vulnerable groups. A project called "Samteamet" was particularly successful in helping individuals receiving long-term financial assistance find employment or more stable housing.

This item concerns a report from social services inspectors regarding individuals in Hägersten-Älvsjö who receive long-term financial assistance due to unemployment. The Social Welfare Committee processed this report on January 27, 2026.

This report details decisions made by municipal employees, not politicians, during January 2026. These include a personal data incident notification, responses to building permit referrals for a temporary housing setup on parkland and a fence extension, and decisions on procurements and contracts for parkland maintenance.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö Pensioner Council met and discussed concerns that the elderly care budget in their district appears to be larger than what is actually spent, resulting in poorer care compared to other parts of the city. The council proposed that the district council investigate how elderly care can be improved and made more equitable, for example by distributing Senior Health services more evenly throughout the district. They also discussed the importance of allowing elderly residents to choose their own meals.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö and Skärholmen disability council discussed long-term housing plans for people with disabilities, noting challenges when central decisions impact local building projects. They also reviewed 2025 activity reports, focusing on increasing voter participation among people with disabilities and initiating health projects.

The Urban Environment Unit in Hägersten-Älvsjö has presented its activity plan for 2026, focusing on improving the urban environment, increasing accessibility for people with disabilities, engaging residents in urban development, and strengthening cooperation with civil society. Planned initiatives include clean-ups with associations, a new terrain track in Älvsjöskogen in collaboration with residents, and a follow-up on agreements for raised-bed cultivation projects.

The City Planning Office proposes making Lake Trekanten in Hägersten-Älvsjö a biotop protection area to safeguard its high natural values, especially for bats, amphibians, and other rare species. While the Hägersten-Älvsjö district council supports this, they note a dog exercise area would need relocation. The area is popular for recreation, and a planned new subway entrance will be located outside the proposed protected zone.

Councillor Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposes that Stockholm investigate creating more practice riding areas for motorcycles, as the single existing site at Stockholmsmässan is often overcrowded. The district administration in Hägersten-Älvsjö agrees there's a need but notes that any new facility should avoid residential areas due to motorcycle noise.

The Liberals propose introducing more summer pedestrian streets and squares in Stockholm as early as summer 2025 to enhance the city's appeal, boost commerce, and improve the environment. They stress the importance of maintaining accessibility for buses and trams, and involving residents and businesses in the planning. The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Administration supports the idea but believes the Traffic Department must collaborate closely with them to leverage their local knowledge and ensure safety.

The Moderates have proposed LGBTQ+ certification for Stockholm's home care services to ensure respectful treatment and a safe environment for all seniors, regardless of sexual orientation or identity. The district administration in Hägersten-Älvsjö is positive about the idea but notes that such training needs to be adapted for home care, as its current form is costly and time-consuming.

The City of Stockholm plans to adopt a new food program to ensure good, healthy, and climate-smart food for both residents and those working in city operations. The program will focus on sustainable meals within the city's own services (like schools and elderly care) and "Food City Stockholm," which aims to help everyone in the city make sustainable food choices. The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council has responded positively but suggests clearer guidelines for local produce and more support for professional development.

The Moderates in Hägersten-Älvsjö questioned why elderly care in the district has shown large surpluses for several years and if these funds could be used to improve quality. The administration explained the surpluses are due to fewer elderly needing services than projected and more efficient working methods, adding that while funds cannot be directly transferred due to city budget principles, they are positive about future quality improvements if the budget is adjusted to the growing number of elderly.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council has authorized 41 social workers at the Social Emergency Services to request police assistance in specific situations. This applies to cases such as compulsory care for substance abusers (LVM), taking young people into care (LVU), and implementing decisions to place children in sheltered housing. The decision enables these officials to call upon police support when necessary to protect individuals and carry out crucial interventions.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council has appointed specific managers and team leaders within child, youth, and family services. These individuals are authorized to request police assistance to enforce decisions regarding compulsory care of young people (LVU) or the placement of children in sheltered housing. This ensures quick enforcement when needed, for instance, if parents or children are uncooperative, or if a child goes missing.

The City of Stockholm plans to establish twelve new service apartments for individuals with disabilities in the Fader Bergström block in Hägersten, expected to be completed by 2028. These apartments will help address a significant shortage of such housing in the city, with the estimated annual rent for these units totaling approximately 1.8 million SEK.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council has approved a 9.7 million SEK renovation of the wading pool at Lugnet playground in Västertorp. The current pool fails water quality standards due to runoff from a rockface, so it will be rebuilt with a new terrazzo bottom and relocated away from the rock, aiming for completion by the 2026 bathing season.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council has approved a 12-million-kronor renovation of Långbroparken playground, also known as Äventyrsparken, in Långbro. Scheduled between 2026 and 2028, the dilapidated playground will be rebuilt to include age-appropriate equipment, natural play elements, specific experiences for children with disabilities, and a permanent outdoor gym for adults.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council is distributing just over SEK 1.4 million in operating grants to local associations for 2026. A total of 27 associations will receive funding to strengthen cultural and associational life in the district and offer residents activities. Among those receiving the largest grants are Midsommargården (SEK 150,000), Eolshälls 4H-gård (SEK 130,000), and Vintervikens Trädgård ideell förening (SEK 100,000). Two associations, Sannadals sportklubb and OK Älvsjö Örby, will not receive operating grants but are instead referred to the Sports Committee and event support, respectively.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council has approved its activity report and financial statements for 2025, forwarding them to the City Executive Board and the city auditors. The council reports a surplus of 65.2 million SEK and believes most of the City Council's goals for the year were met, either fully or partially. They request that 74.8 million SEK from the surplus be carried over to 2026.

A citizen has suggested measures to improve safety at Enbacksparken in Hägersten, noting that cars and mopeds frequently drive onto a pedestrian path near a preschool, playground, and schoolyard. The administration proposes investigating the possibility of installing a physical barrier to block traffic and enhance safety for children in the area.

The Farsta City District Board has reviewed a compilation of decisions made independently by the City District Director. These decisions include the procurement of hostel places and emergency housing for the homeless, impacting residents in need of temporary accommodation. The Board filed the information.

Farsta's Pensioner Council discussed new initiatives and challenges for seniors, including the new "Elderly Pilot" service designed to guide seniors on support, activities, and independent living, such as transport and home care. The council was also informed about an upcoming user survey on eldercare and engaged in a dialogue about staffing and language skills within eldercare.

The Liberals propose that Stockholm introduce more summer pedestrian streets and squares to create a more vibrant city environment, benefit trade, and increase safety. Farsta district administration supports this, suggesting Karlandaplan, Gubbängstorget, and Stig Trenters torg in Farsta as potential locations. They emphasize ensuring public transport accessibility and involving residents and businesses in the planning.

The City of Stockholm proposes establishing a 12.2-hectare forest area in Gökdalen, Farsta, as a biotope protection area to safeguard old trees and rich biodiversity, including rare species. This will preserve the forest for recreation while prohibiting harmful activities and ensuring the area is managed to protect its natural values.

The City of Stockholm proposes a new food program to make meals served in preschools, schools, and elder care, as well as residents' food choices, healthier, climate-smart, and environmentally friendly. Farsta district administration supports this but requests clearer purchasing rules, more staff training, and better communication to help both city operations and residents choose sustainable food.

The Farsta City District Committee will sign a new agreement with four local associations – FOC Farsta Fotboll, Farsta Scoutkår, Farsta IBK, and Hammarby Basket – to organize nighttime patrols in 2026. This initiative aims to increase safety in Farsta by having more adults present outdoors in the evenings and at night, which is expected to reduce disturbances and improve contact with children and young people. The city will contribute 1500 SEK per patrol night to the associations.

The Farsta District Council is updating its internal procedures for handling deficiencies and abuses within social services and LSS operations (Lex Sarah cases). This means serious issues will be reported to the council faster, and the District Director will be responsible for reporting severe abuses to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO). Furthermore, the municipality's obligation to report unsuitable care providers to IVO is expanded from only personal assistance to include all licensed operations within SoL and LSS, strengthening care oversight.

The Farsta City District Committee has decided to procure winter road maintenance and other park maintenance services. This ensures that parks, green spaces along traffic routes, and park paths in Farsta will continue to be maintained by external contractors, keeping them clean and accessible year-round. This procurement is a collaboration with several southern city districts to achieve economies of scale.

Farsta District Council evaluated nine of its own operations for individuals with disabilities and social psychiatry during 2023, including service housing like Brattforsgatan and group housing in Sköndal, as well as day activities such as STUDIO.it. The results indicate that the operations are generally safe and secure, with good user participation and well-trained staff. However, there's a need to clarify and implement certain routines, a process already underway, and the administration believes ongoing competence development and a new management structure will enhance quality and user rights.

The Farsta District Council has approved a report on user surveys from 2025, which showed that disabled individuals under 65 in Farsta are generally satisfied with home care and short-term stays, although satisfaction is slightly lower than the city average. These results, including improved satisfaction with case managers, will be used to continuously develop and enhance care services.

The 2025 user survey for Farsta district's park playgrounds, youth centers, and open preschools shows that visitors are generally very satisfied and feel safe in the activities, which are seen as important social meeting places. Although more children and young people feel involved, 19 percent of adults perceive safety deficiencies in the outdoor environment of park playgrounds, which the administration will work to improve during 2026. There are also requests for better equipment in park playgrounds, longer opening hours at open preschools, and a continued focus on increasing girls' participation in youth centers.

The City of Stockholm, in collaboration with Nacka Municipality, has adopted a local action program for Strömmen to improve its water quality. Strömmen currently suffers from poor ecological and chemical status due to pollution from urban environments, storm and wastewater, and contaminated sediments. The program proposes measures to reduce the spread of environmental toxins and enhance habitats for plants and animals, aiming for cleaner water in the long term, despite potentially significant costs.

The Farsta District Council proposes significant investments in three parks between 2027 and 2029 to enhance local areas. Plans include an activity park at Farstaängen (approx. SEK 27.4 million), an improved beach park at Farstaängsvägen (approx. SEK 29.5 million) with more accessible waterfront areas, and new entrances to the future Majroskogen nature reserve (approx. SEK 10 million). These projects aim to provide more recreation, increased accessibility, and a safer environment for Farsta residents.

The Farsta District Council has approved its 2025 activity report and financial statement, showing a surplus of SEK 3.5 million. The council decided to reallocate SEK 0.8 million, originally for upgrading a playground in Forsängen, to projects including lighting for the Fagersjö exercise track, citizen proposals, and renovating wading pools. Furthermore, funds were reallocated for renovating park paths and another playground, with an accumulated net of SEK 13.4 million carried over to 2026.

A citizen suggested clearing undergrowth and felling trees at Kojparken playground in Farsta to make it brighter and safer. The Farsta City District Committee decided to clear undergrowth around the playground but will not fell any trees. This is because the trees are considered important for biodiversity in an ecologically particularly significant area.

A citizen proposed building a dog park in Gubbängsparken to provide a safe space for the area's many dog owners and enliven the park in the evenings. Farsta City District Administration supports the idea but suggests a western placement to minimize disturbance for residents and potentially relocate an existing dog park in Tallkrogen. The estimated cost of 700,000 SEK is not budgeted for 2026, but the administration intends to seek funding for construction in 2027.

A citizen proposed that the Farsta District Council develop a plan to renovate and restore the tree population in Sköndal, noting that many trees have been lost or damaged near the Willys shopping center and along Sandåkravägen, reducing green spaces and noise protection. The Farsta District Administration suggests referring the citizen's proposal to the administration for further preparation and processing.

The City of Stockholm is preparing a new action plan to become a more age-friendly city, aiming to ensure older residents can live active, safe, and participatory lives free from ageism, focusing on areas like housing, urban environment, and social community according to the WHO model. Enskede-Årsta-Vantör's Senior Citizen Council welcomes this ambition but calls for more concrete proposals on how to achieve these goals and a clearer focus on the diversity of older people.

The Liberals propose a "District Boost" to expand the city's anti-crime and insecurity efforts beyond Järva to other vulnerable areas like Hagsätra and Skärholmen, requesting a clear action plan. The District Administration agrees on the need for broader initiatives but believes the city already focuses on similar areas in southern Stockholm, suggesting that existing structures be further developed rather than introducing a new parallel system.

The City of Stockholm has developed a new food program, "Good food for health, climate, and environment," to guide more sustainable meals in preschools, schools, and elder care. This program sets ambitious goals, including increasing organic food, reducing climate impact from food by 40% by 2030, and minimizing food waste. While the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration welcomes the program, they suggest improvements such as a wider range of organic products in procurement, clearer guidelines for food waste and local produce, and reviewed routines to ensure safe meals for children with allergies.

The City of Stockholm is adopting a local action program to improve the poor water quality in Strömmen, which is currently polluted by metals and chemicals, among other things. The program proposes measures such as cleaning contaminated bottoms, purifying stormwater from roads and the city, and improving habitats for animals and plants, aiming to meet EU environmental water standards and ensure a healthy aquatic environment for residents, which will also facilitate future housing development in the city.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district council plans to open a "Fritidsbanken" in Högdalen by September 2026, where residents can borrow sports and outdoor equipment for free. They have approved leasing a premises at Skebokvarnsvägen 370 for 0.7 million SEK annually, and to facilitate a swift start, renovations up to 1.5 million SEK are authorized to begin immediately, even before the final lease agreement is complete.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör City District Committee plans to procure services for winter road maintenance and certain park upkeep, such as grass cutting in public areas and roadside maintenance. This procurement will be done in collaboration with the Farsta, Skarpnäck, and Skärholmen City District Administrations. This means that snow removal and some park maintenance tasks will continue to be handled by external contractors, even as the district takes over the majority of park maintenance in-house from 2026.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council decided to permanently move Sturebacken's LSS group home from Tussmötevägen 120D to Tussmötevägen 173 in Stureby by March 2026. This move is necessary due to resident disturbances at the current address, which led to legal action. The six residents, who have acquired brain injuries, will benefit from new, adapted premises and a lower monthly rent of approximately SEK 6,000-7,000.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council reviewed its 2025 operations and finances, largely meeting its targets. They approved an activity report detailing new safety investments in Enskede and Hagsätra, and a new day activity center at Bersågränd 9 with an annual rent of 3.8 million SEK. The Council also decided against renewing a park investment contract due to an entrepreneur's (Spectra Sverige AB) unreasonabily high pricing.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council needs to elect a new vice-chair and a substitute for its social delegation because the previous vice-chair, Nadin Fakhro (L), has resigned. This delegation makes decisions concerning residents' personal or financial circumstances, such as care for young people or substance abusers, and placing children in sheltered housing.

Politicians from the Moderate Party, Centre Party, and Liberal Party have requested a report on the costs and timeline for the new administrative building in Rågsved, whose occupancy has been delayed until autumn 2028. They expressed concern over rising costs and the need for financial discipline in the project. The district administration responded that despite the delay, they have control over costs and that the future rent for the new building is considered competitive compared to the market.

A citizen proposed establishing a second-hand exchange station in Rågsved, for example at Rågsved centrum, where residents could swap used items like clothes. The district administration views the proposal positively, as it benefits both the climate and community, but believes a suitable location and storage solutions need closer investigation to ensure the station can be kept clean and safe.

Children from Paletten preschool in Hagsätra suggested installing a trash can by the forest next to the preschool due to a lot of dog waste and litter. The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration welcomes the proposal and recommends placing a new trash can at the suggested location to improve the local environment.

This balance sheet provides an overview of matters the Bromma District Council plans to address in 2026. The list covers a range of issues affecting residents, such as the 2027 budget, traffic changes, snow removal, new outdoor gyms and ice rinks, park maintenance, and important social and elderly care matters, including reports on serious crimes within home care services.

This item reports on decisions made by officials within the Bromma City District Administration under delegated authority. These decisions cover various referrals concerning permits for a new public sauna raft in Lake Mälaren, events such as a flea market, a festival at Björklunds Hage, and an Easter event for children, as well as installations like advertising display cases and a kayak vending machine. Decisions regarding excavation work and private sewage systems are also included.

Bromma residents have proposed several ideas to the district council, including a new "king-game" court in Blackebergsparken, safer playgrounds, and webcasting council meetings for greater transparency. Additionally, suggestions to make Bergslagsvägen near Åkeshov swimming hall two-way and to convert Bromma Airport into a large recreational area have been forwarded to relevant offices for investigation.

Stockholm's Council for Disability Issues met, expressing a desire for greater involvement in decisions affecting people with disabilities, specifically requesting earlier insight into matters such as urban accessibility and staffing in group homes. Separately, the Hässelby-Vällingby City District Administration reported a reduction in vulnerable areas and successful initiatives enabling individuals within social psychiatry and LSS to find employment or more independent housing.

The Bromma Senior Citizens' Council has emphasized that new residential areas like Bällsta Hamn and Tegelsjö must be designed to be age-friendly, prioritizing accessibility, elevators, and proximity to services. The council also advocates for free premises for senior organizations, increased support for family caregivers, more communal lunches, and a greater variety of senior activities such as a senior fair and summer events, to foster a more age-friendly city.

This matter is a list of various reports and protocols received by the Bromma City District Administration. Noted items include a request to SL to introduce a temporary swim bus line to Ängbybadet for summer 2026. The Municipal Executive Board's Pensioner Council also discussed important issues such as background checks for employment in elderly care, the city's food strategy, and how Stockholm can become a more age-friendly city.

The Bromma District Council has decided to write off unpaid fees totaling approximately SEK 1.64 million from its accounting records. These funds were receivables from various sources including preschool activities, elder care, and social services. While the write-off removes these amounts as expected income from the administration's accounting, it does not cancel the payment obligations for those who owe the money.

Bromma district administration is reorganizing the premises for the Blackeberg Employment Center on Johan Tillanders väg, which offers social services support. This involves renting fewer buildings as home care moves to new premises on Björnssonsgatan in Blackeberg and a conference operation closes down. The goal is to improve the work environment, increase quality, and save money, while maintaining all current employment opportunities and activities for residents.

Bromma City District Administration reviewed the quality of six municipal elderly care homes and day centers, including Traneberg, Brommagården, and Mälarbacken, in 2025. The overall assessment is that these services maintain good and safe quality, with most residents and guests very satisfied with their security and staff interactions. Minor areas for improvement include increasing seniors' influence over activities and providing clearer information regarding meals.

The Liberals, through Sara Svanström, propose that the City of Stockholm enhance safety at dangerous pedestrian crossings to reduce injuries and fatalities among pedestrians, especially those with disabilities. The motion calls for the city to identify the most hazardous crossings, prioritize improvements like better signage, lighting, audible signals, and raised crosswalks, and then implement these measures.

The Bromma District Council is considering a proposal to protect roughly 6.8 hectares of forest in Åkeslund as a biotope protection area, aiming to preserve its natural values and biodiversity, including ancient trees and vital habitats. While generally positive, the council seeks clarification on maintenance funding and proposes a three-meter protective buffer from building facades.

The City Planning Administration proposes a detailed development plan for Bällsta Hamn in the Ulvsunda industrial area, transforming it into a mixed-use district with approximately 1400 new homes, a primary school, three preschools, parks, and a town square. The Bromma District Administration supports the proposal but has concerns regarding preschool planning, the design and management of parks, and the need for safety and community services for residents.

The Bromma District Council has responded to a proposal for two new residential buildings with approximately 50 apartments and ground-floor retail or services on Tranebergsvägen in Ulvsunda, also making a small connecting street public. The Council is largely positive but stresses the importance of selecting the right ground-floor business, improving pedestrian paths, reviewing accessibility, and notes the demolition of two villas, one of which is culturally significant.

The City of Stockholm is updating its food strategy to encourage healthier eating, reduce the city's environmental impact, and strengthen food security. This means city operations like schools and elderly care will serve more sustainable food with a lower climate footprint and less waste. The city will also make it easier for residents and visitors to choose sustainable food by promoting urban farming, sustainable gastronomy, and improving food environments in public spaces.

The Liberals propose expanding Stockholm's "City District Boost" initiative beyond its current focus on Järva to include more vulnerable areas like Skärholmen, Hässelby-Vällingby, Bredäng, and Hagsätra, where crime and insecurity have also risen. This aims to enhance safety, improve public services, and maintain public spaces through a concrete action plan with clear goals for all involved committees and companies.

The Moderates propose that the City of Stockholm initiate negotiations with Region Stockholm and the Swedish Transport Administration, among others, to resolve the difficult traffic situation at Brommaplan. The aim is to find a long-term, comprehensive solution for this heavily congested transport hub in Västerort, which currently causes long queues and increased travel times for both motorists and public transport users.

The Liberals and Center Party in Bromma, represented by Hanna Wistrand and Stefan Ennerfelt, have proposed that the Bromma District Council improve its dialogue with the Pensioners' Council and the Disability Council. They suggest annual meetings between the councils and the full district board to better integrate their perspectives and foster a more inclusive Bromma. The District Administration supports this proposal, believing it strengthens the participation of seniors and people with disabilities.

The Liberals asked the Bromma district council how many days there would be skateable ice on the flooded rinks in Bromma, given milder winters, and how many locations are flooded. The administration responded that it's difficult to give an exact number of days as it depends on the weather, but they flood a total of 14 locations for ice rinks in Bromma. Flooding for the current season was delayed due to the late arrival of cold weather.

The Liberals asked the Bromma district administration about their work to promote health and prevent illness among the elderly. The administration responded that they collaborate with the Sports Administration and local associations to offer activities and health consultations to seniors in Bromma, including at senior fairs and through wellness instructors from the swimming pools. This work is primarily led by the preventative unit, and while Motivational Interviewing (MI) is used, the FINGER model is being withheld to allow for a coordinated city-wide strategy.

The Bromma District Council has considered a proposal from the Liberals, Moderates, and Centre Party to allow pensioner organizations to use Ungdomens hus (Youth House) during the day when it is empty. The administration is positive towards supporting community life but states that rentals must adhere to clear rules regarding equal treatment and democratic conditions. Currently, there are no established routines to vet organizations as required to implement such a proposal.

The Bromma District Council has responded to a citizen proposal for affordable, communal lunches for seniors in Blackeberg to combat loneliness. While the council views the idea positively and agrees on the importance of social interaction, they currently lack the capacity to offer *additional* specific lunch gatherings beyond existing activities and collaborations. However, they will continue to investigate possibilities throughout the year.

A citizen proposed installing dim red lighting along the nature trail by the water in Judarskogen Nature Reserve, similar to Årstaskogen, to enhance safety for dog owners and others in the evenings. The Bromma City District Council rejected the proposal because lighting contradicts the reserve's purpose and conservation regulations, could disturb wildlife and ecosystems, and Judarskogen is currently being investigated for designation as a dark-sky reserve.

A citizen proposal suggested a youth council for Bromma. Bromma City District Administration responded that they already established a youth council in 2023 for 13–17 year olds to participate and exert influence. This council meets monthly, has organized events like a food and music festival in Alvik, and is set to gain even greater influence going forward.

A citizen proposed "dialogue lunches" where young people in Bromma could meet politicians to influence decision-making. Bromma City District Administration responded that they already have a youth council since 2025 for 13 to 17-year-olds to meet politicians and raise important issues. The administration is positive about developing more meeting formats like dialogue lunches to bridge the gap between young people and politicians.

The Bromma District Council has authorized selected politicians, including Chairman Johan Heinonen (S) and Vice Chairman Mattias Keresztesi (M), to make urgent decisions regarding children requiring placement in protected housing. This ensures rapid action on where children will reside, maintaining confidentiality of their location, and requesting police assistance if needed, especially with new legislation demanding swift responses for acute protection.

The Bromma District Council has delegated decision-making power to five politicians (Johan Heinonen (S), Magnus Ljungkvist (S), Rose-Marie Rooth (V), Mattias Keresztesi (M), and Alexander Saednia (M)). This is to enable them to quickly make urgent decisions concerning compulsory care for young people (LVU) and substance abusers (LVM), as well as decisions on restricted visitation. The purpose is to allow swift action in acute situations when the full council cannot convene.

The Bromma District Council has updated its social delegation following Stina Andersson (S)'s resignation. Magnus Ljungkvist (S) has been appointed as the new chairperson, with Petter Jennervall (S) becoming an ordinary member and Albin Ringstad (S) a new substitute in the delegation.

The Bromma District Council has updated its internal delegation rules to align with a new management structure in elderly care, allowing lower-level managers and officers to make certain decisions. This means that assistant unit managers or officers can now decide on matters such as rent payment deferrals for users, and interventions like housing support and nursing home placements.

The Bromma District Council is set to approve its activity report and financial statement for 2025, detailing the district's work towards Stockholm's goals in welfare, preschools, elderly care, environment, and safety. The council is also requesting reallocations totaling 1 million SEK for post-power line collapse measures, park improvements near a preschool, and upgrades to the pedestrian bridge and promenade in Johannesfred.

The Stockholm Election Committee plans to offer early voting at 45 locations for the 2026 election, primarily at elderly care homes, detention centers, and other institutions. This initiative aims to assist individuals who have difficulty reaching standard polling stations. The administration has contacted all relevant facilities to confirm a minimum of 10-15 eligible voters at each site. Voting hours will be published on val.se.

Stockholm is planning to have 54 early voting locations for the 2026 election, one more than for the 2024 EU election. While many of these will be libraries, temporary barracks will also be set up in popular squares like Odenplan and Liljeholmstorget, building on their success from the previous election. The goal is to make voting more accessible for Stockholm residents through good geographical distribution and extended opening hours from August 26 to September 13, 2026.

The Stockholm Election Board has presented its operational report for 2025. The main focus was preparing for the 2026 election, including decisions on electoral districts and polling districts, ballot handling, and staff recruitment. The board reported a small deficit of 0.1 million SEK for the year and also implemented measures to improve accessibility, environmental responsibility, and data protection related to the election.

Stockholm's Cemetery Administration reports that the environmental remediation of hazardous substances at the Woodland Crematorium in the Woodland Cemetery is almost complete, with construction ongoing both indoors and outdoors despite the snow. It was discovered that the facade stone on the Monument Hall's pillars needs replacing, which will impact the timeline for that specific part of the project. The total project budget remains at 292 million SEK.

The City of Stockholm has developed an action plan for 2030 to strengthen children's rights and influence, aiming to counteract discrimination and promote equal living conditions for all children. The plan focuses on increasing knowledge of children's rights among city employees, improving welfare and services for vulnerable children, and ensuring children's participation in issues affecting them. The Cemeteries Department has issued a positive statement, supporting the action plan.

The Cemeteries Committee has been tasked with commenting on the City of Stockholm's action plan for an age-friendly city. The plan aims to ensure older people have the same human rights as others and that the city becomes more inclusive, accessible, and safe for them. The Cemeteries Administration supports the plan, which covers areas such as participation, social inclusion, housing and urban environment, and communication.

The City Audit has reviewed how the Cemeteries Committee and other municipal companies and committees manage property maintenance. The audit found that the Cemeteries Committee lacks a clear plan and consolidated information for prioritizing and carrying out maintenance work, which risks important decisions being made on insufficient grounds. The Cemeteries Administration agrees with the criticism and has begun implementing a new IT system, Planima, to better plan and document property maintenance and ensure the properties' function is maintained.

The Cemeteries Committee will revise its delegation of authority, an internal guide outlining who can make decisions within the administration. These changes adapt the order to a new organizational structure taking effect in 2025 and 2026, updating the types of decisions officials can make, particularly concerning burial rights and monuments, and making linguistic adjustments for readability.

The Cemeteries Committee has approved additional financial support for the maintenance of burial grounds belonging to Hedvig Eleonora Parish and the Diocese of Stockholm. A total of SEK 2,838,947 will be distributed in 2026, designated for purposes such as restoring historically significant graves at Hedvig Eleonora cemetery and renovating fences at St. Jacob's cemetery.

The City of Stockholm is revising its cemetery regulations, clarifying the distinction between full, limited, and no burial rights. Key changes include the elimination of "pre-purchasing" grave sites and restricting burial in Sandsborg Cemetery's ash grove to Stockholm residents only (with an exception for spouses). These rules will be reviewed annually to ensure they remain current.

The Cemeteries Committee presented its 2025 activity report, showing they largely met their goals, including creating youth employment and reducing their climate impact by using more electric vehicles. They also decided against constructing a new ceremony hall at Strandkyrkogården due to a decrease in funeral services.

The Cemeteries Committee has received a list of decisions made by the administration since the last meeting. These decisions, which are purchases over 100,000 SEK, must be reported to the committee according to the delegation order. The list includes purchases from suppliers such as Restaurang Josefina, Fonus, Ignis Begravningsbyråer, the Culture Committee, and Maskinparken Sverige AB.

This is an administrative item where the Cemeteries Committee notes various received decisions, judgments, and letters since the last meeting. These include disputes concerning burial, a decision to move a grave, permission to fell trees in Brännkyrka cemetery, and a decision on an hourly fee for supervision at Järva burial ground.

The Disability Council reviewed and approved Stockholm’s Cemetery Board's 2026 operational plan, which aims to make cemeteries safe, well-maintained, and accessible, including improving accessibility and biodiversity. The Council also highlighted the need for crutch holders at service points and clearer signage for individuals with invisible disabilities. Additionally, meeting times for 2026 and the action list, which includes completed or ongoing accessibility measures like nearly finished bus stop adaptations, were approved.

This is a meeting protocol from the Cemetery Administration's management group meeting on February 9, 2026. The meeting primarily focused on establishing the agenda and adjusting the minutes from the previous meeting. The group also received updates on ongoing training for safety inspections and a revision to the administrative local agreement on the work environment.

The Cemeteries Committee approved the agenda and selected attestors for the minutes. The Committee also presented several minutes from previous meetings, including from the Committee's meeting on October 1st, and minutes from the Administration Group and the Disability Council.

The City Executive Board has approved 77.1 million SEK for safety-enhancing measures in Stockholm in 2026. This funding will support 46 projects across various city committees, focusing on improving lighting, upgrading parks and underpasses, and creating more meeting places in insecure areas. Special priority has been given to areas identified by the police as vulnerable or having open drug scenes.

The City Executive Board has approved Bromma District Council's application to lease premises at Bergslagsvägen 49 for in-house park maintenance. This entails demolishing the current office building and replacing it with a new pavilion for offices, vehicles, and equipment. The annual rent for the land and pavilion will be approximately SEK 646,000 the first year, for a ten-year lease, plus one-off establishment and adaptation costs of about SEK 3.9 million.

The City of Stockholm has decided to cancel the project to develop the area around Gullmarsplan and Nynäsvägen in Johanneshov, as a financially sustainable solution for the urban transformation, particularly the costly covering of Nynäsvägen, could not be found. This results in 22.4 million SEK already spent on investigations being written off as fruitless costs. Despite the cancellation, the city will continue its collaboration with Region Stockholm regarding Gullmarsplan's role as a public transport hub.

The City of Stockholm is planning a national football center in eastern Kista, specifically in the Akalla 4:1 area, by allocating land to the Swedish Football Association for pitches and surrounding areas, with indoor facilities and offices to follow.

The City Executive Board's Economy and Security Committee has approved the Hägersten-Älvsjö City District Council's application to lease a new premise in Fruängen, at Ellen Keys gata 48, for a "Fritidsbank." This facility will allow residents, especially children and young people, to borrow sports and leisure equipment like skis, skates, and football boots for free. The annual rent will be SEK 1.5 million under a five-year agreement, with the Fritidsbank expected to open in spring 2026.

The City of Stockholm plans to lease the property De Gamlas Vänner 7 in Enskede to serve as a communal evacuation residence for the city's care homes, due to extensive renovation needs in existing facilities. The first year's lease will cost SEK 9.8 million, with an additional SEK 16.8 million allocated for adapting the premises into a care home with 66 apartments. The initial evacuation, from Kungsholmen district council, is anticipated for spring 2027.

The City District Committee of Farsta and the Social Welfare Committee plan to lease 13 new service apartments in the Klockelund 2 area of Farsta. These apartments, intended for individuals with disabilities requiring round-the-clock support, are expected to be ready by spring 2026. Farsta's City District Committee is also requesting 0.5 million SEK in start-up funding for the project, which will incur an estimated annual rent of 2.2 million SEK.

The City of Stockholm's financial monthly report shows total debt at SEK 86 billion in January 2026, an increase of SEK 1.25 billion since the start of the year, primarily due to major investments in water, traffic, and housing infrastructure. Despite this, the city maintains a high credit rating (AAA) due to sound cost control and increased tax revenues, ensuring favorable lending terms, with no deviations from financial frameworks or risk limits reported.

The Stockholm City Executive Board's Finance and Security Committee has approved the financial monthly report for December 2025. The report shows that the city's external borrowing increased by SEK 1.287 billion during the year, and by nearly SEK 20 billion since the current left-wing administration took office. The Moderates and Liberals express concern over the increased debt, which now approaches SEK 85 billion, and the high interest costs of approximately SEK 2 billion annually.

Region Stockholm plans to introduce overnight commuter trains on weekend nights starting August 2026, running until 2 AM and from 4 AM. Consequently, changes to the night bus network are proposed, with several radial night bus lines to and from Stockholm C being replaced by new local lines connecting to these night trains. The City of Stockholm supports this, believing it will boost the night economy and benefit night workers, but requests more details on the number of new bus departures and the reintroduction of certain previously removed bus services.

Stockholm's City Executive Board has reviewed Sollentuna Municipality's proposed action program against traffic noise for 2026-2030. Stockholm City believes the measures within Sollentuna will not directly impact Stockholm, but requests coordination and information should future actions have a direct effect. Overall, Stockholm City welcomes the initiative and views the proposed measures positively.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (L) proposed that Stockholm should focus more on making the urban environment accessible to all, especially people with disabilities, by addressing obstacles like construction debris and improving snow removal. The City Executive Board responded that the city is already working on these issues, citing a pilot project for misplaced construction sacks and improved brining of pedestrian and bicycle paths, and expects increased powers to address public obstructions through a future law change.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (Liberals) propose that the city allocate an additional SEK 10 million through the "School Peace" initiative to enhance school route safety, including improved crosswalks, lighting, expanded paths, and stricter speed limits near schools. Stockholm City Council responds that they already systematically address traffic safety around schools with an annual budget of SEK 15-20 million within the "Safe and Secure School Routes" project, though the Liberals deem this insufficient.

The City of Stockholm is updating its guidelines for out-of-hours childcare to improve service from a child's perspective, effective August 2026. These new rules will expand overnight care hours (5:30 PM - 7:30 AM), limit in-home care, offer clearer support for children with special needs, and increase parental responsibility for communication and shared custody for single parents. Additionally, private providers will no longer be allowed to offer this type of childcare.

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm act more forcefully to protect privately owned buildings of high cultural value, such as Spånga Järn- och Färg. This would involve new strategies, clearer guidelines, and increased possibilities for compulsory administration if properties are mismanaged. The majority, however, believes that existing tools in the Planning and Building Act can be used more effectively, and that it is the government's responsibility to potentially introduce sharper national legislation.

The Liberals proposed that Stockholm should protect associations from eviction due to rent hikes after renovations of culturally significant buildings, advocating for prioritizing renovation, adjusting the budget, and creating a cultural heritage fund. The red-green majority rejected the fund, asserting that existing initiatives and a new rental model, allowing the Culture Committee to become the primary tenant in key cultural properties, already address the issue more comprehensively than the presented proposal.

The Moderates have proposed that Stockholm city employees should be able toove to take leave of absence to become foster parents, and that the city should continuously market this opportunity. This aims to reduce the shortage of foster homes and the number of children placed in HVB homes, where quality is often questioned. The proposal cites Karlskrona municipality as a model, where municipal employees can take leave for the same purpose.

Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) propose closer ties between Stockholm's social services and research, suggesting a "research hub" where social workers and researchers collaborate at social welfare offices to improve quality and evaluate interventions, similar to academic health centers. The City and Stockholm University agree on the importance of research but believe existing, more flexible collaborations are effective, rendering a dedicated hub unnecessary; instead, they prioritize improving digital systems for data collection and analysis within social services.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) propose that the City of Stockholm investigates its involvement in the operations of the former boys' home Eolshäll, where boys were subjected to abuse between the 1970s and 1990s. They also suggest the city explores financial compensation for the victims, inspired by Norway's 'rettferdsvederlag' model. The City Executive Board and most referral bodies deem such an investigation too complex for the city alone, recommending a national inquiry instead, while the Moderates and Liberals, in reservations, criticize the majority's stance, arguing the city has both the capability and responsibility to act.

A motion by Jan Jönsson (L) proposed placing vocational programs in popular inner-city high schools, developing a strategy to make them more attractive, and training career counselors to increase student enrollment. The City Executive Board responded that the city is already working to strengthen vocational programs, citing the successful relocation of a sales and service program to Bromma Gymnasium, and that career counselors are already receiving ongoing training. They also noted challenges in establishing new inner-city vocational programs, including costs and potential competition with existing schools.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the City of Stockholm inventory all schoolyards and renovate them to ensure accessibility for all children, parents, and staff, especially those with disabilities. While the City Executive Office notes similar ongoing work, the Education Committee views an inventory positively but emphasizes the need for budgeted resources. The Social Services Committee and Funktionsrätt Stockholm also support making outdoor environments more inclusive.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that responsibility for costs for new access systems and school environment improvements like ventilation and soundproofing be shifted from schools to property owner SISAB, ensuring a basic safety standard and good work environment regardless of a school's finances. The majority of the City Executive Board supports moving access system costs to SISAB and a contract review is underway, but cautions that too many shifted costs could increase rents and reduce funds for education.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed creating a "Viva Lyceum healthcare" by merging Komvux and upper secondary healthcare programs to boost interest in healthcare professions, suggesting the city co-finance driving licenses for successful students, inspired by Skövde municipality. However, the majority in the City Executive Board and several committees rejected the proposal, citing existing efforts, lack of suitable premises at Kungsholmen's Västra gymnasium, and potential pedagogical challenges in mixing student groups. The Red-Greens noted that the city will already offer subsidized driving licenses for healthcare programs from autumn 2025, but they oppose merging the educational programs.

The City of Stockholm will respond to the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's report on introducing a national standard for classifying cases under the Planning and Building Act (PBL). The city supports a common, mandatory classification to increase transparency and efficiency in the building permit process but advises against a national case management system due to concerns about information security and municipal self-governance. The state should finance the costs of any new state-imposed requirements.

Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed that the City of Stockholm introduce a "building permit robot" to automate simpler permit applications, thereby shortening processing times for businesses and private individuals, and also investigate other automatable permit processes. The City Executive Board states that the city is already working on digitalizing and streamlining permit processes. However, the Center Party, Moderates, Liberals, and Christian Democrats have reserved their positions, believing the proposals should be adopted to accelerate this work.

A motion by SD politicians seeks to halt plans for approximately 140 new homes in Klubbensborgsbacken, Mälarhöjden, arguing the proposed development would ruin the area's character, natural values, and access to green spaces. The City Executive Board responded by highlighting the housing shortage and affirming that the project is following a democratic process where all viewpoints will be considered before the City Planning Committee makes a final decision.

The City of Stockholm rejects the proposal for a new organization of property formation activities (SOU 2025:98). The City's administrations, including the City Executive Office, Development Office, and Building and Planning Office, argue that the proposal would likely worsen Stockholm's urban development process and local considerations, and also lead to the probable closure of Stockholm's municipal land surveying office.

Two Liberal politicians, Björn Ljung and André Nilsson, proposed that Stockholm introduce a model allowing construction companies to pay for detailed development plans over time, rather than upfront, to help manage costs during downturns and boost building rates. However, the city rejected the motion, arguing that the current rolling invoicing model already provides transparency and predictability, that plan fees are a minor part of overall project costs, and that the decline in housing construction is primarily due to broader macroeconomic factors, not municipal fees.

Two Sweden Democrats politicians submitted a motion to halt plans for new housing in Långbro Park, Älvsjö, specifically on the Lågbron 1 property, arguing that the proposed construction would damage important park features and that existing café operations and gardens should be preserved. The City Executive Board responded that while the detailed plan for housing has already been cancelled, planning will continue to focus on establishing a public activity, such as a café, at the site.

The City of Stockholm welcomes Trafikverket's proposed changes to the classification of areas vital for transport as national interests, though it criticizes the lack of early involvement in the process. The city emphasizes the need to ensure these national interests do not impede the development of new housing and workplaces, particularly in areas like Norra Djurgårdsstaden and around Bromma Airport. Furthermore, Stockholm seeks to review and potentially reduce national interest designations in Frihamnen and at Masthamnen/Stadsgården to facilitate urban development.

The City Executive Board has approved its activity report and financial statements for 2025, which show a financial surplus of SEK 99.5 million, primarily due to lower costs for politicians and vacant positions. Additionally, SEK 94.6 million has been re-budgeted for district and party offices' operations in 2026, and SEK 93.8 million has been approved for IT development and preparedness measures. However, the Liberals and Centre Party criticize the report for not fully reflecting real challenges in schools, social services, security, and housing construction.

Two SD politicians proposed making the Rålambshov Park amphitheater a safer, year-round meeting place, suggesting a café, dance stage, and ice rink. The city responded that they are already working on activating and securing the area by clearing bushes, renovating the stands, establishing a dance floor, and creating a winter ice rink. They believe the amphitheater is good for events but requires interest from external actors to establish more permanent operations like cafés.

The City of Stockholm is reviewing its 2026 budget and goals to ensure all committees' and companies' plans align with the City Council's overarching objectives. This check aims to confirm ambitious enough targets are set, especially for welfare, safety, and climate transition, despite economic challenges and reduced government grants.

Two Centre Party members proposed a comprehensive upgrade of Valhallavägen, from Roslagstull to Hakberget, to improve traffic solutions, create green spaces, playgrounds, and bike paths by moving parking to garages, while also enhancing lighting, cleanliness, and winter road maintenance for increased safety. The City Executive Board believes many intentions are already covered by existing assignments, but other city areas have higher investment priority, and though the Traffic Committee sees a need for upgrades, it lacks the budget for a holistic approach.

The Centre Party proposed that Stockholm explore becoming a test city for self-driving cars, in collaboration with Waymo, to study the technology's potential and risks regarding safety, climate benefits, and congestion. However, the City Executive Board, Traffic Committee, and several district committees are against this, citing that the city already monitors developments internationally and lacks Swedish legislation. They prefer to await further authority investigations before initiating new pilot projects, especially since a similar application from Tesla was recently rejected due to infrastructure strain and public safety concerns.

The City of Stockholm is to respond to the Ministry of Justice's proposal to tighten maintenance requirements for family reunification. The City Executive Office advises against the new proposals, arguing they risk counteracting integration, causing more suffering for newcomers and their children, and increasing the need for social services. The Moderates and Sweden Democrats dissent, advocating for the city to approve the proposals to strengthen self-sufficiency and reduce exclusion.

Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed that Stockholm investigate building a multi-track for skiing, cycling, and parasports to create an accessible year-round training environment, especially for children, youth, para-athletes, and Vasaloppet participants. The City Executive Board acknowledges the great need for more sports facilities and notes that the Sports Department is already in dialogue with the Stockholm Ski Association regarding such a track, aligning with existing mandates to increase sports facilities. Therefore, the motion is considered addressed, meaning no new investigation is needed as the ongoing work will continue.

The Liberals, through Hanna Wistrand, propose that the City of Stockholm introduce special support for sports clubs affected by closed facilities during renovations, along with a long-term plan to increase access to sports facilities through temporary structures or subsidies for private ones. However, the city deems existing support and evacuation solutions sufficient, citing difficulties in fair distribution, ongoing work to strengthen club support, and an existing, updated strategy for sports facilities.

André Nilsson (L) proposed that the city investigate creating an artificial surf wave in Slussen to boost recreation, tourism, and activity in the city center. While previous studies confirmed technical feasibility, further investigations into safety, environmental impact, and economics were deemed necessary, as the wave must not disrupt Slussen's vital water regulation and boat traffic functions. The Municipal Board ultimately rejected advancing with a new investigation, citing these uncertainties and the need for more funding, despite acknowledging the inherent appeal of the idea.

This status report details Stockholm Vatten AB’s major project, "Stockholm’s Future Wastewater Treatment" (SFA), which aims to upgrade and expand Stockholm's wastewater treatment. The project, which includes closing the Bromma treatment plant and doubling the capacity of the Henriksdal plant, is on schedule and within budget, expected to be fully completed by 2031. It will manage wastewater for approximately 1.6 million people and meet stricter environmental requirements.

The City of Stockholm has been asked by the Ministry of Finance to comment on the Swedish Competition Authority's proposals to amend public procurement rules, aiming to make it easier for authorities to reject abnormally low or unserious bids. The City supports several proposals but rejects two: a "guideline rule" for identifying abnormally low bids and the proposal to make it mandatory to always reject such bids in certain procurements. This decision concerns formally responding to the referral based on the City's position.

Stockholm's City Executive Board has issued a statement regarding the Energy Markets Inspectorate's proposal for new gas market regulations. This proposal would replace current natural gas legislation with a new gas market act and ordinance, also covering biogas and hydrogen, to facilitate the transition to renewable and low-carbon gases. The City of Stockholm views this positively, as it supports the city's goal of being climate positive by 2030 and aligns with EU climate targets for 2050.

Two Center Party politicians proposed that the City of Stockholm freeze-dry leftover food from schools and elderly care homes to reduce waste and bolster crisis preparedness. They sought an investigation into implementing this city-wide, a pilot project in some schools, and the establishment of a municipal emergency stock of freeze-dried food. The City Executive Board responded that active work is already underway to reduce food waste and build food emergency stocks in schools and other operations, thus seeing no need for further investigations or pilot projects, partly due to the high investment costs of freeze-drying equipment.

The Elderly Care Committee has reported several decisions made by managers within the administration. Among other things, contracts have been terminated with the care provider Guldhjärtat Omsorg och Rehabilitering AB, and an ordering freeze has been implemented. Furthermore, Birgittas hemtjänst AB's application to provide home care services in the City of Stockholm has been denied, a decision that has now been appealed to the administrative court. A new contract has also been approved for a care provider under LOV (the Choice of Care System Act).

This document is a notification of minutes from the Disability Council's meetings on January 22nd and February 12th, 2026. Discussions included Stockholm's role as a model municipality for disability policy, LSS summer camp activities, and the development of a digital application service for support and services. The council raised concerns about children's participation, accessibility to sign language summer camps, and the need for clearer information about interventions.

The Municipal Council's Pensioner's Council (KPR) discussed the quality and development of elderly care in meetings held in January and February. Among other things, results from interviews with seniors and their relatives about what is important in care and support, such as security and knowledgeable staff, were presented. The council also raised issues concerning documentation of support talks for relatives, shortcomings in the food strategy, how the city should handle sexual assaults within home care, and the importance of pensioner's councils being involved in decision-making processes concerning seniors. The pensioner's councils are also planning a joint politician's Q&A session before the 2026 election to highlight issues relevant to seniors in the City of Stockholm.

The Elder Care Administration's consultation group, the Management Group, held two meetings discussing several issues related to elder care. They covered topics such as reducing the number of temporary employees, clarifying rules for work shoe subsidies, and the best ways to gather experiences to improve elder care overall. New language requirements within elder care and the upcoming budget were also discussed.

The Elderly Care Administration has responded to a government inquiry on reducing incorrect benefit payments through increased digitalization. The administration is positive about the proposals but foresees a risk that older individuals may receive reduced benefits during a transition period, especially if housing allowances are standardized, which could increase the need for municipal financial assistance or home care. They emphasize the importance of protecting individual privacy when data is shared.

The Elderly Care Committee decides to approve a response to a referral concerning an IT support system called Lifecare SP. This system will help make the transition safer and more efficient for patients discharged from hospitals who require continued care at home or in a nursing home. Municipalities will now also have a say in the system's development, with costs shared between Region Stockholm (81%) and the municipalities (19%) for the period 2026-2030.

The Elderly Care Committee has responded to the Municipal Executive Committee's proposal for a new action plan to make Stockholm a more age-friendly city. The plan aims to ensure that older people have the same rights as other groups, can participate in society, and have access to necessary care and services. The committee is positive about the plan, but suggests certain clarifications and that the Municipal Executive Committee coordinate the city's work.

The Elderly Care Committee has approved the administration's response to the Municipal Executive Committee's referral regarding a revised food strategy for Stockholm. The new strategy, titled 'Good Food for Health, Climate, and Environment – Stockholm City's Food Program,' will replace the existing food and meal policy for elderly care. The aim is for meals to be delicious, healthy, and climate-smart, focusing on reducing food-related emissions and increasing the proportion of organic products, though this may lead to increased costs for elderly care meals.

The Moderates have proposed that Stockholm's home care services be LGBTQ+-certified to ensure respectful treatment and safety for elderly LGBTQ+ individuals. The Elder Care Administration supports this proposal, emphasizing the importance of increasing knowledge about the situation of LGBTQ+ individuals within elder care. They will continue to develop training initiatives and aim to promote certification through RFSL, while also expanding collaboration with interest organizations.

Opposition politicians are questioning why they weren't informed about alleged rapes within Stockholm city's home care services, where employees are suspected of assaulting elderly women, and whether background checks could have prevented these incidents. The Elder Care Administration stated they are not responsible for individual cases but confirmed the district is being informed. They added that since 2024, reported sexual assaults in elderly care can be separated, with two cases occurring in 2024, and new regulations for background checks are being implemented in 2025/2026. The victims have been offered support.

Three council members from the Christian Democrats, Centre Party, and Moderate Party inquired about staffing levels in the elderly care sector of Norra innerstaden after full-time employment became the norm. They questioned whether media figures were misleading and if this truly meant more working hours. The Elderly Care Administration responded that most part-time employees have accepted full-time positions, and the number of full-time equivalents has increased by approximately 81 since November 2024, while temporary staff hours have decreased. Furthermore, no employee has resigned citing the full-time norm as the reason.

Two politicians from the Moderate and Liberal parties have inquired with the Elderly Care Administration about how good oral health is ensured for seniors in Stockholm's elderly care. They emphasize the National Board of Health and Welfare's report on the importance of dental care for the elderly and that staff in elderly care should receive professional development through "Äldreomsorgslyftet" (Elderly Care Lift). The Administration responds that oral health is an integrated part of the nursing assistant training and that Äldreomsorgslyftet contributes to staff gaining relevant knowledge to provide good oral care for seniors.

The Stockholm Elderly Care Committee proposes that new support services, such as health-promoting conversations and assistance for visual or hearing impairments, be offered to older residents starting March 1, 2026. These services will not require individual needs assessments, making them more accessible. The aim is to provide early, preventative support and simplify access to help for residents without extensive investigations.

The Elderly Care Committee has approved its annual report and financial statements for 2025. This signifies that the committee achieved its objectives for the year in elderly care, including improving and developing the quality of services. The committee is also requesting a budget adjustment of 3.8 million SEK for the so-called NU project, which aims to develop a new system for execution within elderly care.

The Social Services Administration has decided to extend the retention period for logs in the patient record system Vodok, which contain information about patient access and modifications, from the previous 10 years to 15 years. This change is due to the fact that the statute of limitations for aggravated data breaches is 15 years, and the administration wants to be able to investigate such offenses. The decision will be applied retroactively, and handling instructions will be updated accordingly.

Stockholm has been selected as one of ten model municipalities in Sweden to improve work for people with disabilities. The focus will be on employment, leisure activities, crime prevention, and schools to facilitate life for individuals with disabilities. The Council for Disability Issues also discussed the city's LSS summer camp activities and the possibility of offering sign language summer camps, to which the response was that individual needs have been attempted to be met but no specific assignment currently exists.

The Environmental Administration conducted an unannounced food inspection at Krukis Stödboende, Instrumentvägen 5, on January 20, 2026. The inspection found no deviations regarding food handling, hygiene, or premises. The results are public and will be displayed in the Livsmedelskollen app.

The Liberal Party proposed that Stockholm City develop more tailored support services for LGBTQI individuals, particularly transgender people and gay men, who sell sex, arguing that current support primarily focuses on the needs of heterosexual women and that LGBTQI individuals often have different reasons for prostitution and face distrust from authorities. The Social Welfare Administration acknowledges awareness of LGBTQI individuals' vulnerability but lacks specific tailored support for those selling sex, stating that support for sex workers is provided in a gender-neutral manner based on individual needs. The administration recognizes a continued need to educate staff, develop services, and collaborate with civil society to broaden support for this group.

The Social Services Committee must elect new members to two of its subcommittees for the remainder of 2026. This is because one member, Rashid Mohammed (Left Party), has switched positions between subcommittees, and a substitute position was previously left vacant. Consequently, new individuals need to be elected to fill these seats on the Permits Subcommittee and the Organization and Association Subcommittee.

The Stockholm Social Services Administration plans to introduce a new, intensive family intervention called Multisystemic Therapy - Child Abuse and Neglect (MST-CAN) for children aged 6 to 17 who are at risk of harm in their homes. This intervention, costing 55.4 million SEK over three years, aims to help families experiencing physical violence, neglect, or maltreatment improve their situation and avoid out-of-home placements for children. The project is set to launch in the spring of 2026 in the districts of Järva, Enskede-Årsta-Vantör, Hässelby-Vällingby, and Hägersten-Älvsjö, pending approval of funds from the Social Investment Fund.

The Social Welfare Committee in Stockholm has approved a supervision plan for 2026 concerning the sale of tobacco, low-alcohol beer, nicotine-free products, and certain over-the-counter medicines. The aim is to ensure that points of sale comply with laws and regulations through unannounced visits and test purchases, where individuals over 18 attempt to buy without identification. The plan prioritizes preventing non-compliance and informing retailers about current provisions, with a specific focus on outlets near schools.

The Social Services Administration in Stockholm has developed a supervision plan for 2026 outlining how they will ensure restaurants and bars with liquor licenses comply with alcohol laws. The goal is to reduce alcohol-related harm and enhance public safety. The plan includes preventive measures like information and education, internal checks on business finances, and on-site inspections to verify adherence to regulations concerning age, intoxication levels, and order. All licensed establishments will receive at least one visit annually, with those open late or with previous violations subject to more frequent inspections.

The Social Services Committee has followed up its collaboration with non-profit organizations supporting vulnerable EU and non-EU citizens in Stockholm during May-October 2025. The report indicates 6,644 overnight stays in night activities and 28,519 visits to day activities, with most visitors from Romania and Poland. While the number of unique individuals receiving assistance has increased, total overnight stays and daily visits have decreased compared to last year, partly due to reduced opening hours for day activities. The Social Services Committee proposes to approve this follow-up.

The Stockholm Social Services Committee proposes a pilot project for "flexible social support" without individual needs assessment. Residents aged 15 and over in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör, Järva, Skarpnäck, and Södermalm can receive practical assistance with things like forms, official contacts, and digital tools, up to five times. This aims to make social services more accessible and preventative, in line with the new social services law.

The Stockholm City Social Services Committee proposes that 16 different services, such as housing guidance, budget and debt counseling, support for victims of violence, and parenting support, be offered without individual needs assessments starting March 1, 2026. This means residents will be able to receive help faster and more easily. For certain services, like support for concerns about alcohol, drugs, or gambling, and support groups for children and relatives, no personal data will be documented to lower the threshold for seeking help.

This report summarizes the Disability Inspectorate's quality reviews for 2025, which focused on children's participation in LSS services and employment/open activities within social psychiatry. While the city largely adheres to guidelines, improvements are needed to involve individuals more in planning, ensure caregivers are acknowledged, and strengthen the child rights perspective in case management. The Social Welfare Board is proposed to approve the report and forward it to the City Executive Board and District Councils for use in ongoing quality improvement and potential competence initiatives.

The Social Services' annual report for 2025 indicates that individuals experiencing long-term homelessness and receiving financial assistance are receiving insufficient support due to a lack of collaboration between various stakeholders, particularly healthcare services. The report concludes that these individuals require more coordinated and individually tailored interventions with a holistic approach. The year also focused on strengthening children's participation in social services' work, and for 2026, a review is planned on how young people receive aftercare following placement.

The City of Stockholm is updating its guidelines for financial assistance, as the previous ones were from 2017. The new guidelines are clearer, focus on what is specific to Stockholm, and incorporate updates based on new legislation, aiming for more legally sound and equitable processing. Key changes include a "Stockholm norm" providing additional funds for food and leisure for children and youth aged 0-20, a special summer holiday allowance for children in families with long-term financial assistance, and ensuring that habilitation and apprentice compensation will not be counted as income when calculating assistance.

The Social Services Committee in Stockholm has approved its activity report for 2025. The report details the committee's work on meeting the City Council's goals, including preventive social services, crime prevention, measures against homelessness, and service digitalization. A key focus was implementing a new social services law emphasizing early interventions and improving collaboration between social services and schools to help children and youth achieve their educational objectives. The possibility of offering general escort services without individual need assessments was considered, but deemed unsuitable due to high costs, challenges in controlling usage, and organizational issues within the city's choice system.

Stockholm City aims to become more age-friendly so that all older people can thrive, participate in society, and feel secure. The Social Administration is positive towards the new action plan, which includes measures for homeless seniors. However, the Administration proposes that the plan also address older adults who experience domestic violence and those with substance abuse issues, as these groups require specific support.

Stockholm City has developed a new food program, "Good Food for Health, Climate, and Environment," to guide the city's work with food and meals. The program aims to promote healthy and sustainable meals within city operations, such as schools and elderly care, and to develop Stockholm as a vibrant food city with residents having access to healthier food with less environmental impact. The Social Services Administration supports the program but suggests clarifying the wording regarding "Social Services operations" to specify that it primarily applies to units that actually serve meals.

Local politicians Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén have proposed that Stockholm investigate a system similar to Uppsala's UppSam to better coordinate school support for children in foster care, including those from other municipalities. The aim is to provide these children with more stable schooling, as they often experience disruptions and lack of continuity. The Social Services Administration agrees with the problem description but believes Stockholm's existing support systems, such as SAMS, Skolfam, and school coordinators, are sufficient and should be strengthened instead.

The Moderates have proposed Stockholm implement "safety kiosks" at locations like subway stations, staffed by police, social services, and security guards. The aim is to locally increase safety through visible presence and facilitate cooperation among safety-promoting actors. However, the Social Services Administration believes existing cooperation functions well and that mobile work is more effective than fixed kiosks in meeting needs as they arise.

The Liberal party proposed a "district lift" to broaden efforts in vulnerable Stockholm areas beyond the current focus on Järva, requesting a plan with specific goals for safety, schools, housing, and social services in neighborhoods like Bredäng, Hagsätra, and Hässelby-Vällingby. While the social services department agrees more resources are needed, they believe the current plan already addresses this with designated focus areas and prefer to await an evaluation of these areas in 2026 before implementing new action plans.

The City of Stockholm is implementing an action plan to improve the unsatisfactory ecological and chemical water quality in Strömmen, currently impacted by pollution from various sources including harbor areas, traffic, and wastewater. The program proposes concrete measures such as purifying contaminated seabed sediments, enhancing stormwater management, and creating better habitats for flora and fauna. While costs are estimated in the hundreds of millions of kronor, funding decisions will be made continuously through the city's regular processes.

This matter concerns the follow-up of Stockholm's chemical plan for 2025–2031. The Sweden Democrats, via Anders Edin, inquired how the committee ensures the plan is actively monitored, deficiencies addressed, and not merely a formality. The Environment Department replied that the chemical plan is integrated into the city's environmental program, with specific committees and companies responsible for achieving the goal of reduced harmful substance use, and a follow-up for 2025 is underway and will be reported in the spring.

The Environmental Administration has responded to the Municipal Board's referral regarding an action plan to make Stockholm a more age-friendly city. The Administration approves the plan but emphasizes the importance of climate adaptation in homes and urban environments, especially given the vulnerability of older people during heatwaves. They want the city to more clearly consider indoor climate when planning new housing for seniors, to avoid the high-temperature problems often seen in newly built apartments.

The Stockholm City Council is set to designate Majroskogen as a nature reserve. This approximately 58.6-hectare area, located between Svedmyra, Tallkrogen, Gubbängen, Hökarängen, Stureby, and Bandhagen, will be protected to preserve its biodiversity and secure a vital recreational space for residents. The decision includes specific rules regarding activities such as lighting fires and dog walking, along with a management plan to maintain and enhance its natural value.

The City Planning Committee proposes a detailed development plan for the Hjulsta interchange in Akalla and Hjulsta to expand E18 on/off-ramps and add a new ramp from Förbifart Stockholm, aiming to improve traffic flow and connectivity between Stockholm and Järfälla, and to create a new pedestrian and bicycle path. The Environment and Health Protection Committee has submitted comments emphasizing the need for the plan to clarify the impact on protected natural areas, particularly for bats and birds, and to ensure the maximum possible preservation of natural land.

The City of Stockholm welcomes the Ministry of Climate and Enterprise's proposal for digital solutions for environmental code supervision and reporting, aiming to simplify processes for municipalities by centralizing data submission. However, the City emphasizes the need to clarify responsibilities for personal data, public access, and secrecy, and to thoroughly analyze security risks associated with the large volume of data to be stored centrally.

The Environmental and Health Protection Committee proposes that the City of Stockholm continue collecting construction and demolition waste alongside bulky refuse of the same material type, such as a broken wooden chair and wood scraps, at recycling centers and via mobile services. This aims to simplify proper sorting for residents and reduce transportation, which is expected to yield better environmental outcomes. The proposal, an amendment to the city's waste regulations, will now be sent to the City Council for final approval.

The Environmental Administration has reviewed and approved the revised food strategy for the City of Stockholm, now titled "The City of Stockholm's Food Program – Good Food for Health, Climate, and Environment." This program outlines how the city will ensure all food served in municipal operations, such as schools and elder care, is sustainable, healthy, and climate-smart, while also encouraging residents to make more sustainable food choices.

The Environment and Health Protection Committee has approved its annual report and financial statement for 2025, showing a surplus of 1.3 million SEK. They have focused on a range of environmental and health issues, including intensified efforts against contaminated areas and PFAS substances, combating welfare crime, developing systems for reduced plastic use, and planning for more nature reserves.

The Liberals have proposed increasing the number of summer pedestrian streets and squares in Stockholm starting in summer 2025 to create livelier urban environments. The Culture Administration supports this, seeing an opportunity for more cultural activities, provided public transport isn't negatively impacted and residents, businesses, and cultural groups are included in planning.

Council member Andréa Hedin (M) proposes a pilot project for "campus schools," where schools, associations, and civil society offer a wide range of after-school activities like homework help, sports, and culture to provide children and young people with a safe and meaningful leisure time. The Culture Administration agrees on the importance of safe leisure and the potential of schools as meeting places, but suggests evaluating existing initiatives like free after-school clubs and "Skärholmen Tillsammans" before launching a new pilot.

The City of Stockholm is updating its food strategy to a new "food program" aimed at providing healthier, climate-smarter, and more resilient food for both residents and municipal operations. This program has two parts: "Sustainable Meals in City Operations," focusing on schools, preschools, and elderly care, and "Food City Stockholm," which targets everyone influencing residents' access to sustainable food. Key goals include at least 70% of all procured food being organic, with a 100% organic target for certain items like dairy, though the Culture Administration has noted potential challenges in sourcing without increased costs or reduced quality.

The City Executive Board issued a revised action plan for an age-friendly city to the Culture Committee for their opinion. The Culture Department reviewed the changes, which primarily clarified their role in social inclusion for the elderly. The Department finds the new wording aligns with their current work, including library efforts to combat digital exclusion and focus on preventing loneliness, and the Culture Committee has no further comments beyond what they have previously stated.

The Culture Committee is proposed to grant SEK 1.2 million to the Mossutställningar association for the establishment of a new studio house, Fjädermossa, in Sätra. Set to open in spring 2026 at Stensätravägen 9, this initiative will provide 28 studios and approximately 30 workspaces for professional artists, aiming to strengthen Stockholm's cultural infrastructure, particularly in the southwest where affordable studios are scarce.

The audit reviewed safety at Stockholm's recreation centers in 2025 and found that while committees generally have good safety routines, there are shortcomings such as unpracticed evacuation procedures and undocumented checks of staff criminal records. Järva and Södermalm, in particular, need to improve their follow-up of privately run recreation centers and report concerns when there's suspicion that children are at risk.

The Real Estate Department plans a comprehensive renovation of the green-classified building Pelarbacken Större 4 on Götgatan, Södermalm, which currently houses Södergården community centre, Söderbokhandeln bookstore, and other shops. This renovation will address the building's poor condition and lack of modern standards (e.g., an elevator), ensuring compliance with fire safety and accessibility laws, improving energy efficiency, and preserving its cultural-historical value. All tenants will need to evacuate from Q3 2026 to Q2 2028 during the works.

Kulturskolan in Norra Innerstaden must vacate its current Odenplan premises by December 31, 2026, due to unavoidable noise disturbances from music lessons affecting another tenant. The Culture Administration has therefore been tasked with finding a new space within Norra Innerstaden, aiming to provide a more long-term and suitable venue for up to three times more students, accommodating all of Kulturskolan's artistic expressions, not just music.

The Stockholm City Archives presented its 2023 annual report, highlighting increased accessibility to the city's public information. They handled 21,000 requests for archived material, a nearly nine percent increase, and welcomed 44,000 visitors to their premises and 99,000 to their website, with grade transcripts being the most sought-after. The archives also digitized materials and offered programs on diverse histories, attracting 6,900 participants.

The Department of Culture believes it has met its 2025 goals, providing Stockholm residents with access to a rich cultural life, with a particular focus on children, youth, seniors, and people with disabilities. They have also requested an additional 10.7 million SEK to renovate the Kungsträdgården stage roof and upgrade the lock and alarm systems at Asplundhuset (City Library).

The report "Information about Kulan 2025" details how Stockholm's children and students participate in cultural activities through the Kulan initiative. In 2025, there were 126,488 cultural visits using the Kulan premium, which subsidizes 50% of cultural programs for preschools and schools. Visits increased in preschools and elementary schools, particularly in Järva, where many children experienced multiple cultural events.

The Culture Committee has received the Kulturskolan's activity plan for 2026. The plan aims to make Kulturskolan more well-known, accessible, and inclusive for all children and young people in Stockholm, regardless of background or where they live. This includes reduced fees from autumn 2026, efforts to reach underrepresented groups such as boys and young people in certain areas, as well as an expanded range of offerings and improved safety within the activities.

This is a protocol from the Disability Council discussing accessibility at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern and within Stockholm's cultural life. Kulturhuset plans to use AI to improve accessibility and is investigating how subtitled performances can be offered, including through loanable displays for lines. Additionally, Kungsholmens kulturhus is applying for funding to build a wheelchair ramp and elevator to improve its entrance.

The Culture Department and City Archives held meetings where several issues were discussed, including strong criticism from Sveriges Lärare regarding Kulturskolan's move from Odenplan to a smaller, less suitable facility on Löjtnantsgatan. The new premises lack sufficient rooms, have a pillar in the middle of the intended stage, and are in an unsafe location with inadequate daylight. The City Archives also presented its activity report for 2025, noting positive figures for sick leave at 2.8%.

The Culture Committee's Archive Subcommittee approved the City Archives' annual report for 2025 and forwarded it to the City Executive Board, along with their response to a consultation on an action plan to make Stockholm an age-friendly city. The subcommittee was also informed about an upcoming trip to Malmö and Copenhagen to study archive operations.

This case reports on delegated decisions made by the Culture Administration and City Archives between January 9 and February 6, 2026. These are internal administrative decisions, such as procuring framework agreements for art project managers and technical consultants, determining archive instructions, and managing building permit referrals. For citizens, this means officials made decisions within their authority without each matter needing to go before the board.

The City Council has approved a new school library plan for preschools and schools in Stockholm, replacing the previous 2021-2024 plan. This means all preschools and schools now have an updated framework for the operation and development of their school libraries.

This matter involves formally reporting and approving the minutes from the Culture Committee meeting on January 20, 2026. It concerns internal administrative procedures to confirm that decisions and discussions from that meeting have been accurately documented.

Ängby IF has written to the Sports Committee regarding challenges faced by small and medium-sized sports clubs in Stockholm, specifically noting that the city's system for allocating training times disadvantages smaller clubs and that facility costs have risen without corresponding support. They also feel their efforts in creating a safe environment at Ängby IP are not adequately recognized, and urge the committee to review these issues to secure the future of club activities.

The opposition parties (Centre, Moderate, and Liberal) have raised concerns about the growing sport of gymnastics in Stockholm, citing a lack of suitable venues, especially specialized halls and school gyms with proper equipment, and questioning the city's plan to address these needs and ensure fair allocation of times, particularly after a planned hall in Riksby was scrapped. The Sports Department acknowledges the issue, plans dialogue with the regional Gymnastics Federation to better analyze needs, and clarifies that the Riksby project was private; they are, however, exploring adaptations in existing Ulvsunda facilities and continuing discussions with the Education Department and SISAB to open more school gyms for club activities, focusing on equipment access.

Politicians from M, C, and L inquired about the usage of Gärdet's hybrid grass pitches and the possibility of switching to artificial turf. The Sports Administration responded that hybrid grass pitches can be booked for 340 hours annually, significantly less than artificial turf pitches which allow up to 2810 hours, due to greater rest and maintenance requirements for hybrid grass. While a switch to artificial turf is complicated by the pitches' location within the National Urban Park, the administration is discussing options with relevant parties given the high demand for artificial turf pitches in Norra innerstaden.

Two politicians from L and C questioned the Sports Department on their adherence to the city's policy of replacing sports facilities lost to construction, claiming it isn't being followed, specifically citing a 7-a-side pitch in Stadshagen, a tennis court in Skarpnäcks Gård, and an 11-a-side pitch at Nytorps Gärde as lost without equivalent replacement. The Sports Department responded that they are actively working on replacing lost facilities but admitted that a 1:1 local replacement in Stadshagen is no longer deemed possible, expressed criticism that a park renovation isn't an equivalent replacement for the Skarpnäcks Gård tennis court, and noted no replacement is listed in the plan for the Nytorps Gärde pitch, adding that no definitive decisions to not replace facilities have been made this term, though projects with potential reductions are ongoing.

Opposition parties (C, L, M) want to save Kronobergsbadet, which the Police Authority plans to close in May 2026 due to security concerns, as it is important for exercise swimming and swim instruction. They propose dialogue with the police, a plan to continue leasing the pool, or for the city to quickly secure new swimming facilities. The Sports Department states they are in dialogue with the police but cannot lease the pool due to security reasons, and are now looking for land for a new inner-city swimming hall while working to find replacement times at other pools.

Hanna Wistrand (L) asked the Sports Committee about the city's view on sports clubs co-financing new facilities, for example through sponsorship, the Inheritance Fund, or RF SISU Stockholm, and also about inter-municipal cooperation for funding. The Sports Committee responded positively to clubs co-financing and already cooperates with RF SISU Stockholm and other municipalities for specialized facilities. While sponsorship of municipal facilities is more complex, the Committee will develop guidelines for advertising and sponsorship on sports grounds.

The opposition parties (C, M, L) questioned the Sports Department about its dialogue with Djurgården Hockey, specifically after the decision to keep Hovet arena until 2030, seeking clarity on ongoing discussions, efforts to reduce uncertainty for the club, and support for their planned ice hall in Tallkrogen. The Sports Department responded that they maintain continuous dialogue with Djurgården IF regarding facility times, primarily for youth activities, but Hovet is not part of the committee's primary offerings; they are monitoring the Tallkrogen issue but are not formally involved as the Exploitation Department handles discussions with the private developer.

The Stockholm Ski Association has proposed the construction of asphalt tracks for roller skiing and para-sports at Ågesta recreation area and Högdalstopparna, citing a significant and growing need due to the lack of such facilities and the unsafe training environments currently used. The Sports Administration views Högdalstopparna as a potentially suitable location for a multi-purpose asphalt track and plans further investigation, while Ågesta is deemed unsuitable due to potential negative impacts on other users.

The City of Stockholm has developed a new action plan to become a more "age-friendly city," replacing the previous one. This plan aims to enable older adults to live safely and independently with equal rights and opportunities for societal participation, focusing on five areas: participation, collaboration, social inclusion, housing/urban environment, and communication. The Sports Committee supports the proposal, viewing it as a crucial guiding document for strengthening internal city collaboration and promoting the health of older adults in Stockholm.

Councilor Andréa Hedin (M) proposes a pilot project for "campus schools" in Stockholm, where schools, associations, and civil society would offer a wide range of after-school activities like homework help, sports, and culture to provide a safe and meaningful leisure for children, especially pre-teens. The Sports Department agrees on the importance of meaningful leisure but argues against a pilot project, citing existing extensive city-wide leisure offerings and collaborations, and expresses concern that a campus school model could create a parallel organization diverging from the Swedish association model.

The Sports Committee has approved a statement in response to a referral from the City Executive Board concerning the City of Stockholm's revised food program, "Good food for health, climate, and environment." This program aims to promote healthy and sustainable meals to reduce environmental impact and improve public health. The Sports Committee views this as consistent with its mission, emphasizing the importance of measurable goals, digital tools to reduce food waste, and healthy food options at sports facilities.

The City of Stockholm plans to replace the running tracks, artificial turf, and athletic surfaces at Zinkensdamms IP on Södermalm due to wear and tear, and to improve drainage. The aim is for Zinkensdamms IP to remain a modern and safe venue for elite, amateur, and school sports, as well as the general public, with completion hoped for before the Midnattsloppet in August 2026.

The City of Stockholm will investigate the future of Eriksdalsbadet, the city's largest and most visited swimming facility with approximately 1.5 million annual visitors, due to urgent structural and waterproofing deficiencies. The investigation, costing up to 25 million SEK, will explore three options: a full renovation, renovating the current facility and moving the national arena section elsewhere, or building a completely new facility. The goal is to ensure swimming functions for the public, associations, and national competitions, with a preliminary study expected in early 2027.

The Sports Committee proposes relocating Träffstugan, a recreation center for children and youth with disabilities, from Sköndal to larger premises in Högdalen by early 2027, as their current location will be converted into housing. The new facility at Önskehemsgatan 34 requires adaptations, which Familjebostäder will manage, and the proposed 20-year lease has an estimated annual rent of SEK 2 million.

The Sports Committee has approved an expanded investment of SEK 21.4 million in Sätra ice rink, an increase of SEK 10.1 million from the original 2022 decision. This higher cost is due to increased prices for equipment such as the rink boards, scoreboard, and sound system, as well as general price hikes since 2022, meaning the ice rink will receive upgraded equipment at a greater expense for the municipality.

The Sports Committee presents its activity report for 2025, assessing that all City Council's strategic goals have been met. The report shows the committee has successfully worked to ensure all children and young people in Stockholm have access to meaningful leisure activities, regardless of background or where they live. Special efforts have been made to increase swimming proficiency, reach teenage girls, young people with disabilities, and youth in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas with targeted activities and a lowered age limit for gyms.

The Sports Department has decided to provide financial support to various sports clubs and events in Stockholm for 2025 and 2026. This includes SEK 350,000 for Friday Dances for FUB Stockholm, SEK 470,400 each for Husby FF HT and Rinkeby United FC for spontaneous football in Järva, and SEK 395,000 for the Swedish Ski Association for "Everyone on Snow." Additionally, several equestrian clubs will receive support for recreation leaders, and various swimming, running, and athletics events will be funded.

The Stockholm Property Committee will purchase 14 cooperative apartments in the Brf Bruket area of Farsta for approximately 45.3 million SEK. These homes will serve as supported living residences for individuals with disabilities, allowing the Farsta City District Council to rent them and address the current lack of such options in the area.

The Real Estate Committee intends to purchase 13 new cooperative apartments in Brf Cristina, located in Hägersten-Älvsjö, for approximately SEK 45 million. These will serve as assisted living residences for individuals with disabilities, with occupancy expected in 2028. The district council will then lease these apartments for around SEK 1.9 million annually.

Two temporary sports halls, approximately 3,500 square meters in total, have been built at Vinsta BP in Vällingby. These halls, which will primarily host basketball and table tennis but also school sports and other activities, will replace facilities during the renovation of Vällingby swimming and sports hall from 2025 to 2028. The project's final cost of 57.3 million SEK, 17% over budget, was partly due to accelerated construction to meet deadlines and unforeseen repair costs for recycled materials.

The Property Committee has approved the final report for the renovation of Pilträdet 11, building 6, on Kungsholmen. This yellow-classified former care building, located in a culturally significant area, has been transformed into modern office spaces for the Education Administration, accommodating approximately 170 employees. The project came in under budget at 74.4 million SEK (compared to 98 million SEK) but was delayed until September 2025 due to unexpected hazardous materials and an appeal in the procurement process.

The City of Stockholm plans to replace the outdated 1970s building at Ådalen playground in Grimsta, Vällingby, with a new, larger facility. Expected to be completed by autumn 2027, the 165 sqm building will provide modern, accessible, and energy-efficient spaces for play, games, and creative activities for both children and adults. It will also feature improved ventilation, a better working environment, and sustainable solutions like solar panels and geothermal heating.

The City of Stockholm is planning a major renovation of the property Pelarbacken Större 4 on Götgatan, Södermalm, which houses Södergården, Söderbokhandeln, and other shops. This culturally significant building is in poor condition and requires modernization to meet current fire safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency standards. The project, expected to finish by summer 2028, will include installing an elevator, demolishing a courtyard building, and temporarily relocating tenants, with the Culture Committee acting as the primary tenant for association activities.

The Real Estate Committee has decided to renovate the 1923 sewage system in Stockholm City Hall (Eldkvarnen 1), which has reached the end of its technical lifespan. This project, primarily involving pipe relining, is scheduled to take place in phases from 2026 to 2029 to minimize disruption, ensuring City Hall remains operational for employees, events, and the public.

The City of Stockholm has decided to replace the running tracks, artificial turf, and athletics surfaces at Zinkensdamms IP on Södermalm, as they have reached the end of their lifespan and are heavily worn. Work will begin after the bandy season and is expected to be completed before the Midnattsloppet in August 2026. This ensures the sports facility remains a crucial venue for elite sports, recreational sports, and school sports.

The Real Estate Committee has approved plans for a new park play building in Kronobergsparken on Kungsholmen, replacing the previous structure that was destroyed by fire in 2023. The new 176 square meter building will house park play activities, an open preschool, and a leisure center, meeting higher standards for accessibility and sustainability. Construction is expected to finish by late 2027, with the current temporary pavilion to be dismantled in 2026.

The City of Stockholm will investigate the future of Eriksdalsbadet, the city's largest and most visited swimming facility, which suffers from urgent building deficiencies. The investigation, estimated to cost up to SEK 25 million, will examine three options: a complete renovation of the current facility, a complete renovation with the national arena moved to a separate location, or building an entirely new facility on the same site. The aim is to ensure Eriksdalsbadet continues to serve the public, sports clubs, and as a national arena for aquatics in the long term.

The City of Stockholm has adopted a local action program to improve water quality in Strömmen. This program aims to reduce pollution from sediment, traffic, and wastewater, as well as enhance the habitat for aquatic plants and animals. These measures are necessary for Strömmen to meet EU environmental quality standards and are estimated to cost hundreds of millions of kronor, with some actions already having specific cost proposals.

The Moderates proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate digitally sharing solar power between municipal properties and leasing roof space to external actors to increase solar energy use. The Property Management Office views internal digital sharing positively, believing it could reduce electricity costs once new legislation is in place, likely by 2026. However, the office considers leasing roof space to external actors inconsistent with its mandate.

The Real Estate Committee received a referral response regarding the city's new food program, which aims to promote healthy and environmentally friendly food in Stockholm's operations, such as schools and elderly care, and to strengthen the city as a 'food city.' The office supports the program's goals for sustainable food but seeks clarifications on purchasing and staff meals. They also wish to clarify that the impact on restaurants, for example in swimming pools, occurs via lease agreements and not solely through procurement.

The Real Estate Committee has responded to the City Executive Office's proposed action plan to make Stockholm more age-friendly. The plan focuses on five areas, including housing and urban environment, where the Real Estate Committee is responsible for creating safe and accessible public spaces and training staff who interact with the elderly. The committee is positive about the plan but requests clarification on which specific employees will be trained.

The Real Estate Committee has approved a new lease agreement for Laroy Restaurang AB, located in the Landbyska Verket 1 property. The restaurant, operated by various companies within Stureplansgruppen since the 90s, will now have its lease extended under new terms.

The City Auditors investigated how the Real Estate Committee and other companies manage property maintenance, including schools and nursing homes. The audit revealed the Real Estate Committee needs to improve its basis for prioritizing maintenance, gain a comprehensive overview of property needs, and ensure maintenance plans exist for all properties. The Real Estate Committee welcomed the recommendations and will take action, including developing prioritization principles and implementing a new system by 2026 for better maintenance oversight.

The Real Estate Committee approved the 2025 activity report and financial statement, including a SEK 7.8 million re-budget for climate investments. The report highlights successful efforts to reduce energy use and CO2 emissions, such as installing LED lighting in Sköndalshallen and Grimstahallen, alongside a safety improvement project at Bredängs BP to enhance attractiveness and security.

This protocol from Stockholm's Disability Affairs Council addresses several issues regarding accessibility for people with disabilities. Topics include Sweco's report on accessibility in Stockholm's sports halls, the "More in the Stands" project aiming to make events more accessible, and the Real Estate Department's new guidelines for accessibility in construction. The Council emphasizes the importance of involving individuals with lived experience and ensuring that developers comply with new building regulations.

This matter concerns the notification of several decisions made by the Real Estate Department and its chairman. These include the decision to sell an apartment at Svartviksslingan 73 and another at Svartviksslingan 112, as well as the by-election of Lennart Björk to the joint disability council of the Real Estate Committee and the Environment and Health Protection Committee.

This is a notification for information about a decision that has already been made. The City Council has approved the city's Chemical Plan for 2025-2031, which means all committees and city-owned companies must work in accordance with this plan to reduce the spread of harmful chemicals. The previous plan for 2020-2023 and the action plan for reduced microplastic dissemination are thereby no longer valid.

The heads of the labor market administration discussed several matters, including ongoing renovations at Komvux Södermalm disrupting operations and plans to move offices from Palmfelt Center to Tensta by late 2028 at the earliest. They also approved "Lärkedjan," a new 20.3 million SEK project aiming to help individuals with mild intellectual disabilities secure jobs as care or kitchen assistants, with a target employment rate of 55%.

The Labour Market Committee's Council for Disability Issues has reported on its work, including a 2026 activity plan. This plan focuses on Stockholm being an inclusive employer and improving the transition from education to employment for people with disabilities. The Council advocates for removing discriminatory requirements in job advertisements, increasing individualized support, and is exploring digital meetings to enhance member accessibility.

The Disability Council for Labor Market Issues worked in 2025 to make the City of Stockholm a more inclusive employer, easing the transition from study to work for people with disabilities. The council advised the labor market administration and influenced the budget to ensure accessibility and equal conditions. While progress in knowledge and competence regarding participation is noted, the council emphasizes the need for continued strong focus on resources and collaboration for full integration.

This matter provides an ongoing report to the City Council on decisions made by officials under delegated authority, along with an overview of incoming and initiated cases within the Labour Market Administration. The report covers numerous internal administrative decisions, such as recruitments and procurements, and also informs about activities related to adult education (Komvux), job centers (Jobbtorg Stockholm), summer jobs for youth, and integration matters.

The City of Stockholm proposes a new action plan to become an age-friendly city, aiming to ensure older people have equal rights, can actively participate in society, access relevant services, and counteract ageism. The Labour Market Administration specifically emphasizes including older individuals in the workforce and requests a clearer definition of "older" within the plan.

A motion proposes that the City of Stockholm replace 1,000 summer jobs with "SAO jobs" (study-motivating work-life orientation) for youth by 2026, aiming to provide more meaningful, long-term labor market integration through business collaboration. The Labour Market Administration finds SAO jobs interesting but believes they fall under the Education Administration's purview and that the proposed 2026 timeline for converting summer jobs is unfeasible.

The City of Stockholm is developing a new food program, "Good food for health, climate, and environment," to ensure meals in municipal operations like schools and elderly care are healthy, climate-friendly, and environmentally sound. This program will also help residents make sustainable and healthy food choices and strengthen the city's food supply during crises.

A pilot project offering summer jobs in 2025 to 31 14-15 year olds with social needs, selected by social services in Järva and Enskede-Årsta-Vantör, has been evaluated and deemed successful. The project strengthened the youths and complemented social service efforts, with 25 of 31 completing their jobs. It is recommended that this initiative be implemented on a small scale going forward, with improvements to ensure high quality and suitable workplaces.

The City of Stockholm reported on its 2025 efforts to support over 8,300 young people under 20 who are not in or have not completed high school. The municipality successfully reached over 3,000 of them with support and interventions. Of those assisted, 58 percent resumed their studies, marking the highest number since 2011.

The City of Stockholm has appointed a jury for the 2026 Nelson Mandela Prize, which awards 100,000 SEK to initiatives that promote integration and create meeting places between new and established Stockholmers. The proposed jury includes the chair and vice-chair of the labor market committee, along with representatives from IBM, Familjebostäder, Föreningen Midsommargården, Miljöverkstaden Flaten, and Rädda Barnen. Residents can nominate candidates for the prize via the city's website between March 1st and 22nd.

The Labour Market Committee has submitted its 2025 activity report, detailing efforts to help more Stockholmers find jobs and education. Despite high unemployment, over 9,200 individuals, many on social assistance or with disabilities, received support via Jobbtorg Stockholm, and a record 11,700 young people secured summer jobs. The report also highlights expanded adult education and preparations for new laws aimed at increasing self-sufficiency.

This agenda covers several referrals from Stockholm City Hall AB and its subsidiaries concerning waste management, property formation, and building permit matters. Notably, the new sorting and food waste facility in Högdalen, utilizing NIR technology for automated sorting, has been completed. This facility is expected to reduce the city's greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 32,800 tons of CO2 equivalents annually and facilitate food waste collection for households. Additionally, a positive response has been given to a national classification structure for building cases under the Planning and Building Act, while emphasizing the need for controlled and gradual implementation.

The City Council has decided on several new guidelines for Stockholm's municipal companies. These include a chemical plan for a toxic-free Stockholm, a business policy to improve the business climate, guidelines for designing better preschool and schoolyards, an action plan for housing supply, and new guidelines for mobility and parking in new construction to promote sustainable travel and reduce private car use in the city.

Stockholms Stadshus AB is updating its internal rules for who can approve purchases and payments, and the amounts they can handle. This is being done to ensure invoices and salaries are managed correctly and securely, especially following changes in the company's management. The changes aim to improve internal control and reduce the risk of incorrect payments.

The Municipal Executive Board proposes changes to Stockholmsmässan's articles of association. These are mainly administrative, clarifying the company's purpose to adhere to municipal principles, allowing for the engagement of an audit firm instead of a named auditor, and modernizing the language. These updates, similar to those made to other municipal companies in 2024, are not expected to affect Stockholmsmässan's current operations.

Stockholm Vatten AB intends to reduce its ownership in Syvab AB, which operates the Himmerfjärdsverket wastewater treatment plant, from approximately 33 percent to about 14 percent. This is because Stockholm Vatten will be directing some of its wastewater to the Henriksdals treatment plant instead, leading to reduced use of Himmerfjärdsverket. Simultaneously, the municipalities of Ekerö and Trosa will become owners of Syvab, and Stockholm Vatten's guarantee commitment in Syvab will decrease from approximately 860 million SEK to about 225 million SEK.

The City of Stockholm is planning a major renovation and expansion of Lillholmsskolan in Skärholmen, which includes a new sports hall. The project, estimated to cost SEK 461.7 million, will provide the school with permanent, long-term capacity and modern facilities for adapted compulsory school. The sports hall will be accessible to the school during daytime hours and to local sports clubs in the evenings and on weekends.

The Stockholm City Executive Board has approved the renovation and expansion of the Tensta Reservoir in Järva, which is vital for the drinking water supply in Västerort. The existing reservoir, serving approximately 220,000 people, dates back to 1969 and requires modernization. The plan is to first build a new reservoir next to the old one, and then renovate the existing one, a project expected to take eight years in total, from 2026 to 2034, to secure water quality, supply reliability, and improve pressure conditions in the water network for residents.

Stockholm City plans to build a new, full-sized recycling center in Sätra. This facility, estimated to cost 337 million Swedish kronor, will replace the previous center in Sätra and help meet the city's needs for waste management and reuse. The aim is to increase capacity for bulky waste, hazardous waste, and materials for reuse, while creating a modern facility that reduces queues and simplifies sorting for residents.

Stockholms Stadshus AB is presenting its budget and operational plan for 2026, with a focus on investing in housing, care facilities, and infrastructure such as water and sewage. The company will also acquire two new businesses, continue working towards sustainability goals aligned with Agenda 2030, and enhance city safety while maintaining a stable economy. A new sustainability declaration will be adopted to meet reporting requirements.

The board of Stockholm City Hall AB has approved a budget and operational plan for 2026. This plan, which includes new directives for the parent company, prioritizes significant investments across the group in water and sewage infrastructure, construction and renovation of housing, schools, and elderly care facilities, alongside continued efforts in safety and climate initiatives. The overarching goal is for Stockholm to be fossil fuel-free by 2040, with the parent company leading the capture and storage of carbon dioxide from Stockholm Exergi's facility, a crucial step for the city to achieve climate positivity.

Stockholm City needs to appoint representatives to attend the annual general meetings of Stockholms Stadshus AB's subsidiaries and associated companies in 2026, such as Svenska Bostäder, Familjebostäder, and Stockholm Exergi. These representatives will vote on matters concerning the companies' finances, boards, and other significant decisions. The decision also includes a slight adjustment to the annual remuneration for board members and auditors in these companies for 2026, reflecting changes in the price base amount; for instance, the chairman of AB Svenska Bostäder will now receive an annual salary of SEK 92,500.

Stockholm's municipal group had a net debt of 97.6 billion SEK at the end of 2025, an increase of 4.6 billion during the year. The largest debt was held by Stockholm Water and Waste due to their investments. The municipal group's total loans amounted to 84.8 billion SEK at the same time.

The Group Board has approved plans to build 76 new rental apartments in Solberga, costing SEK 305 million, and to renovate a boiler plant in the same area. They have also approved two new housing development projects: one with Familjebostäder in Farsta strand for SEK 712 million and another with Svenska Bostäder on Lilla Essingen for SEK 457 million. However, the opposition has raised objections, expressing concern about rising costs and debt, and arguing that priorities should be placed on existing properties and mixed forms of tenure.

The City Planning Office has developed a draft detailed development plan for the properties Rosteriet 6 and 8 in Liljeholmen. The plan proposes adding two to three floors to existing office buildings and constructing new six- to seven-story volumes in the center of the block. The aim is to create more office spaces and enhance the urban environment with new entrances, public functions, and green spaces. The draft plan will be open for consultation from February 10 to March 23, 2026, with a meeting held on March 3 for those wishing to provide feedback.

The City Planning Administration has developed a proposal for a detailed development plan for Fruängen's center. The plan involves developing Fruängen center with approximately 290 new homes, new commercial and service spaces, and safer, greener squares and streets. Consultations will be held from January 27 to March 9, 2026, with information meetings on February 3 and February 9 at Fruängsplan, and a consultation meeting on February 11 at Kunskapsskolan.

Emelie Wassermann (SD) has questioned City Planning and Sports Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) regarding the closure of Svedmyrabadet in September 2024 and the lack of a promised replacement swimming facility. Concerns are further raised as Sandsborgsbadet, previously mentioned as an alternative, also appears to face extensive renovations. Wassermann seeks clarity on the decision timeline for Svedmyrabadet's renovation, plans for a replacement facility, and the unfulfilled promises to bathers.

Mikael Valier Furtenbach (KD) proposed establishing "architecture zones," particularly in Stockholm's inner city and older districts, to preserve historical character by regulating new construction's height, volume, materials, and design language. The City Executive Board rejected the proposal, stating that existing guidelines and laws adequately protect the city's cultural environment, and Stockholm should be able to develop with new architectural elements.

Council member Kristin Jacobsson (C) proposes Stockholm better adhere to the Council of Europe's anti-trafficking convention by granting potential victims, often women exploited in prostitution, a 30-day reflection period with temporary residency. This "rights package" would also include secure housing, legal aid, and healthcare, as few such applications are currently made despite widespread exploitation.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate the situation of elderly LGBTQI+ individuals in elder care, demand LGBTQI+ competence in elder care procurements, and ensure continuous staff training on LGBTQI+ issues and respectful encounters, as elderly LGBTQI+ individuals currently fear ignorance and discrimination. The City Executive Board responded that the city already addresses these matters through an action plan for LGBTQI+ equal rights and opportunities, alongside continuous training and follow-ups in elder care.

Councillors Ismail Ali and Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that all preschools in Stockholm should have the opportunity to cultivate as part of their educational activities, with the Preschool Committee developing a plan for this so children can learn about nature and the food chain. However, the City Executive Board believes there are already sufficient guidelines and ongoing efforts to promote cultivation and green outdoor environments at preschools, and that preschools should be free to choose their own pedagogical methods.

Councilor Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that Stockholm introduce sibling priority for preschools, applicable when an older sibling attends a nearby or associated primary school, aiming to ease logistics for families and promote gender equality. While many bodies, including the City Executive Board, support the intention, they deem the proposal unfeasible in its current form due to the need for extensive investigations into consequences, new system support, and updated guidelines, given the separate governance of preschools and schools.

Councillor Hanna Werner (M) proposed making Odenplan greener, safer, and livelier with more trees, flowerbeds, and an improved bicycle garage to accommodate electric bikes, in cooperation with Region Stockholm. However, the majority of the City Executive Board stated that actions are already underway or planned, such as flower urns and future garage upgrades. They deemed a larger transformation inappropriate at this time due to upcoming subway construction until 2028 and the Roslagsbanan extension until 2038.

The Liberals propose that Stockholm plan for a Stockholm Exhibition in 2030, a century after the influential 1930 exhibition. This exhibition would focus on urban development, architecture, design, and sustainability, aiming to highlight Stockholm globally and learn from history for future challenges. The City Executive Board notes that a feasibility study for such an exhibition is already underway, led by Stockholm Business Region AB, and awaits its findings.

Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposed merging Stockholm's three municipal housing companies to save money, improve climate benefits, and build more homes, arguing a single entity would be more efficient and tenant-friendly. However, the City Executive Board, the City Management Office, and the housing companies themselves believe a merger is unnecessary, stating current efficiency and collaboration efforts suffice, and a merger could be difficult to manage and create competition issues. Therefore, Naddebo's motion is recommended to be answered, effectively rejecting the proposal.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed an "athletics standard" for Stockholm, aiming to proactively allocate land for sports facilities and involve private partners in new developments like Frihamnen and the Slakthus area to address the severe shortage of sports spaces. While the majority on the municipal board supports prioritizing sports in urban planning, they believe current strategies suffice, whereas C and L dissented, arguing a clear standard is crucial to prevent sports from being deprioritized.

Dennis Wedin (M) has proposed that the Exploitation Committee find a long-term solution for Örnsbergs Kanotsällskap, including a new consolidated location for their clubhouse, as the society lost their Gröndal clubhouse in 2018 due to housing construction and currently has a demolition contract on Reimersholme. While the city believes it is already actively working on the issue and no further mandate is needed, the opposition argues the work has been prolonged and costly for the city, with promises of a new SEK 6 million clubhouse remaining unfulfilled.

Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed Stockholm City investigate offering swimming lessons to newly arrived adults through SFI and local sports clubs, aiming to boost swimming ability and integration. The City Executive Board believes current initiatives via Welcome House and the 2026 budget address this, but the Liberals reserved their position, advocating for the motion's approval and an immediate investigation.

A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed expanding Hammarbybacken with an additional peak and raising the existing one, using excavation masses from subway construction to create more skiing and cycling activities and strengthen Stockholm's position as an event city. The City Executive Board rejected the proposal, citing a lack of surplus masses and significant natural values in the area that need to be considered.

Nike Örbrink (KD) proposes increasing the number of therapy animals in Stockholm's care homes to boost the emotional well-being of the elderly, especially those with cognitive impairment. While Elder Care Commissioner Torun Boucher supports the idea for reducing anxiety and loneliness, she notes challenges like limited access to trained animals and the need for hygiene and safety protocols. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion is addressed by stating that work with therapy animals is already underway, and district committees can decide to implement more animals following risk assessments.

Center Party members proposed that the City of Stockholm and Region Stockholm develop a joint routine to ensure children with autism receive consistent and coordinated support in preschool, aligning with the National Board of Health and Welfare’s recommendations. While the City Executive Office acknowledged the importance of cooperation, it argued that existing agreements and programs already address this, though Region Stockholm did not comment. The majority emphasized the clear division of responsibility between the preschool’s pedagogical role and the region’s treatment role, stating the municipality cannot assume regional tasks. However, a dissenting reservation from the Moderates, Liberals, and Center Party criticized the left-leaning majority for overlooking deficiencies raised by stakeholders and for allowing a child's postcode to determine access to support.

Councillor Nike Örbrink (Christian Democrats) proposed allowing seniors to bring their own alcohol to city meeting places like Lusthuset Hornstull, enabling them to "add a touch of luxury to everyday life" similar to younger generations. The City Executive Board rejected the motion, citing the Alcohol Act, which would prohibit the sale of non-alcoholic beverages like coffee if alcohol were permitted, stating that local regulations cannot override this.

The Liberals propose that Stockholm city should focus more on electrification to reach climate goals faster, for instance, through more charging stations city-wide and electric vehicle requirements in procurements. The City Executive Board responds that the city already works with electrification within the framework of Climate Action Plan 2030, which contains many concrete measures, and that national incentives are most crucial for making electric vehicles more accessible.

The Liberals propose higher parking fees for fossil-fueled vehicles in Stockholm to reduce emissions and improve air quality. While the City Executive Board and Traffic Committee state current laws don't allow this, the city has proposed a legal amendment to the government, yet the Liberals insist the city should express its desire to implement differentiated fees as a crucial step towards a greener city.

The Centre Party proposed developing Stadsgårdskajen with 180 new homes and 25,000 sqm of office and commercial space, by decking over the road with terraced buildings and adding a promenade, park, marina, open-air bath, and stage. However, the City Executive Board deemed the proposal too problematic due to its negative impact on national cultural heritage interests, high costs associated with decking, and ongoing extensive development work in the area.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Christina Tufvesson (L) proposed that Stockholm investigate how to create more affordable and accessible premises for associations and local businesses, especially in the outer city, believing this would foster a vibrant city and social cohesion. However, the City Executive Board deemed this unnecessary, stating the city already addresses the issue through existing services like Föreningsservice and Kulturlotsen, and that the 2025 budget includes initiatives to make school premises available.

Council members from C, M, and KD proposed that sports associations should retain subsidized rent for their premises even when selling low-alcohol beer during events, to support their finances. The City of Stockholm responded that the Sports Committee has already decided to introduce a new association-specific fee structure from 2026, which will permit low-alcohol beer sales at a subsidized rent, thereby addressing the motion's proposal.

The Liberals have moved to develop Stockholm's strategy for single-family homes and villa areas, proposing that the City Planning Committee be tasked with ensuring new constructions better integrate with area character and that green spaces are better protected during projects. However, the City Executive Board responds that these issues are already being addressed through ongoing processes, particularly in light of upcoming changes to the Planning and Building Act.

The Liberals proposed that the municipality develop an action plan to reduce SFI (Swedish for immigrants) dropout rates, arguing that high dropout numbers hinder integration and access to work or further studies. However, the municipal executive board majority and several district committees disagreed, stating that the city already works systematically to reduce dropouts through tailored programs, study breaks, and collaboration with the Public Employment Service, noting that reasons for dropping out, such as finding work or relocating, are often beyond the education's control.

Councilors Kristin Jacobsson and Svante Linusson (C) proposed investigating Stockholm's parking garages for their potential to serve as protected spaces during crises or war, suggesting equipping them with water, sanitation, and ventilation, and exploring requirements for future garages to be convertible into shelters. The City Executive Board, while acknowledging the importance of strengthening civil defense, recommended awaiting national decisions and state funding for such measures, as current requirements and funding for converting parking garages into shelters are lacking. Some opposition parties reserved their positions, believing the city should act more proactively rather than solely waiting for national initiatives.

The Liberals propose that Stockholm should restore and preserve culturally significant parks like Vasaparken and Humlegården, suggesting new installations such as benches and lighting should resemble originals, and small kiosks for food and culture be allowed to enliven the spaces. City administrations indicate they already work to preserve these parks' cultural-historical value and kiosks are possible, though Södermalm supports the motion.

The Liberals proposed that the City of Stockholm allow associations to manage smaller parks through user agreements, aiming to increase engagement and improve maintenance. The City Executive Board rejected the motion, stating that primary responsibility for park maintenance must remain with the city, despite valuing citizen engagement. While some city districts already have user agreements, these are for "extra" tasks beyond normal upkeep and do not include financial compensation for the associations.

The Liberals proposed an investigation into increasing workplaces in Söderort to alleviate commuting and congestion, given that many residents currently travel to other parts of the city for work. The city responded that it is already actively working to strengthen Söderort with more jobs, with relevant measures integrated into ongoing budget assignments and planning, though the Liberals believe more can be done to facilitate business establishment.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) believes Stockholm's business climate has deteriorated, with a decline in new businesses, and proposes the city do more to support start-ups, including returning new business support to Stockholm Business Region and creating a consolidated permit center. Rapporteur Councillor Karin Wanngård (S) disputes this, arguing that the city's new model, Entreprenör Stockholm, is more effective, focusing on green transition, social entrepreneurship, and shortage occupations while ensuring better control over public funds. The City Executive Board therefore proposes the motion be addressed by referring to ongoing work.

The Liberals proposed naming a public space in Stockholm after Aaron Isaac, the first Jew permitted to reside in Sweden without converting in 1775, to commemorate Jewish history and contributions, especially during the 250th anniversary of established Jewish life in Sweden. The City Executive Board rejected the proposal, citing existing locations linked to Isaac and concerns about confusion from further naming. Instead, they suggested improving information at existing sites like the Aronsberg cemetery on Kungsholmen.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm map Afrophobia in the city's schools, including analyzing reports of discrimination and hate crimes and engaging with civil society. The majority of the City Executive Board and several committees believe a broader mapping of all racism in schools is already underway and that they should await its results and utilize the Equality Ombudsman's national work. The Liberals entered a reservation, arguing that a specific mapping of Afrophobia is needed, as it targets a particularly vulnerable group.

The Liberal party's Jan Jönsson proposed a new survey of antisemitism in Stockholm's schools, preschools, and other educational activities, along with an action plan, due to a perceived increase in antisemitism after the October 2023 terrorist attack on Israel. However, the City Executive Board believes the city is already actively combatting antisemitism through a new action plan against racism and an ongoing broader survey of racism in schools. Therefore, they want to await the results of these efforts before considering a new specific survey on antisemitism.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that Stockholm introduce a Swedish language test, similar to the math test, to better monitor high school students' reading comprehension and support elementary schools. The City Executive Board rejected the proposal, citing a previous investigation that found such a test would be too expensive, difficult to design, and not useful enough to justify the cost. They argued that current follow-up methods are sufficient and that the focus should be on providing teachers with better conditions for instruction.

The Centre Party proposes that Stockholm inventory the city's avenues and older trees, develop a strategy for their care and development, and identify new areas for tree planting, including transforming Karlbergsvägen into a green esplanade. The city responds that it is already working on a new tree policy addressing many of these issues, such as increasing canopy cover and inventorying trees. However, completely redesigning Karlbergsvägen is limited by underground infrastructure, though replanting efforts are underway.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm map the prevalence of homophobia and transphobia within its own operations to better understand and combat discrimination against LGBTQI+ individuals, with results informing future measures and annual follow-up. While most committees and administrations believe their existing human rights program and new LGBTQI+ action plan sufficiently address this and a separate mapping is unnecessary or difficult, Jönsson argues current efforts are insufficient, lack focus on residents' experiences, and advocates for more LGBTQ-certified operations.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (both L) proposed measures to reduce bureaucracy, speed up permit processes, and clarify rules for Stockholm's visitor industry, arguing its importance for the city's appeal and economy. The City Executive Board, led by Karin Wanngård, rejected the motion, stating the city already actively addresses these issues through existing initiatives, digitalization, and a functioning industry council. However, Jan Jönsson (L) registered a reservation, noting industry support for the motion highlights the need for further action.

Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposed that the City Executive Board take coordinated responsibility for making Fagersjöviken in Magelungen more attractive for water recreation, citing its deterioration and lack of clear plans for improvement. The Board, however, recommended rejecting the motion, stating that the city already undertakes extensive and coordinated efforts to improve both water quality and recreational opportunities throughout Magelungen, including Fagersjöviken, and that no further directive is needed, while emphasizing the lake's ecological balance. Naddebo was not satisfied and dissented, arguing for more specific interventions in Fagersjöviken and the need for external funding.

Two Liberal politicians proposed evaluating Stockholm's environmental zones, particularly in Gamla stan and Södermalm, for their impact on air quality, emissions, residents, and businesses, and comparing them with measures in other cities. The City Executive Board responded that ongoing evaluations already show positive effects on air quality, though compliance needs improvement, and they plan to introduce a stricter environmental zone in the City area.

The Liberals propose an investigation into digital tools in Stockholm's preschools, aiming for clear guidelines and screen-free environments, except for older children with a pedagogical purpose, citing concerns about screen time's negative impact on development. The city responds that the new preschool curriculum, effective July 1, 2025, already removes digital tool requirements, emphasizes analog learning for younger children, and that the Swedish National Agency for Education is developing support materials. Therefore, the city leadership believes the motion's intentions are met and preschool teachers should retain professional discretion over learning tools.

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm map honor-based oppression in preschools to better implement measures and educate staff, citing a lack of knowledge about the problem's extent and unclear current guidelines. The municipal board's majority rejects an immediate mapping, preferring to await a government inquiry on honor-related violence in preschools and schools, due in 2026, though work against honor-based oppression will continue in the interim.

Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) proposed that Stockholm should aim to maintain at least the same number of parking spaces as in 2020, to support motorists and ensure parking availability keeps pace with city growth. However, several boards and companies, including the Traffic Committee, argued that this contradicts the city's current plan to reduce car traffic by 30% by 2030, improve accessibility, reduce climate impact, and create more appealing public spaces, noting the city already has strategic parking plans and new guidelines in place.

Johan Nilsson (M) motioned for the City of Stockholm to acquire or exchange land to preserve Långbro Park, as a private owner plans to build 12 townhouses and a café on a historically park-integrated property. The City Executive Board, however, believes the detailed planning for the townhouses should proceed and public consultation be held before any decision. While relevant committees deemed the development feasible and Stadshus AB supported housing, they noted that land acquisition was outside their current scope.

Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposes transforming Johanneshovsvägen into a green boulevard with reduced speed limits and fewer lanes. This would free up space for approximately 1045 new homes, wider pedestrian and bicycle paths, and a new square at Lindes light rail station, aiming to create a greener and more vibrant area. The Centre Party's proposal aligns with the city's existing plans for Årstastråket but seeks a more extensive urban development than currently planned.

The Liberals propose changes to Stockholm's land allocation policy, aiming for clearer social requirements when assigning land to developers to build more affordable homes. They also want the Social Welfare Committee to play a larger role in housing for special needs groups. However, the City Executive Board believes current work on new land allocation guidelines and a housing supply action plan already addresses these intentions, and that social considerations are already factored into housing construction.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes developing Kista into a Nordic total defense center to reverse the negative trend of businesses leaving and to increase safety, urging the city to collaborate with the government and others to attract defense-related operations. The City Executive Board responds that the city is already working intensely to develop Kista into a more vibrant and attractive mixed-use area focused on technology and innovation, with defense-related areas already part of the strategy, deeming the motion addressed by ongoing work.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed that Stockholm residents should be able to pay to have a tree planted on public land, contributing to urban greenery without burdening the budget. However, the City Executive Board advises against this, citing past similar initiatives as administratively demanding with issues concerning tree selection and maintenance. The city is instead investing 71 million SEK in tree planting and care, and is developing a new tree policy.

Two SD politicians proposed that all signs and advertisements in Stockholm should primarily be in Swedish, with Swedish text being twice as large and legible as any other language. However, the motion was rejected as most committees and politicians believe the city already complies with language laws and recognizes the need for multilingualism for tourists and new arrivals.

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 urban development, arguing that boards don't always follow them, which risks eroding Stockholm's unique character. The City Executive Board responds that the city is already working to strengthen the integration of these governing documents through follow-ups and training, concluding that the motion's intentions are largely met by ongoing efforts.

Åsa Nilsson Söderström (L) proposed that Stockholm establish a competence center against transnational oppression, aimed at individuals who have sought protection in Sweden but face threats and pressure from their home countries. While the center would gather 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 affair. However, the Liberals argue it could be organized similarly to the Origo center for honor-related violence.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that Stockholm schools should more widely adopt "phonics" to improve students' reading ability, following an international study showing a decline. The majority of the City Executive Board and referral bodies, including Stockholm University, agreed that phonics is an important method but emphasized it's insufficient on its own. They advocate for a balanced approach incorporating multiple methods and focusing on language comprehension, especially for non-native Swedish speakers, and believe politicians should not micromanage teaching methods.

Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (L) proposed consolidating all Stockholm parking garages under Stockholm Parkering to improve efficiency and clarify responsibilities. While many stakeholders supported efficiency, they cited significant challenges, including legal and economic hurdles, with transferring ownership. It was instead suggested that Stockholm Parkering manage the parking areas through long-term agreements, with ownership remaining with current companies or boards, to avoid negative financial impacts on households.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed measures to lower food prices by increasing competition among grocery stores, suggesting the city analyze competition in urban development, introduce a fast-track for new stores, and review existing zoning plans. However, the City Executive Board stated that the city already actively supports more grocery stores through initiatives like "New Grocery Stores – Proactive Planning and Land Allocation," deeming a fast-track unnecessary due to the importance of the zoning process for quality assurance, and a full review of all zoning plans not a priority, a decision that even the Moderates opposed, believing more action is needed.

Svante Linusson (C) proposed moving Stockholm's winter break to an earlier week, such as week 6, to increase the likelihood of snow and winter activities for children staying in the city, given that warmer Februarys often lead to a lack of snow during the current week 9 break. However, the city advises against this, stating that snow in week 6 is uncertain and such a change would cause significant disruption for schools, parents, and businesses that plan around the established break.

Two Sweden Democrats politicians want to halt the construction of an LSS residential home in Lammholmen, citing unsuitable ground conditions, risk of forest destruction, and highway noise. However, the City Executive Board proposes rejecting the motion, arguing there's a great need for LSS housing and that the site's suitability, including noise, natural values, and ground conditions, is thoroughly investigated during the detailed planning process.

Movers propose that the City of Stockholm activate a twin city agreement with Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, and establish a routine for city administrations and companies to regularly donate unused equipment for Ukraine's reconstruction. The majority in the City Executive Board believes the city is already doing a lot and that the agreement can be signed when possible, but the opposition wants immediate action.

Johan Nilsson (M) proposed that all municipal primary and secondary schools in Stockholm should be locked around the clock to unauthorized persons to reduce security risks and improve staff working environments. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding by noting that most schools already have access control systems and work is underway for SISAB to cover installation costs to enable more locked schools. They also emphasize that locked doors do not fully protect against serious violence and a broader security effort is needed.

The Moderates propose that the City of Stockholm regularly map honor-related violence and oppression, at least once per term, to monitor developments and improve the city's efforts, citing the last study from 2019 and the need for updated knowledge to identify abducted children. However, the City Executive Office, Social Welfare Committee, and Education Committee advise against this, arguing that extensive work is already underway, new mappings are resource-intensive, and they prefer to prioritize ongoing work with routines and collaboration to directly combat honor violence.

Councilman Dennis Wedin (M) proposes that Stockholm Globe Arena Fastigheter AB, in collaboration with Hammarby IF and Djurgårdens IF, install new security solutions at the arenas before the 2025 football season. This aims to prevent disturbances and match interruptions, which became more common in 2024. While the City Executive Office believes technical solutions can enhance safety, they also emphasize the need for a cultural shift among spectators and note that new technology to stop pyrotechnics isn't yet available.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes Stockholm sell land it owns outside city limits, primarily in Botkyrka, Ekerö, Huddinge, Järfälla, and Nacka, arguing the city should now prioritize dense, climate-smart development from within rather than outward expansion. The City Executive Office, Development Department, and Real Estate Department respond that they already sell non-strategic land when market conditions allow and have divested most such properties since 2007. The City Council therefore suggests the motion be answered by referring to this ongoing work, without assigning further tasks.

Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposed a central website for all resident proposals, responses, and decisions to increase transparency and make tracking proposals easier. The City Executive Board suggests responding by referencing ongoing work to clarify routines and improve information on the city's website, along with developing a support document for consistent city-wide handling. Naddebo dissents, wanting his motion fully adopted for an immediate central portal.

Two Liberal politicians proposed a pilot project to install solar panels on the facades of municipal buildings to boost renewable energy and reduce climate impact. However, the City Executive Board recommends against a new pilot, citing previous attempts that proved facade-mounted solar panels are less effective and more expensive than rooftop installations. They suggest focusing on existing rooftop solar methods, which offer the best climate benefit for the city's investment.

The Liberals propose Stockholm City hire an "environmental controller" for the extensive Bromma project, ensuring minimal environmental impact, healthy land remediation, and biodiversity preservation. The City Executive Board responds that environmental and climate issues are already a major focus, with an expert sustainability group being formed, thus deeming a separate controller unnecessary at this time. However, the Liberals argue that an expert group alone isn't enough to guarantee transparency and accountability in such a large and complex undertaking.

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm hire a "contract controller" within the Traffic Department. This individual would review, negotiate, and follow up on the city's agreements with external parties to prevent unexpected cost increases in large projects and ensure efficient use of taxpayer money. The Traffic Department responds that they have already strengthened their contract follow-up work and hired a contract controller, thus arguing the proposal is already implemented.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Björn Ljung (Liberals) proposed a strategy to increase allotment gardens and urban farming areas in Stockholm, suggesting an investigation into suitable land, including alternative methods like rooftop and vertical farming, and a simplified process for establishing new plots to reduce wait times and boost well-being and biodiversity. The City Executive Board, supported by several committees, rejected the motion, citing an existing, nearly complete urban farming program that covers the proposal. The Liberals, including the motion's authors, dissented, arguing for faster action and more innovative cultivation solutions.

Moderates proposed the immediate establishment of a new recycling center in western Söderort following the closure of the Sätra recycling center at the turn of 2024/2025, suggesting increased capacity at existing centers and a replacement for Sätra. In response, a new mini-recycling center will open in Skärholmen centrum in September 2025, while the search for a permanent, full-size facility continues. Additionally, Vantör’s recycling center has been rebuilt for increased capacity, and the mobile Returrundan has expanded its stops.

Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed that Stockholm appoint a temporary "waste ombudsman" for two years to review city expenditures in administrations and companies, aiming to identify savings, reduce bureaucracy, and ensure tax money is used more efficiently for core municipal tasks. The majority, led by Karin Wanngård, rejected the proposal, stating that extensive reviews already exist and a new position risks creating duplication of effort and increased bureaucracy.

Two Liberal politicians, Jan Jönsson and Björn Ljung, are urging the City of Stockholm to invest more in innovative housing construction methods, particularly to improve affordability, highlighting the "Kymmendö model" where housing is allocated by need and rent is adjusted. The City Executive Board responded that the city is already promoting innovative housing models and a more inclusive housing market, for example by prioritizing rental apartments and "Stockholmshus" with lower rents. The Liberals, however, contend that the city needs to move beyond policies and implement concrete initiatives, removing obstacles to new models like Kymmendö.

Councillor Johan Kling (C) proposed that the city map and actively reach out to individuals with disabilities who are neither working nor studying, to offer them support for employment and education. The City of Stockholm responded that it already has well-developed initiatives and outreach programs for this group, including through Jobbtorg Stockholm and projects like Lärkedjan. They deemed a new mapping unnecessary, emphasizing the importance of individualized support over separate solutions that could be perceived as stigmatizing.

Maurice Forslund (KD) proposes that the City of Stockholm stop providing financial support to undocumented individuals, arguing that it contributes to a shadow society. This conflicts with current city guidelines that permit emergency aid and support for children, justified by the Social Services Act's ultimate responsibility and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, referring to the city's obligation to provide emergency aid and protect children's rights.

Councillor Andréa Hedin (M) proposed that the City of Stockholm purchase more educational places at folk high schools for under-18s struggling with gymnasium, offering them a new chance in a more adapted environment to reduce the risk of social exclusion. However, the City Executive Board rejected the proposal, stating that current efforts like Ungvux and the municipal activity responsibility (KAA) already cover these needs and provide sufficient support.

The Moderates have proposed amending Stockholm City's financial policy to allow investments in the European defense industry, a move they believe would strengthen Swedish and European security, despite current restrictions on investing in arms producers. The City Executive Office, however, countered that the city lacks funds for such long-term equity placements, as liquid assets are needed for ongoing expenses. Councilor Karin Wanngård (S) added that there are better ways to support Ukraine and that the arms industry already has ample capital.

The Centre Party proposes that Stockholm establish a cross-municipal team, similar to Botkyrka's OTTO team, to more effectively combat organized crime, welfare fraud, and human exploitation, collaborating with police and other authorities to identify and assist victims. The City of Stockholm contends that it already conducts similar work through the "Coordinated Supervision" project, which collaborates across various administrations and agencies, deeming it more appropriate to further develop this existing structure rather than introduce a new parallel one.

Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) proposed that Stockholm use lighter colors for asphalt and pavements, aiming to make the city more attractive, lower temperatures during heatwaves, and save energy on street lighting. The City Executive Board rejected the proposal, stating that increased greenery and more trees are the most important and effective measures to mitigate urban heatwaves.

The Moderates, represented by Dennis Wedin and Henrik Virro, proposed that Stockholm develop a unified strategy for Facility Management (FM) to streamline property maintenance, aiming for cost savings and improved service based on successful initiatives elsewhere. However, the Municipal Board deemed the existing procurement strategy sufficient and cautioned that a new standardized approach could reduce flexibility for city operations, while still emphasizing the ongoing effort to enhance FM activities.

Liberal party members proposed that the City of Stockholm initiate the creation of a Technology College in Stockholm to improve technical education and reduce the skills shortage in industry. However, the administrations and the majority believe the city should not launch its own initiative, as Region Stockholm is already conducting similar work expected to be completed in 2025.

Councillors Kristin Jacobsson and Ismail Ali (both Centre Party) proposed creating family social teams in each district to strengthen cooperation between preschools, parents, and social services, aiming to provide early support for children and families and simplify child welfare referrals. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, citing existing similar initiatives and pilot projects, though the Moderate and Centre Parties have reservations and wish for the motion to be approved.

Liliane Åkerlund (SD) proposes that the municipality investigate the possibility of installing "friendship benches" in parks and other public spaces in Stockholm to encourage social interaction and reduce loneliness. While most committees are positive about the idea, they note that such a project would require coordination and resources, and that similar initiatives are already underway in the city.

Two SD politicians proposed that elected officials convicted of serious sexual or violent crimes should lose their right to financial compensation or severance pay after their assignments end. The City Executive Board states that the city is already reviewing its agreements for transition support and pensions for politicians, and any limitations are being investigated within that work. The Centre Party also wants to limit severance pay, extending it to all serious crimes, including those linked to organized crime, and wants to explore the possibility of reclaiming already disbursed compensation.

The City Executive Board rejected the Centre Party's proposal for mandatory CV courses and a more rigorous application process for municipal summer jobs. The Board stated they are already exploring ways to coordinate summer jobs and provide job-seeking support, and that current applications already resemble real recruitment, adding that further requirements could hinder young people from securing their first job.

Moderates Annika Elmlund and Johan Nilsson proposed making Stockholm greener and more enjoyable by transforming underutilized spaces like flat roofs, areas under bridges, and quays into mini-parks and new swimming spots. They called for the City Planning and Exploitation Committees to identify these locations and develop an action plan. The City Executive Board responded that these matters are already addressed within existing programs, such as "Greener Stockholm" and the "Quay Strategy for the City of Stockholm," deeming new assignments unnecessary.

The Moderates proposed that Stockholm create a plan to build more townhouses and similar homes, arguing for larger residences for families and greater housing variety to keep families in the city. However, the municipal board majority rejected the proposal, stating these issues are already addressed in existing planning, even while sharing the ambition to increase larger homes to reduce overcrowding and segregation in Stockholm.

Center Party councilors Kristin Jacobsson and Jonas Naddebo proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate implementing a "relocation pilot" for the elderly, aiming to ease moves to more suitable homes and improve housing market fluidity. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing existing support from elder care coordinators and home help, plus opportunities from a new Social Services Act. While the Committee for the Elderly is positive about an investigation, it wants a broader scope, whereas the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör and Hässelby-Vällingby districts oppose a new function, pointing to current support. However, the Kungsholmen District Council and the Housing Agency see value in an investigation, believing adapted housing can enhance elder independence and reduce city costs.

Moderates proposed that select Stockholm libraries should be open overnight during school breaks and cultural events, such as Stockholm Culture Night and the 2025 reading holiday, to uniquely stimulate reading among children and adults and address declining youth literacy. The majority of the municipal executive board rejected the proposal, stating libraries already focus on reading promotion and have extended hours with increased budgets, though the Moderates dissented.

The Moderates propose selling Hästa gård, Stockholm's last remaining farm, to a private entity, citing costly renovations and a desire to free up city resources. However, the City Executive Board and several committees advise against the sale, preferring to develop the farm into a public cultural and natural meeting place, recognizing its unique value for local food, recreation, and the management of the Igelbäcken cultural reserve.

The Centre Party proposed a "pothole guarantee" for Stockholm, ensuring repairs to streets and bike lanes within 24 hours of reporting to improve traffic safety and accessibility. However, the City Executive Board advises against this, deeming it not cost-effective; they instead advocate for preventative maintenance and planned repairs of multiple potholes simultaneously. The majority on the Board highlights their increased budget allocation for pothole repairs in 2025.

Two Center Party members proposed establishing a cycling council in Stockholm to improve cycling infrastructure, arguing that poor coordination among various departments currently creates problems like obstacles and reduced accessibility for cyclists. The City Executive Board rejected the motion, stating that a cycling coordinator will be hired to improve collaboration on cycling issues, though the Center Party believes this is insufficient and advocates for a broader cycling council.

The Centre Party proposed that Stockholm enhance bicycle accessibility by connecting existing bike paths, reducing delays at traffic lights and construction sites, and using AI to optimize traffic flow. The City Executive Board responded that these measures are already underway, including addressing "missing links" and optimizing traffic signals, as part of an ambitious cycling plan. However, the district councils of Farsta, Hägersten-Älvsjö, and Södermalm emphasized the importance of local knowledge in planning, with Södermalm specifically noting long traffic light wait times that could benefit from AI.

Tom Hedrup (M) proposed that all Stockholm high school students visit a university at least once before graduation to boost interest in further studies, especially for those from families with no prior academic experience. The City Executive Board responded that high schools already collaborate with universities and Vetenskapens Hus to offer study visits and information, which complements their teaching well. However, the Moderates within the Board believe a clearer strategy is needed to ensure all students receive this opportunity.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed that the City of Stockholm conduct a health economic evaluation of environmental zones class 2 and 3 to determine if the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained is reasonable, arguing that current studies suggest high costs compared to other public interventions and significant economic impact on individuals and businesses. The City Executive Office, Environment and Health Committee, and Traffic Committee rejected the proposal, stating that the city already monitors the zones' effects on air quality, that the positive health effects outweigh the costs, and that such an evaluation would be unreliable due to data scarcity and long-term effects.

The Stockholm City Council is set to decide on amending local public order regulations to allow for a new dog park in Fruängen, Hägersten-Älvsjö. This new approximately 3700 square meter park, located at Lotta Svärds Gränd/Vantörsvägen, aims to enhance safety and address resident requests, with most engaged residents responding positively to the proposal.

The City of Stockholm needs a new supplier for online payment services, allowing residents to digitally pay for various goods and services like marriage ceremonies, map orders, or housing agency fees. The current agreement with Swedbank Pay AB expires on April 4, 2027, so the City Executive Board is proposed to initiate a new procurement to continue offering and developing the city's e-services and payment options, including new methods such as Swish.

The City Council has approved a revised direction for the Bromma Program in Riksby, scaling back the project to save the City of Stockholm and Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB approximately 800 million SEK. This means the northern part of phase 1 and phases 2-4 are removed, though 1,450 homes (half rental apartments) and 1,500-2,000 workplaces are still planned. Unfortunately, planned sports facilities will be cut, but discussions are underway to find alternative solutions for activities like tennis.

The City of Stockholm has decided to build a new artificial turf football pitch with underfloor heating and new service buildings at Gubbängen Sports Field. This project, to be completed in 2028, will include changing rooms, a cafe, and theory rooms. While Hammarby IF Football will lease parts of the new service building and receive priority for the new pitch and the existing Gubbängen BP, all clubs will have access to the facility.

The Traffic Committee proposes proceeding with the repair and widening of the bicycle lanes on Sankt Eriksbron, despite increased costs and delays. Originally estimated at SEK 45 million and completion in 2025, new bids indicate a higher price and a projected completion in 2028, though repairs are deemed necessary for the bridge's function and cyclist safety. Some political parties are critical of the rising expenses and advocate for better oversight of municipal infrastructure projects.

The City of Stockholm proposes a new four-year library plan, "More Relevant Than Ever," to transform libraries from mere lending sites into vital, inclusive community hubs city-wide. This involves creating a unified book collection and larger "node libraries" for broader offerings, with a focus on active public participation and prioritizing children and youth, individuals with disabilities, national minorities, and those with non-Swedish mother tongues.

The City of Stockholm proposes establishing a nature reserve covering approximately 67.2 hectares (19 of which are water) in Ålstensskogen and Storskogen, Bromma, to protect valuable nature and cultural heritage while ensuring recreational access like Solviksbadet. While the decision is broadly welcomed, the Moderates, Sweden Democrats, Liberals, Centre Party, and Christian Democrats have reservations, advocating for the reserve's expansion to include sub-area 25, which has been excluded for potential housing development.

The Stockholm City Council is set to approve the construction start for 122 new rental apartments, including 12 service apartments, in the Fotogenköket 2 block on Lilla Essingen. Construction is planned to begin in late 2026 with occupancy from late 2028, at an estimated cost of SEK 457 million. The Moderates and Sweden Democrats have reserved their position, arguing that Svenska Bostäder should not build expensive apartments but instead focus on renovating existing properties or selling the project to a private developer to reduce company debt.

Stockholm City Council plans to approve the construction of 156 new rental apartments and three commercial premises in the Bjurö 3 block in Farsta strand, a project led by Familjebostäder. Estimated to cost 712 million SEK, construction is set to begin in 2026 and conclude in 2030. The Moderates and Christian Democrats object due to concerns about rising costs potentially leading to high rents, while the Sweden Democrats oppose more rental units in Farsta strand, citing social issues.

Stockholmshem plans to construct 140 new rental apartments and 6 LSS housing units along Björketorpsvägen in Norra Ängby/Beckomberga. This project, estimated at 470 million SEK, is expected to be ready for occupancy by late 2029 and fully completed in 2030, despite objections from the Moderates and Sweden Democrats regarding the use of green spaces and the densification of villa areas.

Stockholmshem plans to construct 76 new rental apartments in two high-rise buildings in Solberga, Hägersten, on the Taffelstenen 1 property. An existing boiler house and office building will also be redeveloped, with the boiler house potentially becoming a cultural center. This project, with a total cost of 305 million SEK, is scheduled to begin in late 2026, with occupancy expected from the third quarter of 2028.

The City of Stockholm proposes that three committees – the Labor Market Committee, the Social Welfare Committee, and the Committee for the Elderly – be authorized to decide on social services provided to residents without individual needs assessments, aiming to streamline the implementation of the new Social Services Act until 2028. These city-wide decisions will allow district administrations to provide input, which is expected to expedite the process and enhance access to social services.

Dennis Wedin (M) has questioned Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) about resuming the investigation into building over the Nynäsvägen highway. The road, used by up to 76,000 vehicles daily, causes noise, exhaust fumes, and divides the Gamla Enskede and Johanneshov districts. A previous investigation was halted in 2025 due to financial reasons, but Wedin claims there were no concrete financial calculations proving the project was too expensive.

Johan Paccamonti (M) has questioned Climate and Environment Commissioner Åsa Lindhagen (MP) regarding how the new housing policy impacts Stockholm's green spaces, specifically criticizing that increased density, which means building more apartments in villa areas, leads to the development of green spaces like Myrberget in Bromma. Paccamonti wants to know why these areas, despite their importance for recreation, nature, and even Alviksskolan's sports lessons, are being sacrificed and what the Commissioner plans to do to halt the exploitation of Myrberget.

The Moderates are questioning why parts of Ålstensskogen and Storskogen in Bromma are excluded from a new nature reserve, fearing these areas are instead slated for large-scale, non-transparent development. They specifically ask about the planned construction and why this information is withheld from residents. City Planning Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) confirmed that while a 67.2-hectare nature reserve is established, the Exploitation Committee has allocated land for approximately 50 new rental apartments (Stockholmshus) to diversify housing in southern Bromma, asserting that the process is open and democratic, with public input opportunities during detailed planning.

Andréa Hedin (M) questioned Vice Mayor Alexander Ojanne (S) about the evaluated School Social Teams Plus (SST+) project, which helps students with high absenteeism return to school, specifically why only 28 of 60 spots were filled, how it will be developed to reach more students, and when it will be available to all students in Stockholm. Ojanne responded that SST+ has many positive effects, and the city has allocated funds to make it permanent and gradually implement it, with a new, integrated approach currently being tested in certain districts and set for evaluation in summer 2026 before wider rollout.

The Moderates question when seniors will again be allowed to drink alcohol in the city's care homes and community centers, challenging the red-green majority on the lack of progress despite their promises. This comes after Väduren senior residence in Vasastan banned alcohol consumption, while Hornstull service house reportedly seeks temporary permits. The Moderates want to know if internal disagreements within the majority are causing delays and how the Commissioner for Senior Citizens views the situation.

Kristin Jacobsson (C) questioned why residents at the Väduren senior housing are no longer allowed to drink alcoholic beverages, such as a digestif with coffee, on their own initiative in the common room during Thursday coffee. She called it unnecessary paternalism towards adults. The Elder and Culture Commissioner, Torun Boucher (V), responded that the city must comply with the Alcohol Act when the district administration organizes activities, but a solution has been found: residents can continue their "cognac coffee" if they arrange the gathering themselves in the common room, without the district administration as the organizer. This ensures both legal compliance and respect for the residents' wishes.

Councillor Svante Linusson (Centre Party) questioned Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (Green Party) about banning petrol-powered vehicles from bike lanes due to pollution and health risks. Strömgren acknowledged the concern about emissions but explained that current law prevents banning only petrol mopeds; a ban would have to include all mopeds, even electric ones, pushing them into car traffic and creating new safety hazards. Therefore, Strömgren has contacted the Minister for Infrastructure to propose legislative changes that would allow for environmental zones or reclassification of vehicle types, enabling specific measures against fossil-fueled mopeds.

The Moderates questioned the city's plan to spend money on marketing campaigns for municipal schools instead of focusing on improving teaching quality, asking about the campaign's cost, preschool directives for informing parents about school choice, and evaluation plans. Education Commissioner Emilia Bjuggren (S) responded that the education administration would not engage in beautifying advertising, but rather targeted informational efforts during school choice to announce information meetings, emphasizing the importance of cooperation between preschools and schools and the city's desire to inform parents about what municipal schools offer, such as facilities and licensed teachers, to enable informed choices.

Tom Hedrup (M) has questioned Housing Commissioner Deniz Butros (V) regarding the significant and increasing debt of Stockholm's municipal housing companies (Stockholmshem, Familjebostäder, and Svenska Bostäder), which currently stands at approximately SEK 36 billion, incurring about SEK 1 billion in annual interest. Hedrup is asking about the debt's future trajectory given plans to construct 11,500 new homes, and whether there's a strategy to reduce it or if property sales might become necessary.

Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned Housing Commissioner Deniz Butros (V) on Stockholm's housing policy, criticizing plans to build more multi-family and rental housing in villa and condominium areas, fearing this would reduce green spaces. Paccamonti argued that policy should align with residents' desires for detached homes and prioritize protecting existing green areas.

Nike Örbrink (KD) questioned Finance Commissioner Karin Wanngård (S) regarding Stockholm's contradictory stance on the Eastern Link, having signed a declaration of intent for its construction yet soon after expressing negativity towards the project. Wanngård responded that the declaration was a prerequisite for state funding for subway expansion and Spårväg Syd, but did not signify a commitment to build the road. Stockholm's red-green majority opposes the Eastern Link, deeming it unprofitable, environmentally detrimental, and a potential cause for increased congestion charges.

Per Rosencrantz (M) questioned Stockholm's increasing debt, nearing SEK 100 billion, particularly criticizing the SEK 1 billion purchase of Hjulstahem, arguing these high loans don't create new housing. Finance Commissioner Karin Wanngård (S) countered that the Hjulstahem acquisition strengthens Familjebostäder's finances, gives the city more control over Hjulsta's development, and will be financed by rental income, expecting positive long-term results.

Therese Lindström (M) inquired with Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) about the traffic chaos in southern Stockholm, particularly around Gullmarsplan, Hammarby, and Skansbron, due to concurrent roadworks, asking if it could have been avoided and what measures are planned. Strömgren responded that major projects in a growing city inevitably cause disruptions, and while the Traffic Office coordinates efforts and sets high standards for traffic during construction, the one-way street on Skansbron was necessary for worker safety. Traffic on Skansbron is expected to normalize by December 9, 2025, with Johanneshov traffic interchange opening in late 2025.

Nike Örbrink (KD) questioned Finance Commissioner Karin Wanngård (S) regarding Stockholm's business climate, citing a significant drop in the city's ranking according to the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise. Wanngård disagreed with this assessment, referencing other reports that portray Stockholm as innovative and attractive for businesses. She further detailed ongoing efforts, including a new business policy, increased business developers, and simplified building permit processes, aimed at enhancing services for entrepreneurs.

An interpellation by Andréa Hedin (M) raised concerns about the unsafe traffic environment around Hässelby Villastad School, citing chaos and worry due to narrowed roads and changed parking rules. School Commissioner Emilia Bjuggren (S) responded that work in autumn 2025 addressed safety with new pedestrian and bicycle paths, raised crosswalks, and restored staff parking. She also emphasized that numerous car-driven students create high traffic volumes and encouraged shared parental responsibility for traffic safety, promoting safe walking and cycling.

Dennis Wedin (M) questioned Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) about upgrading Spånga station, highlighting its current heavy use by 8,000 daily passengers and projected increase due to 3,500 new homes. Wedin proposed a new western entrance, station expansion, improved pedestrian bridge, and bus terminal development to enhance the station. Strömgren acknowledged the station's issues and shared responsibility among Trafikverket, Region Stockholm, and Stockholm City, stating that comprehensive analyses are needed from Region Stockholm and Trafikverket for further planning and funding, though the city is already planning improvements to the immediate surrounding areas.

Nike Örbrink (KD) questioned Elder and Culture Commissioner Torun Boucher (V) on how Stockholm plans to address the projected doubling of elderly care needs by 2040, specifically criticizing limitations on private builders and rising municipal debt. Boucher responded that the city will construct new care homes itself to ensure long-term control and quality, arguing that past privatizations increased costs and affirming the city will continue strategic property divestments but not sell off welfare infrastructure like elder care.

The Moderates questioned Property Commissioner Clara Lindblom (V) on her plan to improve Hötorgshallen and the market trade at Hötorget, citing neglect and poor management. Lindblom responded that Hötorgshallen is thriving with increased visitors and sales, but acknowledged the need for maintenance, which is being investigated. The city is also working to improve the market environment and adapt trade based on citizen dialogues.

Dennis Wedin (Moderate Party) proposes reinstituting Stockholm's Water Festival to make the city more enjoyable and highlight its unique waterfront location, suggesting a modern take with drone shows and a focus on renewable energy. Finance Commissioner Karin Wanngård (Social Democratic Party) disagrees that Stockholm has become boring, citing existing cultural and sporting events, but is open to new, modern, and sustainable water-themed experiences, though she believes a direct reintroduction of the old festival is unnecessary and would compete with current offerings.

The Moderates question why Stockholm's market stall fees are increasing, arguing it harms small businesses and makes the city duller, noting that fees are rising at 32 of nearly 40 squares, including Medborgarplatsen and Kista Torg. The Green Party responds that the fee hike updates a 2012 system to reflect the attractiveness and commercial value of each square, aiming for more transparent and localized pricing to foster sustainable, quality market trading, while still being affordable compared to renting commercial space.

Per Rosencrantz (M) questioned Social Affairs Commissioner Alexander Ojanne (S) regarding escalating insecurity in Hjorthagen, following the opening of a 40-unit halfway house for the homeless and those with substance abuse issues. Residents and businesses report drug-affected individuals, needles near playgrounds, thefts, and general unrest, with police warning of a potential open drug scene. Ojanne responded that threatening situations and crimes are unacceptable and that measures have been implemented to restore calm, including deploying outreach workers and security guards, increasing cleaning, and collaborating closely with the police. Additionally, disruptive residents have been relocated, and Ojanne believes these efforts have reduced reported problems significantly.

Nike Örbrink (KD) questioned City Planning Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) regarding the Tenants' Association's report proposing more rental apartments in villa areas to counteract segregation. Örbrink raised concerns about forced mixing of villa areas, arguing it's about correcting "undesirable differences" rather than breaking segregation, and asked if villa owners contribute to segregation and how the city’s approach differs from the Tenants' Association's vision, particularly concerning the preservation of garden city characteristics. Valeskog responded that Stockholm aims for mixed development to combat segregation, an objective supported by city policy documents, including those backed by the Christian Democrats. He affirmed that new projects are carefully assessed against policies, cultural-historical values are considered, and noted senior housing near villa areas as a way to allow elderly residents to remain in their neighborhoods.

The Municipal Executive Board has developed a revised action plan for an age-friendly city, aiming to ensure that older Stockholmers have good opportunities to maintain their health, well-being, and participation in society. The Guardianship Office has reviewed the plan and considers it sound, aligning with their own work for the elderly, including ensuring those who need it receive a guardian or administrator. The plan focuses on five areas: participation and influence, collaboration, social inclusion, housing and urban environment, and communication and information.

The Council for Persons with Disabilities discussed several issues concerning individuals with disabilities. Topics included an annual report on quality reviews in social services, a digital service for seeking support and services, and how to improve coordinated individual planning meetings (SIP) to be more user-friendly and client-centered.

Stockholm City will adjust the fees for municipal political assignments from January 1, 2026. This occurs annually and follows the development of the price base amount, which for 2026 is SEK 59,200. The aim is to ensure that compensation for those holding political positions, such as members of the city council and committees, remains updated and fair.

The Stockholm County Association for Guardians and Trustees is applying for SEK 70,000 in funding for 2026. This non-profit organization, established by the Stockholm City Chief Guardian, provides training and advice to guardians and trustees in the county. The Chief Guardianship Administration believes the association performs a valuable service that aids citizens requiring a guardian or trustee and recommends that the grant be approved.

The Stockholm Supervisory Board has presented its 2025 activity report. The board is responsible for ensuring that appointed guardians and administrators properly manage their duties and assets for individuals unable to manage their finances, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, and unaccompanied minors. In 2025, the board focused on reducing processing times, addressing shortcomings identified by the County Administrative Board, and preparing for digital services, largely catching up on cases from 2024.

The Parliamentary Ombudsman (JO) criticizes Stockholm's Guardianship Authority for taking almost a year to review and pay out remuneration for an annual statement during 2024. The JO also believes the authority's review must not be too superficial and must check more than just formal details.

The Supervisory Board has approved its operational plan for 2026. The plan focuses on shortening processing times, recruiting more guardians and administrators, and developing digital services. Much of the work in 2026 will involve preparing for and implementing changes expected from a new government proposal on guardianship.

The board of AB Stockholmshem has approved a list of referrals the company has received and responded to. These referrals concern, among other things, an action plan for children's rights, the use of student housing, and a report from Boverket on matters according to the Planning and Building Act. This is a routine administrative measure to inform the board about ongoing matters.

Stockholmshem reports on its housing production, aiming to build at least 290 new apartments annually until 2026. Currently, they are constructing over 400 apartments in Bromma, Södermalm, and Solberga, projected for occupancy in the second quarter of 2026. The overall goal is to build 3500 new homes during the mandate period, with at least half being "Stockholmshus" (a specific type of affordable housing).

The board of AB Stockholmshem has appointed Olle Torefeldt as representative and Desiree Anger as alternate for the general meetings in the subsidiaries AB Stockholmshem Fastighetsnät and Stockholmshem i Skärholmen AB for the years up to and including 2026. The representative's role is to vote on matters concerning the companies' finances, such as annual reports and profit distribution, and to decide on board discharge. This is a formal decision to ensure Stockholmshem is represented at its subsidiaries' meetings.

The board of AB Stockholmshem has reviewed and approved ten of the company's policy documents for the coming year. These include a new personal data policy and an updated housing rental policy. The latter means that, in addition to those with housing adaptation decisions, elderly individuals can also receive assistance with relocating to smaller or more accessible homes if their current property is to be redeveloped.

AB Stockholmshem, Stockholm's municipal housing company, has approved its financial monthly report for December 2025. The report indicates that the company's internal loans amounted to just over 14 billion Swedish kronor, representing 90.5% of the permitted limit. The average interest rate for Stockholmshem in 2026 is projected to be 2.69%, which is slightly higher than budgeted and may result in increased interest expenses for the company.

The board of Stockholmshem has approved the company's operational plan and budget for 2026, but only plans for the construction start of 76 new homes, which Liberalerna and Moderaterna criticize. They believe Stockholmshem should focus on developing Stockholm houses with good quality and environmental performance, and collaborate with commercial actors, while also calling for larger apartments (70-90 sqm with 4-6 rooms) to lower production costs and meet tenant needs. The CEO also reported that resident relocation in the newly built Måsholmen 33 in Skärholmen is on par with other new constructions.

This item concerns the board of Stockholm Water and Waste approving a list of various consultation responses and an audit report. The consultation responses cover topics such as a national nature restoration plan, a new environmental assessment authority, water action programs, hydrogen in the energy system, property formation, planning and building law (PBL) matters, and the need for stricter control of waste management. The audit report focuses on countering work-related crime.

Stockholms Stadshus AB is updating its guidelines for how its subsidiaries should plan and manage major investments. This applies to projects costing over 300 million SEK or deemed strategically important. The changes, effective January 1, 2026, clarify how cost development and inflation should be factored into investment calculations, aiming to make projects more realistic and transparent from the outset.

Stockholm Water and Waste (SVOA) reports on 43 major investment projects, totaling nearly SEK 37 billion, concerning water, sewage, and waste management. The report summarizes the progress of these projects, including budget management, timelines, and how unforeseen events are handled. For instance, a new sorting facility in Högdalen is now operational, and work on Stockholm's future sewage treatment (SFA) and water supply (SFV) is moving forward, including a new reservoir in Tensta.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is announcing procurements for the period July-December 2025, valued at over 10 million SEK. These procurements cover services such as waste management for wood and brush, operation of vacuum waste facilities in Hagastaden and Kista, maintenance of water reservoirs, renovation of water pipes in Ålsten, and various services related to sewage pipes and odor reduction.

Stockholm City and Nacka Municipality have developed a joint action program for Strömmen. This program aims to improve the water quality and habitat for animals and plants in Strömmen, which currently has unsatisfactory ecological and chemical status. The proposals include reducing pollution from sediment, traffic, and sewage, as well as improving the physical environment. The costs for these measures are estimated to be hundreds of millions of kronor for managing contaminated sediment and soil, and approximately 22 million kronor for stormwater measures. The program is a prerequisite for the city to build 140,000 new homes by 2035 while adhering to environmental quality standards.

The project for Stockholm's future wastewater treatment (SFA) has an update for February 2026. Work on rebuilding Henriksdals treatment plant and a new tunnel from Bromma is proceeding as planned, with wastewater from Bromma expected to be diverted to Henriksdals in 2028 and the entire plant completed by 2031. The budget is 19.5 billion SEK (at March 2023 price levels), and the project is following its revised time and cost plan, despite ongoing risks concerning the facility's condition, market conditions, and material availability.

Stockholm Water and Waste proposes a revised directional decision for the Central Bromma, Riksby project, which will involve building 1450 new homes and commercial spaces in southern Riksby. The budget for the planning phase is increased by SEK 20.8 million to a total of SEK 45 million, with an estimated overall project budget of SEK 636 million. This cost increase is partly due to extensive groundwork, but the project's overall scope has been reduced to improve profitability.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall (SVOA) proposes building a new water treatment plant on Lovön island to ensure the drinking water supply after 2045, as the current plants are old and in poor condition. The project is estimated to cost SEK 8.2 billion, potentially rising to SEK 10.6 billion due to inflation, and aims to meet future demands from population growth and climate change, though it faces complexities and risks of delays from planning and permit processes, including the need to repeal parts of a nature reserve on Lovön.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall proposes to continue its collaboration with the Skansen Foundation to provide educational support for children and young people at the Baltic Sea Science Center. This ensures that students can continue to learn about water, waste, and the environment at Skansen, with a focus on the Baltic Sea. The proposed agreement, worth up to 3 million SEK annually, aims to disseminate information about sustainable behavior to young Stockholmers.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB presents its financial monthly report for November 2025. The company's loan debt amounts to SEK 33,918 million, with an interest rate of 2.65 percent for November. The board is expected to approve this report, and an extension of the loan limit to SEK 43,000 million for 2026 has already been approved.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall's board has approved the company's budget and operational plan for 2026. They are also requesting an increase in their credit line from 37 billion to 43 billion SEK for planned investments. Additionally, it was decided to receive a written request for the board to be presented with an account of innovation projects within the water and wastewater sector.

Stockholm Water AB's board has been informed about several consultation responses related to environmental issues, including a national nature restoration plan, a new environmental review authority, and water action programs. The board also received an audit report on combating work-life crime.

Stockholms Stadshus AB is adjusting its guidelines for how subsidiary companies should handle major investments exceeding 300 million SEK or those of strategic importance. These changes, effective January 1, 2026, include clearer rules for calculating future cost increases (inflation/index) in project budgets. The aim is to strengthen and clarify the governance of the city's large investment projects.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall (SVOA) has been tasked with improving the water quality in Stockholm's lakes and rivers by reducing phosphorus and copper emissions from stormwater and wastewater. While SVOA met its targets in 2025, the work continues with new treatment facilities and measures against misconnected pipes to achieve good water status by 2035.

The Stockholm City Council will decide on an action program for Strömmen to improve water quality and the habitat for animals and plants. Strömmen currently has poor ecological and chemical status due to pollution from, among other things, port areas, traffic, and wastewater. The measures, which are estimated to cost hundreds of millions of kronor, include cleaning up bottom sediment and stormwater, as well as improving the physical habitat.

This report from Stockholm Vatten AB details the status of 43 major investment projects exceeding 200 million SEK each, with a total projected cost of nearly 37 billion SEK. These projects primarily involve expanding and maintaining water and sewer infrastructure, enabling new housing developments, and improving wastewater treatment. The report outlines progress, timelines, and any cost deviations for each project, including climate adaptation measures and new water reservoirs.

The board of Stockholm Vatten AB has approved a report detailing procurement decisions made in the second half of 2025 for contracts exceeding 10 million SEK. These decisions cover essential services for the city's water and waste management, including maintenance of vacuum waste systems in Hagastaden and Kista Norra, purification of water reservoirs, renovation of water pipes in Ålsten, and service of sewage pipes and odor reducers. The CEO made these decisions after consultation with the procurement council, and they are now being reported to the board.

Stockholm Vatten AB has approved a list of investment decisions, ranging from 10 to 50 million SEK, made by the CEO between July and December 2025. These investments cover various projects, including ventilation upgrades at Norsborg waterworks, replacing deteriorating water and sewer lines in Nälsta, and crucial connections to the new sewer tunnel at several locations across the city. The approved investments also include water and sewer work for new housing developments in several areas and improvements to existing networks in Birkastan-Röda Bergen and Nybrogatan.

Stockholm's Future Wastewater Treatment (SFA) is a major project to close the Bromma treatment plant and redirect its wastewater to the Henriksdal treatment plant, which is being expanded and modernized to meet new environmental requirements and accommodate a growing population. The project, budgeted at approximately 22.5 billion Swedish kronor, is expected to be fully completed by 2031. Despite previous delays and cost increases due to market conditions and complex work, the project is proceeding according to its revised schedule and budget.

Stockholm Vatten AB will appoint Sigrid De Geyter as its representative at the annual general meeting of the Mälaren Water Conservation Association on May 5, 2026. The association, a non-profit organization, works to improve the decision-making basis for urban planning and other activities that affect water conditions in Lake Mälaren.

Stockholm Vatten AB will appoint representatives to the Tyresåns Water Management Association, an organization dedicated to preserving and developing the natural values within the Tyresåns lake system, which spans multiple municipalities. Sigrid De Geyter will serve as a representative at the association's meetings until 2027, and Gabrielle Gjerswold and Bertil Timan are nominated for the board. This signifies Stockholm's active participation in efforts to protect and enhance the area's water environment.

Stockholm Vatten AB, responsible for the city's water and wastewater, will appoint representatives to Svenskt Vatten's annual meetings in 2026. Two representatives from the majority and two from the opposition will attend the Water Assembly in Malmö, and one representative will be appointed to represent the company at Svenskt Vatten's general meeting.

Stockholm Vatten AB requires an additional SEK 140 million to repair and replace an outlet pipe at the Henriksdal Wastewater Treatment Plant. The existing pipe, dating from the 1940s, is damaged and is releasing untreated wastewater near the shoreline at Saltsjökvarn, violating its environmental permit. The increased cost is primarily due to unexpected seepages of lake water during construction, necessitating extra measures to complete the project safely and environmentally responsibly.

Stockholm Water AB proposes approving an increased budget of SEK 38 million, to a total of SEK 60 million, for a project on Hornsbruksgatan. This is due to unexpectedly large amounts of rock and proximity to the subway, which is delaying the work to renew water and sewer lines for 36 new homes. The project is planned for completion in the third quarter of 2027 and aims to improve the water and sewer supply and reduce the risk of basement flooding in the area.

Stockholm Vatten AB plans to invest up to SEK 225 million to modernize and improve the treatment process at Henriksdal Wastewater Treatment Plant. The funds will be used to replace old machinery in the aeration basins (bioline 2-5) to ensure the plant can handle future wastewater treatment needs, especially with the connection of wastewater from Bromma Wastewater Treatment Plant. The work will be carried out in stages between 2026 and 2031.

Stockholm Vatten AB plans to replace a 470-meter main water pipe in Skarpnäck, on Gamla Tyresövägen, due to its sensitive concrete type which poses an explosion-like cracking risk. The new steel pipe will be thicker (from 600 mm to 800 mm) to secure water supply for parts of Stockholm, Nacka, Värmdö, and Tyresö, and to reduce flood risks, including in allotment garden areas. The project is estimated to cost 52 million SEK and also mandates the use of electric work vehicles to lower emissions and noise.

Stockholm Vatten AB plans to construct a stormwater park in Tenstadalen to treat stormwater runoff from the Lunda industrial area before it enters Bällstaån. The park aims to reduce pollutants such as phosphorus, copper, and zinc, which is crucial for improving water quality in Bällstaån and the Mälaren-Ulvsunda Lake. The project has experienced increased costs and delays compared to earlier decisions, partly due to poorer ground conditions and the cancellation of a planned collaboration with the City of Stockholm.

Stockholm Water AB is proposed to adopt a revised strategic decision for Central Bromma and Riksby, part of a larger program aiming to build approximately 1,450 homes and commercial spaces. The budget for the planning phase is increased by SEK 20.8 million to a total of SEK 45 million, with an estimated total project budget of SEK 636 million. This increase is primarily due to higher costs for ground reinforcement and adaptation of the water and sewer system, even though the project scope has been reduced from 24 to 16 blocks to improve profitability.

Stockholm Vatten AB plans to invest 250 million SEK in Svartvik, Huddinge municipality, to expand the water and sewer system. This investment is part of Huddinge municipality's plan to develop the area with approximately 400 new homes, replacing the current recreational cabins. The project includes constructing new pipelines and four pumping stations to enable municipal water and sewage services, a prerequisite for the new detailed development plan.

Stockholm Vatten AB intends to construct a new waterworks on Lovön, as current facilities are aging and cannot guarantee drinking water supply beyond 2045. The project is estimated at approximately 8.2 billion SEK, with a total budget of up to 10.6 billion SEK to account for risks and inflation. This initiative aims to secure future drinking water quality and capacity for the Stockholm region amidst population growth and climate change. Construction involves revoking a portion of the Lovön nature reserve and land acquisition, carrying risks of delays and cost increases.

Stockholm Water and Waste wants to continue its collaboration with Skansen and their Baltic Sea Science Center. The agreement focuses on providing educational support to children and young people, particularly middle and high school students, to teach them more about water, the environment, and sustainability related to the Baltic Sea. The new agreement could cost up to 3 million SEK annually and is proposed to be signed without an open procurement, as Stockholm Water considers Skansen's operations to be unique and best suited for the task.

The board of Stockholm Vatten AB has approved the financial report for November 2025. The report shows the company's loan debt at SEK 33,918 million, an increase of SEK 231 million from the previous month, with an interest rate of 2.65 percent. The company has received approval to increase its loan limit to SEK 43,000 million for 2026.

Stockholm Water AB's board has approved the company's budget and operational plan for 2026. A specific point was raised concerning the importance of innovation and development in the water and wastewater sector to reduce climate impact and enhance Stockholm's attractiveness. The board will receive an overview of research and development projects in the water and wastewater area, including those Stockholm Water AB is involved in, with an assessment of opportunities for further participation.

This agenda item concerns the approval of several consultation responses by the board of Stockholm Avfall AB. These responses relate to proposals for a national nature restoration plan, a new environmental assessment authority, and an action program for water in the Northern Baltic Sea water district. The board also reviewed an audit report on combating work-related crime.

Stockholm City Hall AB is updating its guidelines for how subsidiaries should plan and manage major investments exceeding 300 million SEK or those deemed strategically important.

This aims to provide better control and clarity over project finances for Stockholm's residents.

This report provides an update on major investment projects managed by Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB, all exceeding a 200 million SEK budget. It details the status of 43 projects, with 29 currently in their implementation phase. Several projects, including new water mains in Flemingsbergsdalen, wastewater treatment upgrades in Henriksdal, and new reservoirs in Tensta and Uggleviken, have experienced delays or budget revisions due to factors like increased costs and complex geological conditions. Two climate adaptation projects in Bromstensstaden are being terminated due to cost-benefit concerns, and the project for a new recycling center in Lövsta is on hold pending a court decision.

Stockholm Avfall AB reports on procurements exceeding 10 million Swedish kronor that were decided by the CEO from July to December 2025. This includes, among other things, the treatment of wood and branches from recycling centers, operation and maintenance of vacuum waste systems in Hagastaden and Kista Norra, as well as maintenance of water reservoirs and water and sewer lines in various parts of the city.

Stockholm Avfall AB, responsible for the city's waste management, will send participants to the Avfall Sverige annual meeting and conference in Västerås in 2026. Four board members, two from the majority and two from the opposition, will attend the conference. Additionally, a representative will be appointed to represent the company at the formal annual meeting.

The board of Stockholm Avfall AB is proposed to make a revised decision for the vacuum waste collection facility in Bromma Riksby. This means the planned vacuum waste facility for new housing and businesses in Bromma Riksby will be reduced in scope, leading to the termination of several sub-projects and a decrease in the budget for the planning phase by SEK 4.4 million to SEK 5.6 million. The total budget for the project is estimated at SEK 67.3 million, a reduction of SEK 129 million compared to previous plans. The vacuum waste facility will handle residual waste, food waste, and plastic packaging for approximately 1450 new homes and commercial premises.

Stockholm Avfall AB proposes a new service guarantee for waste collection, named "Närsorterat" (Nearby Sorted). This guarantee is expanded to cover households with detached houses or terraced houses that sort residual waste, food waste, and packaging waste, instead of just residual waste as before. If waste is not collected on three separate occasions within the same quarter, the household will receive a 20 SEK deduction on their next invoice per missed collection.

The November 2025 monthly report shows Stockholm Water and Waste Ltd.'s debt reached SEK 33,918 million, an increase of SEK 231 million from the previous month.

The monthly interest rate for November was 2.65 percent, with a forecast indicating it could rise to 3.27 percent by November 2028.

Stockholm Waste AB's board has approved the company's budget and operational plan for 2026. This budget includes a plan for waste and water management, with a focus on ensuring good health, quality of life, and environmental protection for residents. The board emphasizes cost control, transparency, and leveraging new innovations to reduce climate impact and keep fees down for households.

The City Executive Board has circulated a proposed action plan for an age-friendly city to various committees and administrations for feedback. The Culture Administration and City Archives approve of the changes, especially those promoting increased participation and social inclusion for seniors. They also highlight the crucial role of city libraries in supporting non-digital seniors to avoid exclusion. The Culture Administration has no further comments beyond those already submitted.

The Culture Committee is set to approve the City Archives' activity report for 2025. The City Archives preserve Stockholm's history and make it accessible to the public, handling approximately 21,000 archive requests during the year, an increase of nearly nine percent. They also digitalize materials and offer programs and viewings that attracted nearly 7,000 visitors, with a focus on women's history and other underrepresented groups.

This matter concerns the City Archives reporting various delegated decisions. These decisions involve revisions to rules for the preservation and culling of documents from EU projects, as well as for Stockholm Business Region and the Cemeteries Administration. Essentially, these decisions govern how the city's documents are managed and stored.

Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm AB presented its 2025 annual report, revealing a record-breaking 20,861 apartments allocated, including thousands for youth and students, and contributing to housing for vulnerable groups.

Additionally, the company is constructing new rental units, with 166 apartments in production and 79 new projects initiated this year, while also improving customer satisfaction, enhancing safety in areas like Tensta and Rinkeby, and reducing its climate impact through efforts in energy use and recycling.

This matter concerns the board receiving various documents and information, rather than making new decisions directly affecting residents. They will be informed of minutes from the Council for Disability Issues, new guidelines for the companies' investments, and several consultations regarding housing in Midsommarkransen, the detailed development plan for Bällsta Hamn, and a roadmap for the city center Kista-Sollentuna-Häggvik.

This matter concerns the adoption of an updated working procedure and instructions for Stockholm City Parking AB. The most significant change is that it will no longer be possible to receive documents by mail; instead, all communication will be conducted digitally via an e-service. The aim is to streamline the board's work and adapt the procedures for how meetings are held and decisions are made, including rules for remote participation and handling sensitive information.

This decision mandates that Stockholm City's companies must adhere to several new municipal guidelines. These include working against racism, complying with new procurement rules, following a waste management plan for 2025-2030, and establishing clear policies against bribery and conflicts of interest.

The report also includes an interest rate forecast for the municipal group's loans and describes how the company's loans are adapted to the city's finance policy.

Stockholm Parkering's 2025 annual report shows a better financial result than budgeted, mainly due to increased revenue from electric vehicle charging and visitor parking, contributing 170 million kronor to Stockholm City Hall AB. Planned investments in new parking garages have been postponed, but work continues on creating more parking spaces in the city with a focus on sustainability and accessibility.

The board of Stockholm City Parking AB has approved its budget for 2026, projecting a profit of 100 million SEK, exceeding the City Council's requirement of 80 million SEK due to higher revenues from electric car charging and parking. The company will continue to be the city's charging operator and manage parking facilities built by housing companies. Additionally, several parking solution projects have concluded, while others, including those at Kristineberg and Årstafältet, have been revised to continue.

The City of Stockholm plans to renovate Sankt Eriksbron between Kungsholmen and Vasastaden, including widening the bike lanes, due to rust and damage to the bridge structure. While the project costs have increased, the city deems these measures crucial for the bridge's function and lifespan, and to improve safety and flow for cyclists.

Council member Hanna Werner (M) proposed developing Odenplan into a greener, more vibrant, and safer urban square with better bicycle parking. The city responded that efforts to green Odenplan are already underway with flower urns and temporary furnishings, and improvements to the bicycle garage are planned to meet e-bike demand. However, the majority believes a major overhaul of Odenplan should not be planned currently due to ongoing and future subway construction.

Councilor Claes Nyberg (C) proposed introducing sibling priority for preschool placements, meaning children would get priority if a sibling attends a nearby or linked primary school, aiming to ease family stress and promote equality. The City Executive Board rejected the proposal, finding it unjustified without extensive investigations, citing differing organizational structures between preschools and schools and varying conditions across the city.

Council members Ismail Ali and Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that all Stockholm preschools should have the opportunity to garden as part of their teaching, citing benefits for children's health, motor skills, and understanding of nature and sustainability. They called for a plan to integrate this into operations, even for preschools without their own yards. The City of Stockholm responded that gardening is already part of the curriculum and that initiatives for greener preschool yards and sustainability are ongoing, thus deeming a new city-wide plan unnecessary.

Liberal Party members proposed that Stockholm investigate the living conditions of elderly LGBTQI+ individuals in elder care, require LGBTQI+ competence in elder care procurements, and offer continuous training to staff on respectful treatment. They argue that elderly LGBTQI+ individuals are particularly vulnerable and may conceal their identity due to fear of discrimination. The City Executive Board proposes responding to the motion by referencing ongoing work with the city's action plan for LGBTQI+ rights and other initiatives aimed at ensuring inclusive elder care, rather than a separate investigation or temporary projects.

Kristin Jacobsson (C) proposed Stockholm city adhere to the Council of Europe's anti-trafficking convention by granting potential victims 30-day reflection permits and a "rights package" including housing, legal aid, and psychological support.

The City of Stockholm will streamline decisions regarding social services interventions that do not require a needs assessment, a new provision under the updated Social Services Act. The Labour Market, Social, and Elderly Care Committees have been temporarily authorized until 2028 to make these city-wide decisions, aiming to accelerate the implementation of the new law, though district administrations will still be consulted. The Moderates criticized the pace of the transition and requested more frequent follow-ups for increased transparency.

The City of Stockholm supports the Ministry of Education's proposal for the Swedish Prison and Probation Service to be responsible for schooling children and young people in prison. While positive, the City emphasizes that the Prison and Probation Service must maintain high-quality education with qualified teachers, and ensure easy information transfer for students transitioning between their school and the regular school system.

The City of Stockholm will adjust pension contributions for elected officials, including politicians and others holding assignments. This means pension contributions will increase from 4.5% to 6% on income up to 7.5 income base amounts, and from 30% to 31.5% on income exceeding that. This change, effective January 1, 2025, aims to align politicians' pensions with those of municipal and regional employees, a development welcomed by Municipal Commissioner Emilia Bjuggren.

The City of Stockholm plans to construct a new artificial turf football pitch with underfloor heating and a new service building at Gubbängen sports field, to be completed in 2028. This project, including changing rooms, a café, and theory rooms, will partially be leased by Hammarby IF Football, aiming to alleviate the severe shortage of football pitches and benefit both grassroots and elite sports in southern Stockholm. However, debate exists regarding the extent to which the pitch will benefit Hammarby specifically versus other clubs.

Stockholm City Executive Board has commented on Lidingö Municipality's housing action plan, which aims for approximately 50 new homes annually over the next decade, focusing on special housing for the elderly and disabled. Stockholm criticizes this plan, arguing Lidingö should build substantially more – at least 100-244 homes per year – to meet regional needs and contribute to the Stockholm region's development.

Mikael Valier Furtenbach (KD) proposed that Stockholm introduce special architectural zones in older areas like the City and inner districts, with rules on height, volume, materials, and style to preserve existing architecture. The City Executive Board rejected the motion, stating that current regulations are sufficient to protect cultural environments and that the city should also develop and allow new styles reflecting their own era.

The City of Stockholm plans to establish Ålstensskogen and Storskogen in Bromma as nature reserves. Covering approximately 67.2 hectares, including water, the area stretches from Storskogen north of Alviksvägen to Solviksbadet in the south.

The Stockholm City Council is set to decide on Svenska Bostäder AB's plans to construct 122 new rental apartments, including 12 service apartments, in the Fotogenköket 2 block on Lilla Essingen. This 457 million SEK project, which also includes commercial spaces and common areas, is expected to be completed in 2029.

Stockholm City Council is set to approve Familjebostäder's plan to build 156 new rental apartments and three commercial premises in Farsta strand, a project named Bjurö 3, costing 712 million SEK with construction starting in 2026 and completion by 2030. While the majority supports this to alleviate the housing shortage and foster growth, the Moderates, Liberals, Christian Democrats, and Sweden Democrats oppose it, citing doubled costs, potential high rents, increased company debt, and the need for more diverse housing options in Farsta strand.

The City Executive Board has decided that the City Manager should procure new framework agreements for promotional products and apparel used by the City of Stockholm in its communication efforts. The current agreement expires on May 31, 2027, and a new one is needed to ensure the city can continue to communicate a unified image, though some parties emphasize restraint and prioritizing core city services when spending on such items.

In November 2025, Stockholm Municipal Council decided to introduce new fees for market stalls, effective from January 2026. Several market traders have appealed this decision, claiming the new fees are unreasonably high and negatively impact their businesses, especially at Kärrtorpstorg.

The City of Stockholm has responded to the Swedish Transport Administration's proposed national plan for road, rail, and waterway maintenance and expansion from 2026–2037. While welcoming the increased budget of SEK 1,200 billion and the inclusion of several Stockholm projects, the city believes it's insufficient for the region's needs, emphasizing the priority of public transport, cross-connections, and climate goals. The Moderates and Sweden Democrats regret the omission of the Eastern Link, arguing it would reduce congestion, while the Centre Party also calls for improved international access to Arlanda and stronger rail infrastructure.

Stockholmshem plans to build 140 new rental apartments and 6 LSS housing units on Björketorpsvägen in Norra Ängby/Beckomberga, with the 470 million kronor project expected to begin in late 2027 and be ready for occupancy by the end of 2029.

The City of Stockholm has received a referral regarding a final report from the Swedish National Day Foundation on how National Day celebrations can be coordinated and made more inclusive nationwide. The city welcomes the proposal for county administrative boards to take a clearer coordinating role, while municipalities, like Stockholm, continue to organize local celebrations, particularly focusing on citizenship ceremonies at the City Hall. However, the Christian Democrats in Stockholm oppose calling National Day "June 6th" instead of "National Day" and believe its solemnity should be strengthened.

The City of Stockholm has expressed its views on the Swedish Transport Administration's plan to expand the Mälarbanan railway between Duvbo and Spånga from two to four tracks, generally supporting the capacity increase for train traffic. However, the city has raised concerns regarding coordination with its own urban development projects, impact on existing infrastructure and properties, and issues like noise protection and stormwater management to minimize disturbance for residents and secure future development in areas such as Solvalla and Bromsten.

The City of Stockholm is set to comment on a government proposal regarding the implementation of the AI Act in Sweden by August 2026. While generally positive, the city believes the inquiry hasn't sufficiently addressed the consequences for municipalities, particularly concerning the oversight of high-risk AI systems in education and healthcare, and wishes to see the role of municipalities as innovators and development partners clarified.

Region Stockholm is currently investigating several possible routes for a new subway line to the future residential area of Bromma Parkstad, which will replace Bromma Airport.

The Liberals propose that the city begins planning for a Stockholm Exhibition in 2030, similar to the groundbreaking 1930 exhibition. This exhibition would focus on architecture, design, and the city's development, both historically and in the future. The city's majority has already allocated a budget to investigate the conditions for such an exhibition, and work is underway to involve the business sector and civil society.

The Stockholm City Council is set to approve a new four-year library plan, "More Relevant Than Ever," aimed at transforming libraries from simple book repositories into vibrant, community-critical meeting places accessible city-wide.

Councilman Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed merging Stockholm’s three municipal housing companies—Familjebostäder, Svenska Bostäder, and Stockholmshem—to boost efficiency, save money, and construct more homes. However, the City Executive Board, the City Management Office, and the housing companies themselves believe an investigation is unnecessary, arguing that current efficiency efforts are sufficient and a merger could create an unmanageable entity with legal hurdles. The motion was therefore rejected, with the Center Party registering dissent.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed an "athletics standard" for Stockholm, requiring the city to proactively plan sports facilities like halls and fields when developing new areas, such as Frihamnen and the Slaughterhouse area, to prevent them from being deprioritized. While sports associations support the proposal, citing an acute lack of facilities, the City Executive Board stated that the city already integrates sports into urban planning via an existing strategy for sports facilities and thus no further mandate is needed, despite sharing the ambition for sports to have adequate space.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) has proposed that the city find a long-term, comprehensive solution for Örnsbergs Kanotsällskap, including a site for a new clubhouse, as their previous one was demolished in 2018 for housing development. The city, via its development and sports committees, states they are already actively working on a solution, including co-locating the club's activities in Gröndal and Reimersholme, and thus see no need for further directives.

Hanna Wistrand (L) has proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate how to offer swimming lessons to newly arrived adults, including through collaboration with SFI (Swedish for Immigrants) and local sports clubs, aiming to increase swimming proficiency and facilitate integration into club life. While practical and legal obstacles exist, the administrations view improving swimming skills for new arrivals positively, and the government is working on a proposal where SFI teachers would inform adults where to learn to swim.

The City Executive Board has reviewed a status report for the Ulvsunda industrial area's old brewery building, currently being converted into a new sports center called Bryggeriet i Bromma. This project, set to open in September 2026 with a budget of approximately 902 million SEK, will offer spaces for various sports. While there have been concerns about the final cost potentially exceeding the budget, project management is actively working to stay within the allocated funds and manage any risks.

Stockholm City Council will decide on a new 3700 square meter dog park in Fruängen, Hägersten-Älvsjö, located near Lotta Svärds Gränd/Vantörsvägen.

The initiative aims to enhance safety and well-being in the area.

The government's commission to analyze productivity in Swedish business and the public sector has submitted two interim reports to Stockholm City for review.

This matter concerns Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB)'s monthly financial reports for November and December 2025.

The work is scheduled for 2026, prioritizing glass recycling.

Fagersjöskolan in Farsta will receive new water, sewage, and heating pipes, as well as electrical work for lighting, due to the age of the current systems. Additionally, ventilation in classrooms, the cafeteria, and the gym will be improved to accommodate more people and meet current standards. The project is estimated to cost 80.4 million SEK and will be carried out between October 2027 and October 2030, requiring the school to be evacuated for part of the construction period.

The City Audit has reviewed SISAB's maintenance of school properties and found that the company largely ensures upkeep with clear plans and processes. Historically, SISAB hasn't utilized all budgeted funds for replacement investments, but they have been working since 2023 to improve governance and fully exploit the budget, showing results in 2025.

SISAB (Stockholm School Properties AB) presented its preliminary financial statement for 2025, showing a profit of SEK 14.4 million after financial items and investments totaling SEK 1,250 million.
