The City of Stockholm will respond to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's proposal on implementing a new EU directive for cleaner air into Swedish law. This directive, effective December 2024, aims to reduce air pollution and protect health and the environment, partly through stricter limit values for pollutants. The City Management Office, Environment Department, and Traffic Department reject proposals to place liability for damages and penalty payments on municipalities for inadequate action programs, arguing that the division of responsibility between municipalities and the state must be clarified and that municipalities need more tools to act effectively.

The Swedish Transport Administration proposes discontinuing maintenance of a railway switch at Värtan East rail yard, as it's unused and costs SEK 140,000 annually. This switch previously led to an industrial track in Norra Djurgårdsstaden, an area where Stockholm plans new housing and offices. The City of Stockholm supports ceasing maintenance and decommissioning the switch, as there are no plans to resume traffic on the old industrial track.

Region Stockholm proposes building the first stage of the Southern Tram Line between Flemingsberg and Skärholmen, and the City of Stockholm is invited to comment. The City Executive Board proposes that the City respond positively to the tram line, but emphasizes the importance of extending the entire route to Älvsjö in the future, adhering to the project budget, and ensuring the interchange point in Skärholmen is attractive and efficient for travelers.

The City of Stockholm will issue a statement regarding Ellevio's application for a new underground 245 kV power line between Örby and Högdalen. This new line, replacing an existing overhead one, is crucial for securing Stockholm's electricity supply and facilitates the city's plans to build 1200 new homes, offices, and preschools along Örbyleden without disrupting future construction. The County Administrative Board has already determined that the new line will not cause significant environmental impact.

The City Audit has reviewed how the Exploitation Committee and Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB work to counter work-related crime in construction projects. The audit believes a stronger and more systematic approach to follow-ups and controls is needed, especially regarding labor law contract terms, and that controls should be adapted to project-specific risks. The City Executive Board will comment on the report, and the City Management Office shares the audit's assessment, proposing that all committees and company boards generally strengthen their efforts against welfare crime in contracted activities.

A motion from Andrea Hedin (M) proposes that the City of Stockholm LGBTQ+ certify home care services and collaborate with interest organizations to improve thement of LGBTQ+ individuals in elder care, citing reports of inadequate treatment and concerns among LGBTQ+ seniors. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to ongoing work, which includes training and a forthcoming action plan for the equal rights of HBTQI individuals.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate the possibility of constructing floating football pitches. While creative solutions for sports facility shortages are welcomed, concerns were raised regarding placement, cost, environmental impact, and practical issues like utilities. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered, meaning no specific investigation will be launched, but the idea will be considered within existing sports facility planning.

Liberal politicians proposed an inquiry into improving and simplifying conditions for Stockholm's associations, aiming to make the city the best in Sweden for them by mapping existing obstacles. The City Executive Board recommended the motion be dismissed, stating that ongoing work, including a 2026 association policy, already addresses its intent. However, the Liberals argue a broader investigation is necessary to tackle complex issues, such as hard-to-find grant information and complicated application processes, raised by several referral bodies.

Sergej Salnikov (SD) has proposed a pilot project for a citizen budget, allowing residents to decide on the use of a portion of municipal funds, to be evaluated after two years. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be responded to by noting that citizen budgeting is already an established working method in Stockholm, with the city continuously using it, including 17 citizen budgets implemented between 2023–2025.

The Moderates propose the introduction of "safety kiosks" in Stockholm, inspired by Tokyo and Frankfurt, to serve as staffed hubs for security guards and field assistants to collectively enhance local safety and citizen proximity. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, arguing that the city already implements safety measures and that mobile efforts are more effective, though a minority dissents, advocating for the kiosks.

In a motion, Liliane Åkerlund (SD) proposed investigating the amphitheater in Rålambshovsparken for year-round use for spontaneous sports like dancing and ice skating. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by noting that work is already underway along these lines, as the Kungsholmen City District Council has built a dance floor that will remain and previously flooded the amphitheater for ice skating, which is planned to continue when weather permits.

This report summarizes the matters received by the City Executive Board in late March and early April 2026.

Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) proposes that the board approves measures to enable the construction of a new sports hall at Skarpnäcks school on the property Svenska Högarna 3. This involves approximately 3000 square meters of the leasehold being separated and transferred to the exploitation committee for SEK 1,300,000.

Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) is proposed to approve the final report for the Storkyrkoskolan project. The project, which included ventilation renovations and pipe replacement, cost a total of SEK 92.9 million, exceeding the original budget of SEK 46.4 million. This increase was due to the property being in poorer condition than expected, its blue-listed status requiring special solutions, and additional works.

The Board of Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) proposes approving a major renovation and rebuild of Solbacken preschool at Norgegatan 4 in Järva. This project, estimated at SEK 17.7 million and planned for summer and autumn 2026, aims to address moisture damage, ensure a healthy indoor environment, and adapt the premises to the preschool's needs, requiring the preschool to be evacuated during the work.

Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) proposes that the board approves a maintenance project for Björngårdsskolan on Södermalm. The project, estimated at SEK 99.1 million, aims to upgrade the school's technical installations such as ventilation, water, and drainage, as well as renovate the roof and surface layers. The work, scheduled from August 2027 to April 2031 with occupancy in June/July 2031, will require the evacuation of approximately 475 students.

Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) has proposed its budget for 2027, with a strategic outlook for 2028 and 2029, and investment plans extending to 2031. The company aims for a zero-result outcome and will prioritize maintaining existing preschools and schools, taking into account declining student enrollment forecasts. Significant investments are planned for Essingeskolan, Matteusskolan, and Tallkrogens skola, among others.

The Board of Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) will consider a proposal to appoint Anna Andersson as Board Secretary. Anna Andersson, Head of the CEO's Staff, is proposed to minute board meetings until the first ordinary board meeting following the 2026 Annual General Meeting.

The board of Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) proposes to revoke an earlier decision to maintain the roofs, windows, and facades of Buildings B and D at St. Jacobi in Hässelby-Vällingby, with an estimated cost of SEK 19 million. This is because project bids significantly exceeded expectations, as initial calculations did not adequately account for the property's condition. SISAB suggests deferring this maintenance and combining it with a future phase planned for summer 2027 to achieve a more cost-effective solution.

The Skarpnäck District Council will consider updating its delegation rules, which determine which officials can make decisions in various matters. Changes include allowing caseworkers and mentors to make decisions on urgent housing and financial assistance within social services and eldercare.

The Skärholmen district administration submitted a positive referral response regarding the proposal to protect Vikingaberget and Johannesdal in Vårberg as a 10.4-hectare biotope protection area, aimed at safeguarding old coniferous and deciduous forests with very old trees.

The City Executive Board circulated proposed roadmaps for regional urban centers, including Kista-Sollentuna-Häggvik, for consultation with various city departments. Skärholmen City District Administration responded positively to Region Stockholm's development of these roadmaps, but requested clearer language regarding green-blue values like recreation and climate adaptation. They also emphasized the importance of the roadmap's flexibility to align with existing municipal collaborations in Kungens kurva-Skärholmen.

The Skärholmen District Council approved the 2025 activity report for the medically responsible nurse (MAS). The report highlighted improvements in patient safety and quality at Sätra care and nursing home, including more risk assessments for falls, malnutrition, and pressure sores. However, areas like healthcare documentation, follow-up on deviations, and controlled counting of narcotics still require development.

The Skärholmen City District Committee approved a values-based public partnership (IOP) with the association Medveten Konsumtion Sverige, running from May 2026 to April 2028. This partnership aims to boost residents' knowledge and engagement in sustainable living through activities like study circles and lectures on circular economy, reuse, and sustainable food consumption. The committee will contribute 400,000 SEK over the period and provide meeting venues.

The Skärholmen District Council approved its March 2026 monthly report, which forecasts a balanced budget despite deficits in certain areas. Economic assistance is projected to be SEK 2.3 million over budget due to more households receiving aid, influenced by the economy and high rents in new housing. Additionally, support and services for people with disabilities, including personal assistance under LSS, are expected to have a deficit of SEK 4.3 million.

The Skärholmen District Council approved an update to its delegation rules, effective upon adjustment. Key changes include prohibiting the delegation of decisions on placing children in emergency foster care to city officials, requiring them to be made by the Social Delegation or, in urgent cases, the council chair. Additionally, the duty to report unsuitable providers of personal assistance and other licensed services under SoL and LSS to the Inspectorate for Health and Social Care (IVO) was moved to a more general section, and a new central placement function was introduced within the Social Administration for securing LSS housing and agreements.

The City Executive Board referred a proposal to relevant committees to replace existing PDF maps for local public order regulations with a new digital map in the dpMap system. Additionally, an amendment to paragraph 22 was suggested, extending the requirement to pick up after dogs to the entire city, not just the inner city. Skärholmen City District Committee reviewed the new digital map, found it accurate, and supported the change to paragraph 22, believing that the same rules should apply to dog owners throughout Stockholm.

The Social Services Committee decided to propose that the City Executive Board tasks the Labour Market Committee with providing activities under the new national activity requirement for welfare recipients. This aims to centralize responsibility with Jobbtorg Stockholm, enhancing the city's labour market efforts and helping more residents achieve self-sufficiency, pending parliamentary approval of the activity requirement.

The City Executive Board referred a Moderate Party motion on increasing self-determination for home care recipients – which sought to investigate the possibility of declining specific employees without switching providers – to various bodies for consultation. The Skärholmen District Council approved the administration's statement, which acknowledged the importance of client influence but raised concerns about potential discrimination, organizational difficulties, increased workload, and reduced continuity for staff, as well as the possibility that perceived discomfort could relate to a client's illness. They stressed that any changes must be thoroughly investigated to avoid compromising quality and the work environment.

The Skärholmen District Council unanimously decided to forward the Moderate Party's letter, "Empty Desks After the Summer Break," to the administration for preparation. The letter addresses the issue of children and young people not returning to school or preschool after holidays, proposing a centralized system for faster absence reporting and inquiring about the district administration's plan to prevent forced removals of children. While the administration noted they lack automatic knowledge of school absences as schools fall under the Education Administration, social services did observe an increase in welfare reports from schools regarding absent students in autumn 2025, with one child not returning to preschool after summer 2025 and three ongoing investigations concerning non-attendance after the Christmas break.

The Centre Party proposed reopening a closed section of the Skärholmen beach path south of Sätra Varv to improve access to recreation and nature. The district council decided to forward the proposal to the administration for preparation. The administration subsequently responded that the Swedish Transport Administration plans to transfer the area to the Sports Administration in May 2026, which will then allow the beach path to be reopened.

The Skärholmen District Council addressed a letter from the Moderate Party regarding snow dumping in the Sätra nature reserve. The letter posed six questions concerning alternative snow dumping sites, pollution testing of the snow, and management costs. The administration responded that the Exploitation Department decides on snow storage in reserves, the Traffic Department uses sites at Mälarhöjdsbadet and Sätrastrandsbadet when other storage is full, and the Environment Department assesses that harmful substance levels are low and land-dumped snow typically melts by May.

The full decision text is redacted in both the agenda and minutes. Therefore, it is impossible to summarize what the matter regarding "Activities for older youth" was about or which decision was made.

The meeting approved a proposal to offer a music studio for young people to try out music. This is part of a project to promote recreational activities and prevent crime among youth.

A citizen proposed transforming an unused, fenced-in area in the Sätra industrial estate into a dog park. The citizen offered to assist with the design to make the space dog-friendly.

The Skärholmen District Council addressed a citizen proposal for a local ban on begging at ATMs due to residents' discomfort. However, the administration deemed such a ban unnecessary, citing a national inquiry that found no need for a nationwide prohibition and noted a decrease in begging-related issues. This was supported by a regional safety survey showing a reduction in perceived intrusive begging in Skärholmen from 57% in 2020 to 39% in 2025, leading the Council to approve the administration's assessment, thus rejecting the proposed ban.

The District Council received letters regarding illegal settlements and long-term camping from the Sweden Democrats, and about the renovation of Tessin Park's entrance from the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party. While Tessin Park's basketball court renovation was deemed a high priority, no start date is planned, and the administration noted that the organizer of the Hjorthagen Walpurgis celebration in 2026 declined a new venue offer after their original site was deemed unsuitable.

The Norra innerstaden district committee approved and filed the minutes from the Pensioners' Council meeting on April 13, 2026.

The council also received updates on creating an age-friendly city and recruiting summer staff for elderly care.

The Northern Inner City District Council approved its financial report for March 2026, which projected a year-end surplus of SEK 28.6 million after appropriations. While areas like council administration and financial aid showed deficits, elder care significantly contributed to the surplus, despite individual deficits within nursing homes and home care services.

The Norra innerstaden District Council addressed a Moderate Party motion proposing home care recipients gain the right to decline specific staff without stating a reason or changing providers. While the administration found the motion's aim to empower individuals positive, they concluded a formal requirement would create too many difficulties in planning and executing the service. The council approved the administration's recommendation, thus rejecting the proposal to introduce a formal right to decline staff, with the Moderate Party, Liberal Party, and Centre Party dissenting.

The Northern Inner City District Council approved the administration's statement in response to a referral from the City Executive Board. The referral concerned transitioning to digital personnel records to streamline and quality-assure the management of personnel documents, a proposal which the administration supported and which also entails scanning existing paper documents.

The Norra Innerstaden District Council approved the administration's statement in response to the "Program for Events in the City of Stockholm" referral to the City Executive Board. While agreeing with the program's aim of making Stockholm a vibrant and sustainable event city, the council emphasized the need for clearer exceptions for targeted events, more explicit requirements for organizers, and a defined division of responsibility within the city for sustainable events.

The Norra innerstaden district council decided to amend a previous decision regarding association grants for 2026. This corrects the descriptions of how funds may be used for the associations Social motion (SEK 29,600 for health-promoting activities) and Varghalsen's allotment society (SEK 102,700 for biodiversity and related projects), and also adjusts incorrect years in a distribution table to reflect the correct dates.

The City District Committee for Norra innerstaden approved a project directive, tasking the administration with investigating Spelbomskan 3 and 17 near the City Library as potential new premises for the city district administration. This is due to the current premises no longer meeting requirements following the 2023 merger of the Östermalm and Norrmalm city district committees. The investigation, costing up to SEK 8 million, will clarify how the buildings can be adapted for modern office environments while considering cultural-historical values, accessibility, and safety, potentially requiring the Swedish Institute for Children's Books to relocate.

The Norra innerstaden District Council approved the District Director's verbal and written update for the April 23, 2026 meeting. The update covered a senior week in May, home care drop-in recruitment, a public dialogue about Vegaparken, and positive results for activity boxes. It also included information on preschool places, greening Gärdesbacken preschool, the evacuation of Rio preschool due to pipe replacement, and activated crisis support following a resident-witnessed death.

The Guardianship Board approved the Guardianship Administration's recommendation, endorsing the City Executive Board's proposal for the "Action Plan for a Gender Equal Stockholm 2030." The Christian Democrats fully rejected the plan, arguing it focused excessively on ideology and bureaucracy rather than practical issues. The Moderates partially approved it but found the action plan unclear, lacking concrete measures, and prioritizing incorrectly.

Södermalm District Council's Pensioner's Council met on April 13, 2026, welcoming the new district director, Kerstin Andersson. They discussed budget proposals for upcoming years, focusing on civil society's conditions, preventive measures for seniors, and mental health. The council also strongly criticized winter snow removal deficiencies, claiming they led to isolation and increased fall risk for seniors in Södermalm.

Södermalm City District Board rejected Långholmen Padel Club's application for a permanent outdoor serving permit at Alstaviksvägen 21. The decision was justified by the club's proximity to both Långholmen Preschool and Jensen Primary School, leading the administration to advise against the permit.

The City Council was informed of three delegated decisions. Two concerned Lex Sarah reports, detailing serious deficiencies or risks of deficiencies within social services. The third decision pertained to a suspension made on March 25, 2026.

The Södermalm District Council approved an application for a permanent outdoor serving permit for Restaurant Vinvalvet at Södermalmstorg 8.

The council found no social or preventive obstacles and granted the permit in accordance with Stockholm City guidelines.

The Södermalm District Council approved Villa Valentina restaurant's application for a permanent serving permit at Slussbrogatan 10.

The Södermalm District Council approved Mint Restaurang's application for a permanent serving permit at Bjälbogatan 12. The permit allows serving indoors from 11:00 to 23:00 and outdoors from 11:00 to 22:00, Monday to Sunday, as the administration found no social or preventive grounds to deny it.

Södermalm District Council approved Restaurant Baggio's application for a serving permit at Krukmakargatan 24, allowing them to serve alcohol to the public in both the restaurant and its outdoor seating area. The restaurant can serve from 11:00 to 01:00 Monday to Sunday indoors, and from 11:00 to 22:00 Monday to Sunday for outdoor service, in line with City of Stockholm guidelines.

The Södermalm District Council reviewed a referral response from the City Executive Board regarding the digitization of personnel records within the City of Stockholm.

The Council stressed the importance of thorough quality assurance for the systems and clear procedures during the transition.

The Södermalm District Council submitted a statement in response to a motion advocating for a more enjoyable Stockholm with increased culture, freedom, and social community. While the administration supported promoting culture in public spaces and "open streets," they recommended focusing initiatives on durable surfaces and deemed current alcohol bans appropriate for maintaining safety.

The City Council received a motion from Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposing an investigation into establishing more practice areas for motorcycle driving, as the existing site at Älvsjömässan is often overcrowded. While Södermalm District Administration saw value in shared use, they noted they are not responsible for parking areas and foresaw challenges in finding sufficiently large, suitable inner-city locations, especially due to noise concerns. Therefore, the administration submitted its opinion without making its own decision.

The Södermalm District Council, responding to a referral from the City Executive Board regarding the new activity requirement for social assistance recipients, had no objections to the proposal that the Labour Market Committee be responsible for providing activities. However, the council emphasized that Södermalm's own labour market initiatives should be available city-wide to more effectively meet residents' needs. This national activity requirement, proposed to take effect on July 1, 2026, obliges municipalities to offer activities to those covered by the requirement, aiming to bring them closer to work and self-sufficiency.

The Södermalm District Council reviewed the City Executive Board's referral regarding the "Action Plan for a Gender Equal Stockholm 2030." The administration was positive about the plan, viewing it as a crucial guiding document for increasing gender equality in the city. The council submitted the administration's official statement in response to the referral, proposing, among other things, that the action plan could be shortened, that efforts to improve knowledge of gender equality analyses should be coordinated city-wide, and that an employer perspective was missing from the plan.

The Södermalm District Council addressed a proposal for common guidelines on how special housing under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service (LSS), including social psychiatric support housing, are allocated. The administration supported the proposal, and the adopted guidelines will standardize procedures, increase legal certainty, and clarify responsibilities between district administrations and the social administration. They will also guide staff and help residents choose housing within the city's choice system.

The Södermalm District Council has given positive feedback on the proposed revised guideline for child safety in Stockholm's preschools. The administration believes the new guideline will strengthen child safety efforts by making them more systematic, equitable, cohesive, and practically applicable for preschools. The Council also suggested minor adjustments, such as relocating the "Overall responsibility for child safety work" section and clarifying terminology for certain safety areas.

The Södermalm District Council reviewed revised guidelines for financial assistance in Stockholm. These updated guidelines are less comprehensive, focusing on city-specific rules and omitting information already covered by national law. The Council submitted the administration's statement, which found the new guidelines positive but emphasized the need for more caseworker support, as its response to the City Executive Board's referral.

The Södermalm District Council approved the administration's statement addressing the Moderate Party's concerns about insufficient snow removal in Södermalm, Gamla stan, and Hammarby Sjöstad. The administration answered nine questions regarding issues like the number of error reports and maintenance of prioritized pedestrian paths, noting that ten of eleven reported issues were addressed on time. While lacking a specific prioritization plan for areas with many elderly residents, efforts are underway to improve collaboration with the traffic office during heavy snowfall.

The Södermalm District Council approved the March 2026 monthly report, which projected a year-end surplus of SEK 65.0 million. While elderly care is expected to contribute SEK 43.0 million to this surplus and other operations are balanced, the increasing need for social assistance and residential care places remains a challenge.

The Södermalm District Council decided to participate in a joint procurement of construction management services with the Kungsholmen and Norra Innerstaden District Councils. This collaboration aims to renew an expiring agreement from 2027 and streamline the process. The Södermalm District Administration will lead the procurement, resulting in two separate agreements.

The Södermalm District Council approved accepting an artistic mini-skateboard ramp as a donation. Funded by the Swedish Arts Grants Committee with SEK 375,000, the ramp will be built from Swedish oak by furniture makers and an artist, expected to be completed by June 2026. The administration was tasked with finding a suitable location for the ramp, designed for beginners to enhance spontaneous sports facilities in Södermalm.

The Södermalm District Council approved renting a space at Hennings gata 23–25 (Persikan 6) for a new preschool. The 10-year lease, with an annual rent of 2.7 million SEK, was forwarded to the Municipal Executive Board's Finance and Security Committee for approval. This four-unit preschool, accommodating 72 children, is set to open in August 2026, despite not fully meeting play area guidelines due to the dense urban environment.

The Södermalm District Council approved the budget basis for 2027, including guidelines for 2028 and 2029, and forwarded it to the City Executive Board. This document outlines the council's upcoming priorities, such as increased elderly care needs and adapting preschool facilities due to fewer children, while also highlighting challenges like rising civil defense costs, the need to strengthen skills provision, and an anticipated population decline in Södermalm until 2034.

A citizen's proposal to build more spontaneous-use tennis courts on Södermalm has been rejected by the Södermalm District Council. The administration determined there were no suitable locations in parks, as existing green spaces are crucial for recreation, biodiversity, and climate benefits. They also noted that spontaneous sports areas should accommodate more people simultaneously than a tennis court allows.

The Södermalm District Council addressed a citizen proposal for mobile bike repair shops staffed by summer-jobbing youths. The administration rejected the proposal in its current form, mainly due to the need for continuous presence of skilled supervisors for quality, safety, and proper handling of hazardous waste. However, the administration was positive about developing bike services in collaboration with civil society, for instance by expanding the pop-up bike repair concept similar to the one held in Björns trädgård.

The Södermalm District Council addressed a citizen's proposal to provide municipal preschools and schools with watering cans featuring the Stockholm city logo. The administration supported the proposal for preschools and decided to distribute watering cans to them, as well as to five park playgrounds, in May as part of a sunflower project. However, the administration could not act on behalf of the schools and forwarded the proposal to the Education Administration for their consideration.

The Södermalm District Council addressed a citizen proposal to renovate Södermalmsallén at Fatburs Brunnsgata, where sunken ground poses a fall risk. The District Administration lacks the budget and expertise to fix the subsidence but has asked the Traffic Office for help with investigation and planning, including a geological survey. They aim to level the ground and review the avenue's design and vegetation when funding allows, with the Traffic Office also exploring decorative winter lighting in the trees for 2026-27.

The Södermalm District Council addressed a citizen proposal to streamline training times for older children on Södermalm's football fields. The administration rejected the idea of using spontaneous play areas for club activities, as these should remain accessible to everyone for various activities. The portion of the proposal urging football clubs to optimize training times and distribute them more fairly was forwarded to the Sports Committee, as this matter falls outside the District Council's purview.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council approved the administration's report on introducing an activity requirement for individuals receiving social assistance, forwarding it to the City Executive Board as a referral response. This requirement, effective July 1, 2026, makes full-time employment the default, necessitating stronger collaboration between city committees, with the Labor Market Committee and Jobbtorg Stockholm jointly responsible for providing activities.

The Kungsholmen District Council will respond to a referral from the City Executive Board regarding new guidelines for allocating special housing for individuals with disabilities and mental health issues.

The administration has no objections and supports the proposed guidelines.

The City Executive Board proposes that Stockholm's committees transition to digital personnel files, scanning all existing paper documents.

The Kungsholmen District Council is to review a consultation response concerning the City Executive Board's proposed Action Plan for a Gender Equal Stockholm 2030.

They also emphasize the importance of concrete measures rather than solely follow-up and analysis.

Liberalerna and Moderaterna questioned the Kungsholmen district council regarding the Kronobergsparken barbecue area, asking if there were plans for its closure. The council responded that there are no intentions of permanently closing the popular spot; it will remain open during the park and youth center's operating hours, with an option for associations to borrow it by agreement. However, the barbecue area will be temporarily closed while the new park building is constructed, with reopening planned upon completion.

The Liberal, Moderate, and Christian Democrat parties in Kungsholmen queried the district administration regarding the school performance of children in societal care, citing research indicating poorer outcomes for this group. They requested statistics on high school eligibility and information on interventions to support these children's schooling. The administration replied that they lack compiled district-level statistics for high school eligibility in this group, but have implemented and developed measures like school coordinators and early assessment of educational needs, believing these have increased focus and coordination, though measurable effects on results are not yet evaluated.

The Centre Party in Kungsholmen proposes that the district administration act to save Kronobergsbadet, which the Police Authority plans to close to the public in May 2026 due to security concerns. The party wants the administration to discuss keeping the bath open with the Police Authority and report on how the city is working to find alternative solutions for swimming schools, associations, and the general public. The administration responds that they have engaged in dialogue with the Police Authority, who are firm on the closure, and that the Sports Administration is working to find new premises on or near Kungsholmen, and that swimming schools can be relocated to other nearby baths.

The Kungsholmen District Council will consider a proposal to participate in a joint procurement of construction management services for park investment projects, affecting Kungsholmen, Norra Innerstaden, and Södermalm.

The proposal will then be submitted to the City Executive Board for further preparation.

The Kungsholmen District Council is reviewing a citizen proposal to create an ice rink on the basketball court in Kronobergsparken. The administration recommends rejecting the proposal due to a lack of water access at the site, making it unsuitable for a natural ice rink. They also believe the two existing rinks in Rålambshovsparken and Spårvägsparken are sufficient, as ice maintenance is both resource and cost-intensive.

The Moderates, Christian Democrats, Liberals, and Centre Party have questioned the Hässelby-Vällingby district administration regarding the new secrecy legislation effective December 2025. They seek clarity on its interpretation and application to improve information sharing between social services, schools, and police, and if new guidelines are needed. The administration responded that new work methods are not fully implemented, but the city is continuously updating guidelines, planning more training, and will revise the secrecy handbook in 2026.

The Sweden Democrats highlighted serious, recurring deficiencies in LSS case management in Hässelby-Vällingby, including criticism from the Ombudsman.

The Sweden Democrats questioned the Hässelby-Vällingby district administration about safety within home care services, following reports of sexual offenses and other crimes. The administration responded that all suspected crimes are reported to the police, and they work proactively with competence development and routines.

Seniors and relatives can report misconduct directly to providers, the administration, or via the city's e-service.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council is to approve an official statement responding to an inquiry from the Sweden Democrats. The Sweden Democrats questioned how customer receivables, which were written down by over one million kronor in the 2025 financial statements, are allowed to grow over time and which rules govern this. The administration responded that they follow city guidelines and local procedures, meaning unpaid receivables are written down after collection efforts or at the latest one year after their due date, with social considerations possible in exceptional cases, such as for training and trial apartments.

The Swedish government has proposed a new national activity requirement for those receiving social assistance, effective July 1, 2026, meaning municipalities must offer activities to help residents move closer to work or study.

All existing paper files will be scanned, a process estimated to take up to five years and cost 70 million SEK.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will review a referral response concerning new guidelines for allocating special housing for individuals with disabilities and mental health issues in Stockholm.

They also recommend clarifying the handling of unfulfilled decisions and ensuring cost frameworks are considered for external placements.

A citizen proposal suggested reopening the former Skolörten service house in Hässelby Villastad. However, the property requires extensive and uneconomical renovations. Instead, the site is planned for a new care home, senior housing, home care facilities, day activities, and a community space, with a preliminary completion in 2034.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will address two citizen proposals requesting a new dog park in Smedshagen, Hässelby. The administration suggests the council include this request in ongoing efforts to supplement and more evenly distribute dog parks throughout the district, though a specific proposed location near Rödklövern preschool is deemed unsuitable due to its proximity to homes/the preschool and its secluded nature.

A citizen proposed improving skateboarding opportunities in Hässelby-Vällingby by creating "skate plazas" and simple urban additions instead of costly ramp parks.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council proposes to distribute a total of SEK 311,500 in association grants for environmental and climate work in 2026. Five associations will receive funding: Cykelfrämjandet, Hässelby Scoutkår, Riddersviks 4H, Svensk Eritreanska Förening i Västerort, and Unga Örnar. The funds are intended for initiatives such as promoting cycling, installing an air-source heat pump, developing circular economy activities, increasing recycling knowledge, and organizing environmental and climate camps for children and youth.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will review the March 2026 report, which the administration proposes be approved.

The Farsta City District Administration has submitted its statement regarding a revised guideline for child safety in Stockholm City's municipal preschools. The guideline aims to strengthen and standardize child safety work in preschools, and Farsta suggests clarifications on how safety areas link to preschool routines. They also propose grouping evacuation, invacuation, and lockout into their own safety area for clarity.

The Farsta City District Committee is to respond to the City Executive Board regarding new, clearer guidelines for financial assistance. These updated guidelines, which include the Stockholm standard for higher child benefits and clearer rules for SL travel cards and home insurance, aim to be more tailored to Stockholm and strengthen child and gender equality perspectives.

The guidelines detail procedures for handling expressions of interest, prioritizing urgent needs, and the process for offering and responding to housing placements.

The Farsta District Council is to respond to a referral from the City Executive Board regarding a new national activity requirement for individuals receiving social assistance.

The administration believes the current democratic conditions are effective and sees no need for revision.

The Farsta District Council will address a letter from theigesdemokraterna (SD) regarding association grants to Konsthall C. SD questions these grants due to Konsthall C's support for the BDS campaign (boycott, divestment, and sanctions against Israel), arguing this violates the city's democratic conditions. The administration proposes the council approve their response, which asserts that Konsthall C does not breach the democratic conditions, as they have confirmed everyone is welcome regardless of cultural identity, belief, or nationality. Konsthall C receives association grants for initiatives including Hökarängens dag and a values-based public partnership (IOP) for art in preschools.

A citizen proposal was submitted to the Farsta District Council regarding Nazi propaganda and xenophobic messages, specifically graffiti and stickers, found in Farsta and at Martinskolan in Hökarängen.

A citizen proposed that the Farsta District Council develop a plan to restore trees in Sköndal, as many have been lost to construction.

The Council will respond with the administration's statement.

These officers will ensure the council correctly handles personal data under GDPR and the Criminal Data Act, especially concerning work with the Social Services Act (SoL), the Act on Care of Young Persons (LVU), and the Act on Care of Abusers (LVM).

The Social Services Department is generally positive but suggests the plan more clearly link gender equality to men's violence against women, consistently highlight the situation for people with disabilities, and include more concrete outcome targets.

The City of Stockholm Archives plans a new procurement for digitization services, including scanning, indexing, and registration, for the city's administrations and companies, as the current agreement expires in September 2026. The goal is a four-year framework agreement, valued at SEK 8 million, to improve access to archive information for both the public and internal city operations.

The Sports Department will announce that officials are traveling to Helsinki. This is a notification of a delegation decision already made within the administration.

The Strategic Council received results from Project "Helge," which clarifies the Service Department's role in the city's HR and economics competence provision, proposing ten ideas to make the department a nursery for economists and HR staff, with services offered to administrations and companies from 2027. The council also discussed a status report from the Service Department, noting procurement challenges, and prepared changes and new prices for certain services for 2026.

The Council was informed of the Service Department's financial forecast as of March 31, 2026. The forecast indicated an expected budget deviation of -5.8 million SEK, primarily driven by procurement costs. No decisions were made; the information was simply noted.

The management team discussed the 2027-2029 budget and how to tackle welfare fraud, with the Service Department contributing specialized expertise. They were also informed about staff turnover among procurement officers and the opening of a reuse center in May. The Service Department board meeting was canceled due to a lack of decision items.

The City Executive Board referred a proposal to transition to digital personnel files for all administrations. This entails scanning all paper documents into the city's eDok system for digital storage, with managers accessing them via LISA self-service. The Service Administration was positive but requested clarification on why LISA self-service is used instead of direct eDok management, and clear method support for administering the digital files.

The City Executive Board referred a program for events in Stockholm to the Service Board for comment. The Service Board viewed the program positively and proposed that Contact Center Stockholm be tasked with handling event-related inquiries, provided funding was secured through the service administration's price list. The board also suggested further definitions of concepts and clarifications of responsibilities and roles within the program.

The Service Department commented on the City Executive Board's referral of the action plan for a gender-equal Stockholm 2030, finding it positive for clarifying the city's gender equality work and strengthening knowledge about the living conditions of women and men. However, the department proposed supplementing the plan with more methodological support and guidance for gender equality analyses, a clearer focus on implementation support, and linking its introduction to budget activities in future budgets.

The Service Board set new prices for Service Administration services for 2026, including the mandatory registration of agreements in LOIS for city administrations. Prices were also established for the new reuse center in Frihamnen and for data protection officers and specialists. These prices are based on the self-cost principle, with administrations having ten or fewer LOIS agreements exempt from registration fees.

The Service Committee approved the administration's proposed budget for 2027, with a focus for 2028-2029, including all associated appendices. This proposal, which covered strategic direction, financial analysis, and a premises plan, was then submitted to the City Executive Board for further consideration.

The Committee for the Elderly was informed of several delegated decisions, mainly related to "Project NOW," which aims to introduce a new service delivery system for social services, elder care, and municipal healthcare. These decisions concerned resource allocation, call-offs, and the awarding of consulting services in digitalization, IT, and information security for this project. Additionally, the agreement with home care provider Danimo hemtjänst AB was terminated, and a further delegation regarding the procurement of individual coaching for 2027 was decided.

The Committee for the Elderly reviewed the administration's March 2026 monthly report, which projected a break-even financial result for the committee, unchanged from February. While a minor deficit of SEK 0.5 million was noted for personnel costs due to budget cuts, this was offset by vacant positions. The alarm and lock section of the security emergency service also saw a slight deficit due to increased demand from a growing elderly population, but this was also internally covered.

The Elder Care Administration of Stockholm City responded positively to the Swedish Competition Authority's referral regarding new "gatekeeper functions" in the Freedom of Choice Act (LOV). The administration supported proposals aimed at hindering criminal and disreputable actors within welfare services, including introducing application windows instead of continuous advertising for new providers to streamline the process. They also suggested extending the review period for providers' past contracts from three to five years to ensure quality elder care, and enabling anonymous reporting of misconduct by users and employees.

The Committee for the Elderly has positively responded to the City Executive Board's referral regarding the digitization of personnel files within the city. They recommend piloting the system in smaller administrations first to test and adjust workflows before implementing it in larger ones. This is expected to improve the handling of personnel documents for managers and employees, leading to more secure and consistent processes.

The Committee for the Elderly approved the Elder Administration's consultation response to the proposed "Program for Events Stockholm City 2026." The administration supported the program, which aims to strengthen Stockholm's position as an event city and replace an older document. They emphasized the importance of local and small-scale events for dialogue with citizens of all ages and suggested that a gender equality analysis, including age aspects, should be included to monitor how events reach different target groups.

The Committee for the Elderly approved the Elderly Administration's response to the City Executive Board's referral regarding the action plan for a gender-equal Stockholm 2030. The Administration views the plan positively, as it aims for Stockholmers to have equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender. They emphasized the importance of including an elder perspective in gender equality efforts, as older individuals, especially women, can be more vulnerable to violence and economic hardship.

The Committee for the Elderly approved the Elder Care Administration's response to a motion from Andréa Hedin and Anette Hellström (M). The motion proposed investigating how home care recipients could refuse individual staff without having to change their entire home care provider. The administration deemed such an investigation unnecessary, as existing agreements already allow for changing a designated primary contact person if the elder is not satisfied, and providers already strive to accommodate wishes as far as possible.

The Committee for the Elderly approved the Elder Care Administration's response to Liliane Åkerlund (SD) regarding the establishment of geriatric outpatient clinics at health centers. The Administration clarified that responsibility for such operations falls under Region Stockholm, not the municipality, according to the Health and Medical Services Act. However, the Administration emphasized the importance of continued collaboration between the municipality and the region, including co-locating professionals at health centers, to achieve more integrated care for the elderly.

The Committee for the Elderly decided to extend the agreement with Vardaga Silverhemmen AB for the operation of Solbacken nursing home until January 31, 2030, provided an agreement can be reached with the company. This decision was based on a recommendation from the Kungsholmen District Council and an assessment that the operations are functioning well. The administration was tasked with formalizing the agreement.

The Committee for the Elderly decided not to extend the agreement with Vardaga Silverhemmen AB for the operation of Linnégården care home. This means the facility, located in Norra innerstaden, will transition to municipal operation when the current contract expires on January 31, 2027. The decision followed a recommendation from the Norra innerstaden City District Committee, which desired the activity to be run by the municipality.

The Elder Care Committee decided to implement mandatory background checks for staff in home care and nursing homes, including both private providers within the choice system and municipal operations. This means employers must now request extracts from criminal and suspicion registers when recruiting staff who work in seniors' homes, to enhance security and safety for care recipients.

The Committee for the Elderly decided to task the Elder Care Administration with annually prioritizing the allocation of the state grant "Elder Care Boost." This means the administration should direct funds to areas with the greatest need for skills development, such as increasing the number of assistant nurses, improving Swedish language proficiency according to new legal requirements, and promoting training in minority and sign languages. The decision also aims to reduce the risk of funds going to untrustworthy actors.

The Committee for the Elderly decided to delegate to the Director of Administration the distribution of SEK 42.3 million in state grants for the development of good and close care in 2026. These funds are designated for municipal health and medical care, including special housing and day activities for the elderly, as well as housing and daily activities for people with disabilities. The grant will be allocated among various departments, such as the Department for the Elderly and the Department of Social Services, and to the district administrations.

The Committee for the Elderly approved the Elder Care Administration’s proposal to distribute 5,866,612 SEK in government grants for outreach work and health talks in 2026, aiming to reduce involuntary loneliness among those 65 and older. Of this, 225,000 SEK will fund city-wide initiatives, with the remainder allocated to the eleven district administrations based on a fixed sum plus the number of seniors in each area. Starting March 2026, these health talks will become a service not requiring individual needs assessment under the Social Services Act.

The Committee for the Elderly has adopted and forwarded a budget proposal for 2027, with a focus on 2028 and 2029, to the City Executive Board. This proposal outlines priorities, challenges, and suggested measures within eldercare, with a projected budget increase of SEK 16.1 million for 2027 compared to 2026. Key investments include digitalization, managing security alarms, strengthening scheduling support, and enhancing follow-up and analysis capabilities.

The Preschool Committee will review its financial report for March. The committee forecasts a surplus of 2 million SEK, primarily because the costs for additional support for children with special needs in individual preschools are lower than budgeted, due to fewer children and preschools requiring it.

The Preschool Committee will review a document outlining the budget for 2027, with a focus on 2028 and 2029. This report from the administration analyzes future developments and their consequences for the City of Stockholm, particularly addressing an expected decrease in preschool-aged children. This crucial document will inform the upcoming budget process and highlights strategic development areas and future challenges for preschools.

The City Executive Board has circulated a proposal for Stockholm to transition to digital personnel records, aiming to improve the quality, security, and efficiency of handling employee documents. The Preschool Administration supports this, believing it will enhance management, information security, and archiving, and suggests their official statement be submitted to the City Executive Board as a response.

The Preschool Committee is to comment on a proposed new program for events in the City of Stockholm, which aims to make Stockholm a leading event city by hosting inclusive and accessible events for all ages. The Preschool Administration supports the program but suggests including a clearer analysis of events' consequences for children, as events are crucial for children's right to participation, culture, and leisure.

The Preschool Committee is to comment on the City Executive Board's proposed "Action Plan for a Gender Equal Stockholm 2030." This plan, which applies to all committees and company boards, aims to ensure equal rights and opportunities for women, men, and non-binary individuals in Stockholm. The administration views the plan positively, seeing it as a vital step towards becoming a gender-equal city where no one is discriminated against based on sex, with the committee specifically responsible for ensuring schools and preschools provide equal opportunities and a safe environment for all children regardless of gender.

The City Executive Board has referred the inquiry "Principals in focus – conditions for pedagogical leadership" (SOU 2026:4) to the Preschool Committee for a statement. The inquiry proposes strengthening principals' pedagogical leadership by defining it in the School Act, reducing their administrative burden, and ensuring their areas of responsibility are not too extensive. The Preschool Administration is largely positive but notes that the proposals could impact how district administrations organize preschools, particularly concerning the ability to delegate personnel responsibility and the scope of principals' duties.

Stockholm's Preschool Committee will comment on a government proposal (SOU 2025:123) to tighten conditions for independent preschools and schools. The administration largely agrees with the proposals, which aim to ensure private providers follow regulations and deliver quality education, though they note some changes could increase municipal oversight work. They are critical of certain details, such as the idea that minor deficiencies by large providers might be overlooked, and that authorities should inform about revoked approvals in cases of acquisition bans.

The Moderates questioned the Social Welfare Administration on their controls to prevent convicted criminals from working in childcare activities funded by the Social Welfare Committee. The Administration responded that they already require organizations to detail their methods for verifying staff and volunteer competence, experience, and procedures for obtaining criminal record extracts, proposing the Committee approve this as their answer.

The Social Welfare Committee will address a letter from the Liberals, Moderates, and Centre Party regarding the interpretation and application of new secrecy legislation, effective December 1, 2025, within Stockholm's social services. The parties are concerned that information sharing between social services, schools, and police remains too restrictive, despite the law aiming to facilitate cooperation to prevent youth crime. The Social Welfare Administration believes the law improves information sharing but emphasizes the need for ongoing support and knowledge to ensure a secure and legally sound application.

The Stockholm Social Welfare Committee is set to approve an updated delegation framework, effective April 27, 2026. This will provide clearer guidelines for social welfare employees on decisions they can make on the committee's behalf, covering areas like confidentiality, data security (GDPR and Cybersecurity Act), and placements for children and adults with special needs, aiming to streamline and clarify social services' decision-making processes.

Effective July 1, 2026, a new law requires every municipality to have a Medical Officer for Rehabilitation (MAR). The Social Services Department proposes appointing Malin Falk Langton as MAR for the Social Welfare Committee's area of responsibility, ensuring medical expertise and patient safety within the city's rehabilitation services.

The Social Welfare Committee will review the 2027 budget proposal, looking ahead to 2028 and 2029. This involves analyzing the future development of social services, with a focus on the new Social Services Act, crime prevention, welfare fraud, accessibility for people with disabilities, and digitalization. The Committee plans to approve the proposal and forward it to the City Executive Board for further processing.

The Social Welfare Committee is to provide feedback on a Municipal Executive Board proposal for Stockholm City to transition from paper to digital personnel records. This move aims to streamline, secure, and coordinate the management of employee documents for the city's approximately 88,000 staff. The Social Welfare Administration supports the change and suggests the committee approve sending their official statement as a response to the referral.

The City of Stockholm is set to replace its current event program with an updated document, aiming to strengthen its role as an event city. This new program will focus on creating value, promoting sustainable development, and improving the quality of life for Stockholmers. The Social Administration proposes that the Social Welfare Committee approves this proposal and adopts the program.

Two politicians from the Liberal and Moderate parties have submitted a letter to the Culture Committee concerning the City of Stockholm's democracy criteria for cultural activities. They question the application and follow-up of these criteria, citing examples like Russian bands and the BDS boycott, and wonder if adjustments are needed to ensure inclusivity. The Culture Administration responds that current conditions and routines are effective and proportionate, and that they regularly follow up with organizations, having reclaimed approximately SEK 3 million annually from 2022-2026 when conditions were not met.

A motion proposes that the City of Stockholm adopt a model to protect cultural and entertainment activities from noise complaints and disturbances by new residents. The proposals include an "agent of change" principle, making the developer of new housing responsible for noise protection, and requiring new residents to waive their right to complain. The Culture Administration notes that waiving the right to complain about noise is not possible under current law, meaning the proposal would require legislative changes.

Liberal politicians propose using the empty statue plinth at Slussen, formerly occupied by Karl XIV Johan, for temporary art installations, similar to London's "Fourth Plinth." The Culture Administration supports enhancing art at Slussen but advises against using this plinth for more temporary art, as two other nearby locations are already planned for such works. Instead, the administration suggests the plinth could house a permanent artwork, provided dedicated funds are allocated.

The City Executive Board asked the Culture Committee for its opinion on a proposal to digitize personnel records using eDok and LISA self-service. The Culture Administration supports digitization but believes eDok and LISA are not the best systems, instead suggesting existing, more suitable market alternatives. They also request clarification of personal data responsibility and the implementation of a common archiving system for completed personnel files to reduce duplicates and streamline management.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve a new event program, replacing the 2015 version. This new program will more clearly guide the city's committees and companies on event work, focusing on strengthening Stockholm as an event city, creating value for residents, and contributing to sustainable development. The Culture Administration supports this, emphasizing culture's role in positioning the city through events.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve an action plan for a gender-equal Stockholm by 2030, aiming to strengthen the city's work for equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender. This updated plan replaces an older version and focuses on areas like knowledge, welfare, service, participation, and influence. The Culture Administration and the City Archives support the plan, emphasizing the importance of highlighting women and underrepresented groups in public programs and school materials, as well as promoting girls' participation in currently underrepresented leisure activities.

The Culture Committee will consider a proposal to grant SEK 500,000 to the Finnish Cultural Institute in Sweden Foundation (Finlandsinstitutet) for its library activities.

Each scholarship recipient will be awarded 40,000 kronor.

The Culture Committee is set to review proposals for eight individuals who will receive the City of Stockholm's Adult Education Scholarship for 2026. This scholarship, totaling 10,000 SEK per recipient, is awarded to those who have made significant contributions to adult education in Stockholm during the past year, with study associations nominating candidates to the Culture Administration.

The City Planning and Cultural Administrations propose new guidelines for managing Stockholm's particularly valuable buildings, public spaces, and built environments. This is due to stricter requirements introduced by amendments to the Planning and Building Act (PBL) effective December 1, 2025, even as general permit requirements decrease. These guidelines will serve as a temporary solution until Stockholm's new comprehensive plan is adopted and the city's cultural-historical classification map is complete, aiming to improve predictability for property owners and the city alike.

The Culture Committee is set to approve the City Archives' 2027 budget proposal and 2028-2029 plan, which includes strategic priorities such as improving digital accessibility, modernizing search interfaces, developing physical locations, and leveraging AI for information management.

The Culture Administration has prepared a basis for the 2027 budget and planning for 2028-2029. They highlight challenges such as deteriorating economic conditions for cultural life, unequal access to culture for residents, and new demands from digitalization.

The City Executive Board is recommended to approve the basis for the City of Stockholm's 2027 budget, along with planning for 2028 and 2029.

Several parties, including the Liberals, Sweden Democrats, Centre Party, and Christian Democrats, have submitted reservations with their own proposals and opinions, concerning issues like crime prevention, choice within social services, and construction rates.

The Moderate Party has motioned to stop street racing, disturbances, and drug dealing on Strandvägen, proposing increased police presence, municipal security guards, speed bumps, speed cameras, and sound sensors. They also suggest investigating nightly road closures if other measures fail. The City of Stockholm responded that it has already implemented speed bumps and reprogrammed traffic lights, with plans to reintroduce temporary speed bumps for the summer and continue dialogue with the police.

Liberal Party members proposed that Stockholm implement more summer pedestrian streets and squares to vitalize the city and boost local businesses, while ensuring public transport accessibility and citizen dialogue. The city responded that it is already continuously expanding summer pedestrian zones (9 new locations by summer 2026, totaling 64), with the Traffic Administration ensuring public transport flow by avoiding bus routes and engaging residents and businesses through information and open houses. Several committees and organizations support summer pedestrian zones but emphasize the importance of dialogue and consideration for public transport and emergency services.

Two Center Party politicians proposed a real-time, interactive map for Stockholm's snow removal efforts, including sandboxes, accessible via an API, to help residents plan travel.

Leif Söderström (SD) proposed widening Klarastrandsleden to three lanes with a reversible middle lane and adding a separate bike path, aiming to reduce queues and improve accessibility. However, the proposal was rejected because the City Executive Board and several committees argued that widening wouldn't solve traffic problems due to bottlenecks elsewhere, contradicting the city's goal to reduce car traffic and prioritize walking, cycling, and public transport, all while incurring very high costs.

Liberals propose transforming Odenplan into a more inviting "Piazza Odenplan" with more greenery, commerce, and activities, suggesting Upplandsgatan between Odenplan and Gustav Vasa Church be closed to traffic to connect the areas. The City Executive Office believes a major square transformation should wait until the Roslagsbanan extension to City is complete around 2040, but the Traffic Office plans to add more greenery as early as summer 2026.

Moderate politician Hanna Werner proposed renovating the vacant and dilapidated Vanadis Hotel for new uses, preferably for associations. The city administration responded that similar work is already underway, with plans to refurbish the old hotel premises into sports facilities for changing rooms, table tennis, and martial arts, for example. The Moderates in various committees have reserved their position, advocating for broader planning that includes external actors like gyms and cafes, while also considering cultural heritage, accessibility, and energy efficiency.

The City of Stockholm is planning an extensive renovation and reconstruction of the culturally significant property Pelarbacken Större 4 on Götgatan, Södermalm. The building, which houses Södergården, Söderbokhandeln, and two other shops, is in poor condition and requires upgrades to meet modern fire safety and accessibility standards. The renovation is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2028, after which the Culture Committee will become the primary tenant for Södergården's spaces, subletting them to the association.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed that the Culture Committee investigate illuminating the City Hall with light projections, similar to Nobel Week Lights, throughout the winter (November-March) to boost tourism and attractiveness during darker months. This proposal was rejected by several bodies due to City Hall's significant cultural value, the high cost of a permanent installation, and the desire to maintain the exclusivity of Nobel Week Lights.

Center Party politicians Jonas Naddebo and Claes Nyberg have proposed building a new junior high school in northern Bromma, arguing that the long commute negatively impacts students. They suggest options like upgrading Bällstalundsskolan, expanding Mariehällsskolan, or considering costs for a school in Södra Solvallastaden. However, the city administration and Councillor Emilia Bjuggren believe current junior high capacity in northern Bromma is sufficient, citing an expected drastic decrease in student numbers across Bromma. They contend a new school would result in half-empty premises, diverting funds from education, and emphasize that existing schools like Adolfsbergsskolan can be flexibly adapted for future needs.

The Centre Party has proposed that Stockholm investigate creating a language school for children with severe language disorders from preschool class to third grade, aiming to provide a better start in elementary school and continuous language development support, similar to existing language preschools. While the City Executive Board acknowledges the importance of early intervention, it believes a separate school is unnecessary given current support available in schools, such as a competence hub at Eriksdalsskolan and collaboration with the National Agency for Special Needs Education and Schools. However, organizations like Attention Stockholm and the Swedish Association of Speech-Language Pathologists support the language school proposal.

Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) suggested the city investigate using school music rooms as rehearsal spaces after hours due to a shortage of such facilities. The City Executive Board deemed this unnecessary, as work is already underway to make more school premises, including music rooms, available to associations and cultural life after school, which includes clarifying rules for responsibility, equipment, and costs.

Councillors Claes Nyberg and Kristin Jacobsson (C) proposed implementing mental health screening in Stockholm's compulsory schools, including a mandatory meeting with a school counsellor in seventh grade, to identify and support students struggling with the rise in youth mental ill-health. The City Executive Board rejected the motion, stating that the city's existing student health services are already preventative and health-promoting, with health visits in first, fourth, and eighth grades, and students able to contact student health services as needed.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed a strategy for Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS), where private property owners could establish and manage public areas like squares and green spaces. However, the City Executive Board believes new public spaces should primarily be city-owned and managed, and that collaboration with private actors is a better approach, as current legislation limits the full implementation of Naddebo's proposal.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that the City of Stockholm should invest more in green roofs for new constructions and existing municipal properties, as well as facilitate their implementation for private property owners, citing benefits for stormwater management, temperature reduction, and biodiversity. However, the City Executive Board, along with several committees and offices, while acknowledging the benefits of green roofs, does not wish to make them a standard solution. They argue that solutions should be chosen based on what best suits each specific location and building, and that tools like the Green Space Factor already promote green areas.

Liberal Party members Jan Jönsson, Björn Ljung, and Elin Hjelmestam proposed that Stockholm develop a strategy for sustainable construction, focusing on wood and other climate-smart materials, to address emissions and prioritize such projects in land allocations. However, the City Executive Board, led by Governing Mayor Jan Valeskog, recommends rejecting the motion. They argue that the city's existing Climate Action Plan 2030 and Environmental Program 2030 already cover these objectives, and an additional strategy could detract from implementing current initiatives.

Councillor Lovisa Hedin (Christian Democrats) proposed that Stockholm develop a strategy for villa and terraced housing, aiming to identify suitable areas for smaller homes and to enable more small-scale housing during densification to preserve the character of villa areas. However, the City Executive Board stated that existing plans and ongoing work on a new comprehensive plan already address this need, rendering a separate strategy unnecessary, as Stockholm's limited land must be efficiently utilized to build numerous homes for everyone.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) proposed that Stockholm create an action plan for a "Neighborhood Boost" in all vulnerable areas, not just Järva, with concrete goals to improve safety and living conditions, arguing that violence has spread and current efforts lack unified governance. The city responded that it is already working in four focus areas and that its budget guides the work to reduce segregation, deeming an additional action plan unnecessary as existing structures are sufficient and work to strengthen social services and crime prevention is ongoing.

The City of Stockholm presented its 2025 annual report, detailing financial results and goal fulfillment. Despite reduced government grants, the city recorded a surplus, decreasing the need for investment loans. Decisions included approving the report, adjusting some committee budgets, and increasing allocations for skills development by SEK 100 million and social investments by SEK 150 million.

Councillor Jan Jönsson (L) proposed making it easier for political youth organizations to visit Stockholm schools, aiming to boost youth political engagement and democratic development through clear guidelines, support materials, and encouragement for schools to invite these groups while ensuring safety. However, the City Executive Board stated that principals already have this authority and support materials exist, while the opposition (M and L) argued the issue isn't legal but a lack of administrative support for schools.

Councilor Andréa Hedin (M) proposed that students in early and middle primary school should not receive personal digital devices to take home, advocating for teaching and homework primarily with books and pens, and for the city to develop guidelines for introducing digital tools. The City Executive Board, along with the City Management Office and the Education Committee, rejected the motion, arguing that a ban could disadvantage students without home technology and those with disabilities requiring digital aids, and that pedagogically and age-appropriately used digital tools are vital for learning and an equitable school.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed Stockholm investigate introducing advanced humanities classes (like philosophy, history, languages) in city schools, aiming to offer the same depth for these subjects as currently exists in math and science. However, the City Executive Board and Education Committee believe a separate investigation is unnecessary, suggesting the matter can be addressed within ongoing curriculum development, citing high eligibility requirements for advanced classes and low application rates for current humanities programs.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed Stockholm implement a data system to identify students at risk of being abducted, which would alert if a student was withdrawn from one school without enrolling in another and include a block to prevent such withdrawals. The City Executive Board majority rejected the proposal, stating the city already possesses routines and action plans to detect and respond to suspected abductions, and that a national system is needed and being investigated at the state level.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed a new action plan for Stockholm City to support "grey zone children" – students with cognitive difficulties who struggle in school but don't qualify for adapted education. While the Liberal Party argues these students receive insufficient support in high school, Stockholm City and the Education Committee believe their existing structured support for students with special needs, including special education and transition procedures, is adequate, and therefore a new action plan is unnecessary. Jönsson, however, contends that current measures do not sufficiently address the specific needs of this group.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that the municipality amends its agreement with Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) so that SISAB covers the costs for school work environment and safety improvements, such as new access systems, improved ventilation, and soundproofing, instead of the schools themselves. The Municipal Board majority is positive towards SISAB assuming responsibility for access system costs, but opposes transferring all financial responsibility for school work environment and safety, fearing this could increase school rents and reduce their autonomy.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate how to limit students' ability to switch high schools during the school year, as frequent changes create disorder and disrupt the learning environment. The City responded that implementing such restrictions would be very difficult without legal support, especially as it would require agreement from 26 municipalities and over 100 independent schools in the region. Instead, the City Executive Board believes the question of a legal amendment should be directed to the government.

The City of Stockholm proposes that the Municipal Council approve a revised agreement for the Stockholm County Admissions Office's services. This updated agreement aligns with current work processes and clarifies the division of responsibilities between Storsthlm and the municipalities. While the Indra system will transfer to Inera AB on July 1, 2026, Storsthlm will continue to manage the administration of upper secondary school admissions and handle financial transactions for the municipalities.

A motion by Andréa Hedin (M) suggested Stockholm introduce SAO jobs (study-motivating work-life orientation) for junior high students, combining school with paid work. The motion aimed to reduce summer jobs by 1,000 by 2026, replacing them with an equal number of SAO jobs. The City Executive Board rejected the proposal to cut summer jobs, arguing they target different groups than SAO jobs, but the city still plans to pilot SAO jobs in selected focus areas during 2026.

Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed developing the Högdalstopparna into an attractive area for outdoor life and recreation, and investigating public transport options. The City Executive Board's response is that much of this work is already underway, with detailed plans being developed to secure the area for nature and recreation and enable investments; however, public transport falls primarily under Region Stockholm's purview.

Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) wants the city to resume planning to transform Södertäljevägen into a green urban street connecting Södermalm with Aspudden and Midsommarkransen. He proposes decking over Södertäljevägen, Essingeleden, and the bus depot to enable up to 7,700 new homes and a new sports hall. The City Executive Board and committees believe the plan is currently paused due to economic difficulties, and the more extensive proposals, such as decking over, are too expensive and difficult to implement at present.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed a city-wide information campaign about stroke on Stockholm's billboards to educate residents on symptom recognition and quick action. The City Management Office responded that informing about healthcare is Region Stockholm's responsibility, and the city should not conduct such campaigns independently. However, the city could assist Region Stockholm in disseminating information through its own channels, like citizen service offices and libraries, if requested.

The Cemeteries Committee reported on their first-quarter 2026 financial status. The operating budget projected a surplus of 1.1 million SEK, mainly due to insurance payouts for a stolen copper roof, while investments showed an 8 million SEK surplus primarily because construction of a new chimney at the New Crematorium was delayed until next year due to permit uncertainties.

The Cemeteries Committee presented its budget proposal for 2027, with an outlook also for 2028 and 2029. Responsible for burial services in Stockholm, including the management of 12 cemeteries, ceremony venues, and crematoria, the Committee anticipates an increase in deaths due to an aging population. Therefore, the plan period will focus on developing burial services and enhancing crisis preparedness.

The City Executive Board referred the "Action Plan for a Gender-Equal Stockholm 2030" to the Cemeteries Committee for an opinion. This plan, which extends until 2030, aims to strengthen the city's gender equality efforts so that all Stockholmers have equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender. The Cemeteries Committee is to submit its response by April 24, 2026.

The City Executive Board has circulated a proposal for a new program for events in Stockholm to the Cemeteries Committee for consultation. This new program, which replaces the 2015 governing document, aims to strengthen the city's position as an event hub and provide guidelines for committees and companies on event-related work. The focus is on creating value, promoting sustainable development, and improving the quality of life for Stockholmers.

The Cemeteries Committee received a status report on the restoration of the Woodland Crematorium. The report detailed the project's progress according to schedule, an updated budget, and identified risks.

The department head updated the committee on several changes and events. Jeanette Ekberg will become the new Head of Economy and Administration on May 19th, as Göran Höglund retires. Furthermore, the maintenance season has begun at the city's cemeteries, doubling the department's staff. Skogskyrkogården Day will be held on May 30th, and a salamander spotting event will take place at Spegeldammen at Skogskyrkogården on May 22nd.

The Board of Kulturhuset Stadsteatern AB is set to consider a proposal to update the authorization for approving payments such as invoices and salaries. This routine is crucial for ensuring internal control and efficiency in the company's financial management. The proposal outlines new authorization rights based on the current staff and organizational structure.

The board of Kulturhuset Stadsteatern AB is proposed to adopt new city-wide governance documents. These include a new chemicals plan for 2025-2031, aiming for a toxic-free Stockholm by phasing out hazardous substances like PFAS, bisphenols, and phthalates, and a business policy with an establishment strategy. Additionally, new guidelines for mobility and parking in new developments are suggested, which, among other things, reduce parking requirements for homes and businesses if they offer services like bicycle and electric car pools.

Kulturhuset Stadsteatern AB is proposed to decide on its strategic direction and three-year plan for 2027-2029. This plan includes extending opening hours at Sergels torg, offering free entry to galleries during the summer, and developing programs in areas like Järva to highlight new voices. They also plan an international theater festival, investigate continued actor training in Husby and the start of a writing program in Järva, and relocate Materialmagasinet to new premises.

This report covers matters submitted to the municipality between March 12 and 25, 2026. New cases include, for instance, a query from the Swedish Transport Administration regarding maintenance of Värtan railyard, a program for urban farming, a report on preschools in Stockholm 2025, and proposals for a new fee model for Kulturskolan Stockholm.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate limiting elementary school changes primarily to term starts, similar to Uppsala, to create stability for schools, students, and staff. The City Executive Board responded that Stockholm already has school change periods and lacks the legal basis to restrict changes solely to term starts, suggesting the issue be addressed by the government. However, the Moderates and Jan Jönsson (L) dissented, advocating for the municipality to further investigate this with clear change windows and exception rules, believing a more defined framework strengthens both schools and student security.

Andréa Hedin (M) criticizes Elderly Care and Culture Commissioner Torun Boucher (V) for slow action on alcohol service for seniors in municipal housing and community centers, citing unfulfilled promises and a ban on liqueur at the Väduren senior residence. Boucher responds that the city is actively seeking solutions balancing resident autonomy and alcohol laws, noting a solution for Väduren where residents can host events with alcohol, and new support for districts to apply for temporary serving permits.

The City Executive Board approved the formation of Kista Utveckling AB, a company owned by Stockholm Stadshus AB, to drive and coordinate urban development, business collaboration, and place development in Kista to enhance the area's attractiveness. A budget of -10 million SEK and an unconditional shareholder contribution of 100 million SEK were approved for 2026.

This agenda item concerns the approval of Stockholms Stadshus AB's purchase of negative emissions from Stockholm Exergi's BECCS facility. Stockholm Exergi is building a carbon capture plant at Värtaverket, where captured CO2 will be permanently stored under the seabed off Bergen, Norway. The purchase, which could amount to a maximum of SEK 120 million annually between 2029 and 2043, aims to help the City of Stockholm achieve its climate goals of being climate-positive by 2030 and fossil-free by 2040 at the latest, by balancing hard-to-reduce emissions.

The Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB group board approved a status report for several ongoing major projects, each with an estimated final cost exceeding one billion SEK, including the upgrade of Grovrening Sickla part 2, the construction of Mässtunneln, and infrastructure works in Årstafältet stage 1. The board noted that all reported projects remained within their approved budgets and were progressing well, while emphasizing the importance of continued strong governance and risk management.

The City Executive Board and the Group Board for Stockholm City Hall AB approved a revised directive for Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB's Centrala Bromma, Riksby project, with an investment cost of SEK 636 million. The project, which enables the development of housing and commercial spaces, has been scaled down to improve profitability. This decision means Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB (SVOA) is responsible for the planning and construction management of the water and wastewater system, and will incur SEK 8 million in sunk costs.

The City Council approved Familjebostäder's extensive SEK 434 million renovation plan for the Draget 1 property on Södermalm, encompassing 178 homes and twelve commercial premises. This project, which includes pipe replacements, new bathrooms, kitchen upgrades, and surface renovations, is set for completion by Q3 2030, with tenants being temporarily relocated. Tenants had previously challenged the plan, but both the Rent Tribunal and the Court of Appeal endorsed Familjebostäder's proposed measures and three renovation levels.

The boards of Micasa Fastigheter i Stockholm AB and the Skarpnäck District Council have approved the construction of a new care home with 80 apartments, a day center, and a senior meeting point at Bergholmsbacken in Bagarmossen. The project, now preliminarily estimated to be completed by the end of 2030, will incur an annual rent of approximately SEK 28 million for the district council in year one (in 2029 monetary value). The Sweden Democrats dissented, arguing that Bergholmsbacken is an inappropriate location due to it being a valued green space.

Micasa Fastigheter and the Hägersten-Älvsjö district council decided to propose to the City Council a major renovation and conversion of building C in Fruängsgården 1. This means Fruängsgården's service house will be phased out and redeveloped into a nursing and care home with 97 apartments, addressing the growing need for such places in the city. Residents of the current service house and Axgården nursing home will be temporarily relocated during construction, with priority for other service houses or similar accommodations.

The City Executive Board, the Group Board for Stockholms Stadshus AB, and Micasa Fastigheter i Stockholm AB approved the plan to convert the Trehörningen 1 property in Gröndal into a care home with 92 apartments, which will replace the existing 100-apartment Trekantens service house. The Hägersten-Älvsjö City District Council will also receive a SEK 0.5 million grant for preliminary project planning.

The Group Board approved the follow-up of the internal control plan for 2025 for the parent company Stockholms Stadshus AB. The plan covered the review of how the business is governed, led, planned, and followed up, as well as information security efforts. The company assessed that internal control during 2025 was sufficient, and no significant deficiencies were discovered during external review.

The Group Board has approved the 2025 financial statements for the Stockholms Stadshus AB Group, allowing the annual report to be presented at the company's AGM. Of the parent company's SEK 17,984,002,711 in unrestricted funds, the entire sum was carried forward. The decision also approved the auditor's reports and tasked relevant group companies with following up and addressing the observations made by the auditors.

The Group Executive Board noted the financial monthly report for the group of companies as of February 28, 2026. The report showed that the total net debt had increased by almost SEK 3 billion since the turn of the year to just over SEK 100.5 billion, mainly due to Familjebostäder's acquisition of Hjulstahem. A deviation from the financial policy regarding direct lending to Stockholmsmässan had occurred but was retroactively addressed by a decision of the Group Executive Board, which established a new framework of SEK 700 million.

Jonas Naddebo (C) is questioning Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren about the state of saunas in Stockholm. The Centre Party believes that despite the ambition to make Stockholm a "sauna city," bureaucratic processes have increased, resulting in fewer new saunas and two-thirds of building permit applications being denied. Naddebo's questions concern the delayed investigation into saunas, how the city will prevent bureaucracy from hindering its goal of more saunas, and whether the Commissioner plans to simplify regulations to facilitate more saunas and bathing opportunities.

Per Rosencrantz (M) questioned Emilia Bjuggren (S) regarding Stockholm's city planning in light of declining birth rates and slower population growth. He inquired how the city adapts its planning for schools, housing, and the labor market to these demographic shifts, and what measures are planned to make Stockholm more attractive to families with children, citing the scrapped elementary school in Hagastaden due to insufficient children as an example.

An interpellation from Andréa Hedin (M) to the Commissioner of Schools, Emilia Bjuggren (S), addresses limiting social media in Stockholm's schools. Hedin questions why work on implementing technical blocks on school computers and tablets hasn't been prioritized sooner, arguing for a clear, general solution to ensure a calm study environment. Bjuggren replies that a solution blocking social media and inappropriate websites on school devices is planned for autumn term 2026, with no decision on target group adaptation yet, and doesn't rule out the blocks needing to apply around the clock.

Opposition politician Dennis Wedin (M) has interpellated Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding why nearly 10,000 Stockholmers' complaints about inadequate snow removal in January were closed without individual assessment. Questions are raised about the city's handling of these complaints, whether residents should lower their expectations, and the nature of the closed reports, given the significant accessibility and safety issues experienced during January's snowfall, which may have led to acute cases being missed.

The Moderates are questioning why the Social Democrats have created uncertainty regarding Djurgården Hockey Club's future. Djurgården had planned to build a new arena in Tallkrogen following the demolition of Hovet, but now Hovet may remain until 2030, and a land allocation in Tallkrogen has been halted. This creates problems for Djurgården and risks a significant private investment in ice hockey.

Annika Elmlund (M) questioned Elder and Culture Commissioner Torun Boucher (V) about the requirements for cinemas receiving municipal support, following perceived antisemitic messages displayed at Biograf Zita. Boucher responded that the city does not support activities violating democratic conditions or Swedish law but emphasized the "arm's length principle" to protect artistic freedom. She concluded that Biograf Zita had broken no rules and saw no need to change guidelines, given the fundamental importance of freedom of speech and artistic expression.

Dennis Wedin (M) has questioned Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding the City of Stockholm's failure to provide information on ice thickness at popular locations like Årstaviken and Riddarfjärden, citing public safety concerns, especially for families with children. Wedin argues that knowing the ice conditions is crucial for safe recreation and asks if Strömgren is open to implementing a system for regular ice thickness measurement and publication by next winter.

Emelie Wassermann (SD) has questioned Sports Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) regarding Svedmyrabadet, which has been closed since September 2024 without a decision on renovation or reopening, and with no promised replacement solutions. Wassermann demands to know when a decision will be made, what alternative bathing options are planned, especially given that Sandsborgsbadet is also slated for renovation, and why bathers are left without alternatives.

Dennis Wedin (M) is questioning Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding the halted investigation into decking over Nynäsvägen. This busy road, used by up to 76,000 vehicles daily, creates noise and exhaust, dividing neighborhoods like Gamla Enskede and Johanneshov. Wedin argues that the previous study was stopped due to alleged financial concerns, but without any concrete economic justification for the decision.

Councillor Johan Paccamonti (M) has questioned Climate and Environment Commissioner Åsa Lindhagen (MP) regarding the frequent disappearance of Stockholm's green spaces, particularly in villa areas, as the city densifies. He specifically cited Myrberget in Bromma, a green space with high natural value used by Alviksskolan students, which is at risk of development. Paccamonti seeks clarification on which natural values are prioritized and what measures the Commissioner will take to prevent the exploitation of Myrberget.

A Moderate politician questioned the City Planning Commissioner about the exclusion of an area near Ålstensskogen and Storskogen in Bromma from the new nature reserve, expressing concern over potential housing development and secrecy surrounding the plans. The Commissioner responded that the city aims to both protect nature and build housing in southern Bromma, thus establishing a nature reserve while also allocating land for approximately 50 new rental units, which will undergo an open planning process.

Andréa Hedin (M) questioned Alexander Ojanne (S), the Commissioner for Security, about the successful but underutilized School Social Team Plus (SST+) project aimed at helping students with high absenteeism return to school, asking how it would be expanded city-wide. Ojanne replied that SST+ has been made permanent and will be gradually introduced starting in focus areas, with a new, integrated approach to be evaluated by summer 2026 before further rollout, while regular School Social Teams are simultaneously strengthened in other districts.

Kristin Jacobsson (C) questioned why residents at the Väduren senior housing no longer could have an "avec" with their coffee at the communal Thursday fika, which they had organized for years, calling it unnecessary paternalism. The Vice Mayor for the Elderly and Culture, Torun Boucher (V), explained that the city must follow alcohol laws requiring serving permits when organizing activities. A solution was found: residents can continue their fika and consume alcohol if they organize it themselves, without the city acting as an organizer, thus respecting both the law and residents' wishes.

Councillor Svante Linusson (C) questioned Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) about banning gasoline-powered vehicles on bike paths due to pollution and health risks. Strömgren shares the concern but stated the municipality cannot ban only gasoline mopeds, only all Class 2 mopeds (including electric). He has contacted the Minister for Infrastructure to explore introducing environmental zones for mopeds or reclassifying them, enabling targeted measures against fossil-fueled mopeds.

The Moderates questioned why the City of Stockholm is spending money marketing municipal schools instead of improving quality, asking about costs, how preschools inform guardians, and how the campaign will boost results. City Commissioner of Schools, Emilia Bjuggren (S), responded that it's not an ad campaign but an information effort for guardians, including meeting details, to ensure they can make informed school choices by highlighting collaboration, facilities, and qualified teachers.

Tom Hedrup (M) has questioned Housing Commissioner Deniz Butros (V) regarding the significant and growing debt of Stockholm's municipal housing companies (Stockholmshem, Familjebostäder, and Svenska Bostäder), which now totals approximately SEK 36 billion. He seeks to understand the projected debt development, if there's a plan to reduce it, and whether there's a risk of property sales or a negative impact on the city's credit rating.

Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned Housing Commissioner Deniz Butros (V) about Stockholm's housing policy. He criticized plans to build more multi-family homes and rental properties in areas with villas and tenant-owned apartments, respectively, and expressed concern about the potential impact on green spaces. Paccamonti argued that policy should align with residents' desire for villas rather than developing green areas.

Nike Örbrink (KD) questioned Finance Commissioner Karin Wanngård (S) regarding the City of Stockholm's stance on the Eastern Link road project, noting a signed declaration of intent yet apparent city opposition. Wanngård confirmed the declaration was a government requirement for public transport funding, not an endorsement of the road. She stated the red-green majority remains opposed due to concerns about profitability, increased emissions, and potential displacement of public transport, adding the city will democratically work to prevent its construction.

Per Rosencrantz (M) questioned Stockholm's rising debt, nearing SEK 100 billion, particularly criticizing the acquisition of Hjulstahem, arguing it merely adds debt and risk to Familjebostäder without creating new housing. Finance Commissioner Karin Wanngård (S) countered that the purchase strengthens Familjebostäder's finances, enables urban development in Hjulsta, and is economically sound with rental income covering loans, giving the city greater influence over Hjulsta centrum's development.

Therese Lindström (M) raised concerns with Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding the significantly worsened traffic situation in southern Stockholm, criticizing the simultaneous execution of multiple major roadworks. Strömgren responded that total disruptions are unavoidable during infrastructure development, but the traffic department is intensely coordinating efforts and maintaining high standards for work environment and accessibility. The one-way traffic on Skansbron was implemented for worker safety and to shorten project duration, with full capacity at Johanneshov set for late 2025 and Skansbron reopening in both directions on December 9, 2025, at 6 AM.

Nike Örbrink (KD) questioned Finance Commissioner Karin Wanngård (S) regarding Stockholm's business climate, citing a decline in the city's ranking in Svenskt Näringsliv's measurements and asking what measures are being taken to reverse the trend and improve procurement. Wanngård (S) disagreed with the assessment of a worsening climate, pointing to other reports that show Stockholm as innovative and attractive, but acknowledged the challenges in Svenskt Näringsliv's measurement are taken seriously, outlining actions such as a new business policy, a "single point of contact" for entrepreneurs, local business developers, and investments in building permit management and innovation environments.

Unit Manager Annette Mathiesen provided an update on the development of the city's preventive social services. She detailed how services have been improved and expanded in anticipation of the new Social Services Act, including work at Starbogården and Kompassen, more Elderly Guides and Guides, digital support home visitors, and efforts in fall prevention and caregiver support. This information was noted, and no decisions were made.

The Hässelby-Vällingby Pensioners' Council had no comments on the matters to be discussed at the district council meeting on April 23, 2026. This means the council did not express any opinions regarding the decisions affecting pensioners in the area.

The District Administration reported on several initiatives, including a collaboration with Vällingby healthcare center to have case officers on-site. Discussions are also underway to improve the Social Services' accessibility, with requests for faster phone callbacks and better access to case officers, even outside office hours. They also addressed two complaints regarding a lack of double staffing and home care's difficulty gaining entry during an alarm, and announced that summer planning is in progress for residences and home care services.

The council discussed proposals for barbecue areas in the new nature reserve in Riddersvik/Kyrkhamn/Lövsta, providing feedback on accessibility, including wheelchair access, higher benches with armrests, handrails, and written information. They also recommended specific grill models and requested a solution for waste collection.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council has appointed new substitute members to the Pensioners' Council. Wivan Lindberg was nominated by PRO and Barbro Erlandsson by SPF, meaning the council now has new representatives to safeguard the interests of pensioners in the area.

Council members Jan Jönsson (L) and Isabel Smedberg Palmqvist propose that the city investigate and identify more suitable locations for street art in Stockholm's outer districts. The aim is to strengthen cultural life and make art more accessible outside the inner city, fostering a vibrant city, local identity, and increased well-being for residents.

The motion proposes that the City of Stockholm support the construction of the Eastern Link, a planned car tunnel between Frihamnen and Nacka that would connect the Southern and Northern Links. This project aims to reduce queues, congestion, and emissions, improve public transport and commuting, and relieve the inner city from through traffic.

Stockholm City Council will appoint a new board, including chair, members, and auditors, for the as-yet-unfounded municipal housing company AB Hjulstahem. This election covers the period from the 2026 Annual General Meeting until the 2027 Annual General Meeting, ensuring AB Hjulstahem has a functioning, transparently-managed leadership once established.

The Group Board receives notification matters concerning various referral responses from Stockholm City Hall AB and its subsidiaries. This includes the procurement of debt collection and payment exchange services, proposals for stricter control of waste management, SAO jobs for young people, a life science strategy for Stockholm-Uppsala, an action plan for an age-friendly city, a revised food strategy, and the development of Piazza Odenplan.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Isabel Smedberg-Palmqvist (L) proposed that Stockholm City should promote more art and culture in nursing homes to improve the quality of life for seniors, requesting a strategy from the Culture and Elder Care Committees. The City responded that extensive work is already underway to strengthen art and culture in elder care, notably through the "Culture for Seniors" model, thus a new strategy is deemed unnecessary by the majority, despite some reservations noting varying access to culture across facilities and districts and the potential for a strategy to ensure greater equality.

Council members Jan Jönsson, Björn Ljung, and Åsa Nilsson Söderström (L) proposed that Stockholm city investigate and tighten its democratic conditions for renting premises and providing cultural support, to prevent anti-democratic groups from renting city properties and spreading their agenda. The City Executive Office states that similar work is already underway per the 2025 and 2026 budget, focusing on updating guidelines and strengthening controls. While some committees believe current guidelines suffice or warn of increased bureaucracy, several are open to review and clarification.

Councillor Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes simplifying city regulations for restaurants, nightclubs, and live venues, arguing current rules hinder Stockholm's appeal. He suggests removing complex permit requirements, allowing simple, fee-free year-round outdoor seating via a "Stockholm meter" concept, and urging the government to modernize national laws. The city acknowledges its ongoing work to strengthen the visitor industry and simplify processes, including more outdoor seating, but notes many regulations are national and beyond municipal control.

Kristin Jacobsson (C) proposed "Vinterhjälpen," a pilot project for Stockholm to help seniors with snow removal and de-icing using students or young people from Jobbtorg Stockholm, aiming to reduce falls and social isolation. However, the City Executive Board rejected the proposal due to legal challenges concerning competition law and the risk that the service would not be accessible to all seniors.

Council members Therese Lindström and Theréz Randquist (M) proposed that Stockholm investigate the possibility of creating floating park islands, inspired by Copenhagen, to increase biodiversity and create new recreational areas. The majority of the City Executive Board stated that similar solutions are already being implemented, so a new pilot project is unnecessary, but the Moderates dissented, advocating for the motion's approval.

The Liberals propose that the municipality investigate a strategy to coordinate and streamline Stockholm's artist studio inventory, citing the need for renovations and varying rents creating unequal conditions and potentially displacing artists. The City Executive Board notes that a similar strategy (Studio Strategy 2024–2026) is already in place and work is ongoing to create more studios and address high rents. However, the Liberals believe a more comprehensive overview is needed to guarantee reasonable rents and preserve cultural environments.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes strengthening Stockholm's community resilience points—locations where residents can get help during crises like power outages or war—by increasing their number, improving geographic spread, ensuring staffing and equipment, and providing better public information and signage. The City acknowledges ongoing crisis preparedness efforts and the 31 existing points for information and basic services during prolonged disruptions. However, they argue against major investments before national decisions on the design and funding of such points, to avoid future changes, and prioritize upgrading public shelters.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that Stockholm introduce a building permit robot and investigate automating more permit processes, such as for outdoor seating, to reduce lengthy processing times that negatively impact businesses and individuals. The City Executive Board responded that the city is already working on digitizing and streamlining permit processes but sees no reason to specifically introduce a building permit robot at this time.

A motion by the Sweden Democrats proposes halting plans to build approximately 140 homes in Klubbensborgsbacken, Mälarhöjden, arguing it would destroy a unique forest ecosystem and negatively impact local nature and residents' access to green spaces. The City Executive Board, supported by other committees, advises against stopping the project, citing Stockholm's housing shortage and adherence to democratic processes. The project is currently paused while a consultation report, incorporating public feedback, awaits completion and decision by the City Planning Committee.

Two liberal politicians, Björn Ljung and André Nilsson, propose that Stockholm allow construction companies to pay for detailed development plans over time rather than upfront, aiming to ease burdens during downturns and boost construction. However, city officials and the responsible commissioner advise against this, stating that the current continuous invoicing model is transparent, and high construction costs are primarily due to increased building and capital expenses. They also believe deferred payments could shift financial risks from developers to the city.

Two SD politicians sought to halt plans for new housing at Lågbron 1 in Långbro Park, arguing it would damage the park and that the existing building should be preserved. The City Council responded that housing plans for that site have already been stopped, but work continues on a new cafe building. The property is privately owned, not parkland, and the ongoing work aims for small-scale development and a better-suited cafe.

Jan Jönsson of theerna Liberal Party proposed Stockholm create a combined upper secondary and adult education center, Viva Lyceum healthcare, to attract more people to healthcare professions, partly by subsidizing driving licenses for students who complete their education. The city responded that it has already introduced paid driving licenses for the healthcare program but advises against merging upper secondary and adult education due to potential organizational and pedagogical challenges.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that SISAB, owner of school buildings, should cover costs for new entry systems, ventilation, and soundproofing in cafeterias, instead of schools themselves, to ensure all schools can afford good safety and working environments regardless of their finances. The majority of the City Executive Board agrees that entry system costs should fall under SISAB's responsibility and that a review of the cooperation agreement is underway to facilitate this, but cautions that too many shifted costs could lead to higher rents and reduced funds for education.

The Liberals proposed an inventory and upgrade of all Stockholm schoolyards to ensure accessibility for children with disabilities, citing a report that many feel excluded. While the majority of committees and the municipal board believe the city is already addressing this through existing programs and accessibility guidelines, with several schoolyards already being upgraded, the opposition argues the current work is insufficient and the motion should therefore be approved.

Jan Jönsson (L) suggests Stockholm offer vocational programs at popular inner-city schools with a theoretical profile, aiming to boost the appeal of vocational training and reduce the norm of choosing university-preparatory programs. The city responds that it is already actively working to strengthen vocational programs, including placing a program at Bromma Gymnasium, and is further educating study and career counselors to better inform students.

Two SD politicians proposed transforming the amphitheater in Rålambshovsparken into a safe, year-round meeting place, suggesting a café, summer dance stage, and winter ice rink to enhance safety and attract more visitors. However, the City Executive Board stated that the city's current efforts already align with these ideas, as they are already clearing brush, renovating stands, arranging a dance area, making ice for skating, and actively working to increase the use of the space.

Liberal Party members proposed that the City of Stockholm thoroughly investigate its involvement in the former Eolshäll boys' home, where boys were abused from the 1970s to the 1990s, and explore compensation for victims, drawing inspiration from the Norwegian "rettferdsvederlag" model. However, the majority, represented by the reporting City Commissioner, believes the issue is too complex for the City to investigate alone, suggesting a new state-led inquiry into historical neglect would be more appropriate given the multiple institutions and municipalities involved and evolving responsibilities over time.

Councillors Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) proposed a stronger link between Stockholm's social services and research, suggesting a research hub for social workers and researchers, and increased evaluation of social interventions. The city responded that it already collaborates closely with research institutions and universities, preferring flexible partnerships over a dedicated research hub, emphasizing digitalization and existing collaborations for service development.

Two Center Party politicians proposed a major upgrade for Stockholm's Valhallavägen to make it greener, safer, and more pleasant, including moving parking to garages for green spaces, playgrounds, and bike paths, and improving lighting and cleanliness. While many suggestions are already planned, the City Executive Board stated that other areas have higher investment priority, and the Traffic Committee and Norra innerstaden District Committee confirmed the need for improvements but noted the full proposal exceeds the current budget.

Councillor Andréa Hedin (M) proposed that municipal employees be granted paid leave to become foster parents, arguing this would alleviate the shortage of foster homes and offer children safer environments than institutions. However, the City Executive Board advises against the proposal, citing potential high costs, a risk of staff shortages, and the failure of similar initiatives in Karlskrona to recruit foster homes. They emphasize that the city is already working to strengthen support for foster homes and plans to launch a central recruitment unit.

The Centre Party proposed a pilot project to test self-driving cars in Stockholm with Waymo, aiming to understand the technology's urban functionality. However, the municipal executive board and several committees, including the Traffic Committee and the Farsta and Södermalm district committees, rejected the motion. They argued that the city is already monitoring developments through existing networks and research, and that such a pilot is premature given the need for further regulatory investigation and Waymo's lack of application to test in Stockholm.

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm prioritize renovation and maintenance of culturally significant buildings, explore budget adjustments for this, and establish a cultural heritage fund to protect associations from rent increases due to renovations, thereby preventing evictions of groups like those at Södergården and Kristinehovs malmgård. The majority, however, deems these proposals unsustainable, citing ongoing work on structural solutions, such as investigating the Culture Committee becoming the primary tenant for properties with important cultural value.

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm act more forcefully to protect privately owned buildings of cultural-historical importance, including by introducing clearer guidelines and investigating compulsory management for neglect, citing the fire-damaged Hedvig 7 property in Spånga as an example. The majority responded that they are already working to strengthen existing tools and coordinate city practices, but contend that the city has limited authority and that sharper legislation for compulsory management beyond the housing sector is a matter for the government.

Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed that Stockholm investigate building a multi-sport track for skiing and parasports, similar to a roller-ski track, to create an accessible year-round training environment for various activities and groups, including children, youth, and people with disabilities. The city confirmed it's already discussing similar initiatives with the Stockholm Ski Association and views the multi-sport track concept positively. However, the city believes this matter is already covered by existing assignments and doesn't require a separate investigation.

The Liberals proposed that the city investigate financial support for sports clubs affected by facility closures for renovation, along with a plan to increase facility access. The majority argued that sufficient support, such as rent assistance and temporary facilities, already exists and that a new subsidy would be difficult to distribute fairly. The City Council decided the motion was addressed by reference to these existing measures.

André Nilsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate building an artificial surf wave in Slussen to boost recreation, tourism, and activity in the city center. Most committees and companies are positive to the idea, seeing its potential to enhance the city's appeal, but emphasize that Slussen's primary functions of water regulation and boat traffic must remain paramount. A full investigation is needed to address safety, technical solutions, and funding, among other aspects.

The Liberals propose "School Peace," an initiative with an additional SEK 10 million to enhance traffic safety around schools, focusing on improving crosswalks, dangerous intersections, lighting, and snow removal. While city departments agree on the importance of safe school routes and already address this through the "Safe School Routes" project with an annual budget of SEK 15-20 million, the Liberals argue current efforts are insufficient and more schools need quicker action.

Two Center Party politicians propose that the City of Stockholm investigate freeze-drying leftover food from schools and elderly care homes to reduce food waste and strengthen food preparedness during crises. They also suggest a pilot project in selected schools and the establishment of a municipal crisis stockpile of freeze-dried food. However, the City Executive Board advises against the proposal, stating that the city already actively works to reduce food waste and is building both local and a central emergency food reserve, though not specifically freeze-dried food.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (L) propose initiatives to improve accessibility in Stockholm for everyone, especially people with disabilities, by addressing issues like construction bags blocking paths and poor snow removal. The City Executive Board responds that the city is already working on these issues, citing a legislative proposal that could give the city more authority to manage public obstacles, a pilot project against construction bags, and enhanced brine treatment for pedestrian and bicycle paths.

Mikael Valier Furtenbach (KD) proposed that Stockholm introduce special "architecture zones" in the inner city and older districts to control the height, volume, materials, and design language of new constructions to better blend with existing older architecture. The City Executive Board rejected the proposal, stating that sufficient guidelines and laws already exist to protect the city's character, and that the city must also be able to develop with new architectural expressions for future generations.

Kristin Jacobsson (C) proposed that the City of Stockholm adhere to the Council of Europe's Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, ensuring potential victims receive 30-day reflection permits and a "rights package" including housing, support, and counseling, citing a low number of applications despite widespread exploitation. While the City Executive Board, represented by Alexander Ojanne (S), affirmed the importance of protecting vulnerable individuals and stated the city is already active in this area and revising its program against violence, prostitution, and trafficking, many referral bodies, including the Salvation Army and Talita, agreed with the motion that shortcomings exist and more victims need identification and support.

Liberals proposed that Stockholm City investigate the living conditions of elderly LGBTQI+ individuals in elder care, require LGBTQI+ competence in elder care procurements, and provide staff training on LGBTQI+ issues, citing this group's vulnerability. The red-green majority on the City Executive Board responded that the city already addresses these matters through an LGBTQI+ rights action plan and ongoing staff training, believing that equitable elder care is built through long-term human rights work rather than temporary investigations. The Liberals reserved their position, arguing that more could and should be done to strengthen LGBTQI+ competence.

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, social development, and understanding of nature and sustainability. The City Executive Board responded that sufficient guidelines and initiatives already exist to promote gardening in preschools, and emphasized that individual preschools should choose how they work with curriculum goals.

Councillor Claes Nyberg (Centre Party) proposed Stockholm introduce sibling priority for preschool placements where an older sibling attends a nearby or linked primary school, aiming to ease stress for families, especially women. However, the city deemed this proposal impractical given that preschools and schools belong to different organizations, making its implementation too complex and thus unwarranted at this time.

Councilor Hanna Werner (M) proposed developing Odenplan into a greener, more vibrant, and safer city square with more trees and improved bicycle parking. The City Executive Office and the Traffic Committee noted that improvement work is already underway and the area is affected by the new subway line, due in 2028, which currently limits new interventions on the square itself. However, the bike garage will be expanded with more e-bike spaces and bike boxes, an initiative already budgeted for 2026.

The Liberals propose that the city begin planning for a Stockholm Exhibition in 2030, a century after the original exhibition showcasing architecture and design. This exhibition would focus on urban planning, sustainability, and design, involving citizens, businesses, and cultural institutions. The majority of the City Executive Board states that work on investigating the conditions for such an exhibition is already underway, referencing existing studies that demonstrate the potential of such an event.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed merging Stockholm's three municipal housing companies – Familjebostäder, Svenska Bostäder, and Stockholmshem – to explore potential cost reductions, improved climate and energy enhancements, and increased housing availability. The municipal executive board's majority rejected the motion, stating the companies already collaborate on these goals and a merger could hinder governance and raise competition concerns. The Center Party, however, still advocates for an investigation, believing it would offer several advantages to Stockholm residents.

Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed an "athletics standard" for Stockholm, which would mandate early planning and land allocation for sports facilities in new construction projects to meet future demand. This initiative is supported by several sports federations who highlight an acute shortage of facilities in Stockholm, disproportionately affecting children and youth.

Dennis Wedin (M) has proposed that the Exploitation Committee find a permanent solution for Örnsbergs Kanotsällskap, including a location for a new clubhouse, as their previous one in Gröndal was demolished in 2018 for housing development, and their current Reimersholme contract is temporary. The city states that committees are already actively working on a solution, exploring options in both Gröndal and Reimersholme, and thus no further directives are needed. However, the opposition argues that the process has been too slow and costly, and the city must fulfill its promises.

Councillor Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed that Stockholm investigate offering swimming lessons to newly arrived adults via SFI and involving sports clubs to boost swimming proficiency for integration and public health. The City Executive Board majority responded that the city already undertakes similar initiatives, including through Welcome House, and that a state inquiry recommends SFI provide information about swimming lessons, deeming the motion addressed. The Moderates and Liberals dissented, advocating for the motion's approval and further investigation to combine city and club resources.

A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed expanding Hammarbybacken with an additional peak and raising the current one using excavation spoil from subway construction, aiming to promote year-round sports and recreation and strengthen Stockholm as an event city. However, the City Executive Board rejected the motion, citing a lack of surplus excavation material and the sensitive natural values of the area, including the Nacka nature reserve, which must be considered.

Nike Örbrink (KD) proposes increasing the use of therapy animals in Stockholm's care homes to boost residents' emotional well-being, especially for those with cognitive impairment. While some districts like Bromma and Järva report positive experiences with reduced stress and loneliness, the City Executive Office and Elderly Care Committee highlight challenges such as limited access to trained animals, allergies, hygiene rules, and the need for risk assessments, even as they work to promote their use.

Local politicians from the Center Party propose that the City of Stockholm and Region Stockholm develop a joint routine to ensure equitable and coordinated support for preschool children with autism across the city, including during the transition to school, citing current disparities between districts. However, the municipal board majority believes existing collaborations and a child health program are sufficient, asserting the preschool's pedagogical role and the region's treatment responsibility, while acknowledging that treatment can occur in preschool. Despite this, a majority of committees and interest groups agree with the Center Party on the need for a common routine to ensure consistent support.

Councillor Nike Örbrink (Christian Democrats) proposed that the City of Stockholm amend its rules to allow seniors to drink their own alcohol at the city's meeting points, such as Lusthuset Hornstull, to "add a touch of luxury to their everyday lives." The City Executive Board advises against the proposal, arguing that current legislation would make it impossible to sell refreshments and non-alcoholic drinks if personal alcohol were permitted, thus detracting from the social experience for most. However, the Södermalm District Council has initiated a trial where residents of a service house can drink their own alcohol at Lusthuset when it is closed to the public.

The Liberals proposed that Stockholm increase electrification investments, investigate faster implementation, and allocate more budget funds, arguing it's crucial for climate goals, air quality, and easier adoption of electric vehicles, particularly in outer areas with poor charging options. The City Executive Board responded that the city is already actively pursuing electrification through its Climate Action Plan 2030 and collaboration groups, with many measures underway, thus seeing no need for additional mandates.

Two Liberal politicians, Sara Svanström and Elin Hjelmestam, propose that Stockholm investigate and implement higher parking fees for fossil fuel-powered cars to favor environmentally friendly vehicles, thereby reducing emissions and improving air quality. However, the City Executive Board states that current legislation does not permit differentiated parking fees based on vehicle type, though the city itself has proposed a legal amendment to the government.

The Centre Party proposed redeveloping Stadsgårdskajen with 180 homes, 25,000 sqm of offices and shops built over a covered road, plus a park, marina, cold bathhouse, and stage. Several committees criticized the proposal for its potential negative cultural impact, high cost, and inconsistency with the current comprehensive plan, leading the City Executive Board to recommend its rejection. The Centre Party, however, reserved the right to dissent, arguing an investigation is needed to explore creating a more vibrant and accessible urban environment.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Christina Tufvesson (L) propose that the City of Stockholm investigate how to create and provide more affordable premises for associations and local businesses, especially in the outer city, citing a strong commitment but a lack of venues in these areas. The City Executive Board acknowledges the proposal, noting that the city already has similar initiatives like Föreningsservice and Kulturlotsen, and emphasizes that any further work must be coordinated with existing efforts to avoid creating parallel structures.

C, M, and KD councillors proposed that sports clubs should keep subsidized rents even when serving low-alcohol beer at events. This would allow clubs to earn money from beer sales without incurring higher rent costs. The City of Stockholm has already decided to introduce a special club tariff from 2026 that will enable this, so the motion is answered with the issue already being resolved.

The Liberals proposed improving Stockholm's strategy for single-family home areas, advocating for new constructions to better integrate with neighborhood character and for green spaces to be protected during projects, particularly to safeguard unique garden cities like Gamla Enskede and Äppelviken. The city responded that the Planning and Building Committee is already reviewing the strategy, especially considering upcoming legal changes, and believes the motion's intentions can be addressed within this ongoing work without a new political directive.

The Liberals proposed that the City of Stockholm develop an action plan to reduce dropouts from SFI (Swedish for Immigrants), arguing that many discontinue their studies, hindering integration and employment opportunities. However, the City Executive Board, supported by several administrations, rejected the motion, stating that the city already has structured measures in place, such as flexible study breaks and cohesive study groups, to address dropouts. While some district councils agreed on the need for more collaboration and leveraging local experiences, they, like the Board, did not deem a new plan necessary, with the exception of Enskede-Årsta-Vantör's district council, which was positive towards an action plan.

Two Center Party politicians propose converting Stockholm's parking garages into "protected spaces" for use during crises or war, equipping them with water, toilets, ventilation, and meeting MSB requirements. City politicians and administrations largely support the idea but state that significant action awaits clear national requirements and state funding.

The Liberals propose that Stockholm should restore and preserve historical parks like Humlegården and Vasaparken, ensuring new installations match the original style and making it easier to establish small kiosks offering cultural and food items. While the City Executive Board believes the city already works in line with these intentions, the Liberals argue a clearer, long-term strategy is needed to preserve and vitalize the parks' unique character.

The Liberals proposed that Stockholm City allow associations to manage smaller parks through user agreements, aiming to maintain parks and boost local engagement. While several committees supported increased involvement, they stressed that the city must retain legal responsibility for the parks. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered by referring to the statement, meaning the proposal is not fully adopted, but the city's existing work with user agreements will continue.

The Liberals have proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate how to increase the number of workplaces in Söderort, citing an uneven distribution that leads to long commutes. The City Executive Office states that this is already being addressed through existing budget assignments and a forthcoming comprehensive plan, which will analyze office space needs and strengthen business in Söderort. The Liberals contend that more could be done to facilitate company establishment, such as offering better premises and faster permit processes.

Dennis Wedin (M) expressed concern over declining new business ventures and reduced city support in Stockholm, proposing that Stockholm Business Region resume advising startups and that the city establish a consolidated permit center for businesses. However, the City Executive Board disagreed, asserting that the new Entreprenör Stockholm initiative is a superior model focusing on green transition, social entrepreneurship, and in-demand professions, while also ensuring more efficient use of taxpayer money. They emphasized existing extensive business promotion efforts and the imminent establishment of a new business policy.

Councillor Jan Jönsson (L) proposed naming a place in Stockholm after Aaron Isaac, the first Jew permitted to reside in Sweden without converting to Christianity in 1775, to highlight the Jewish minority's historical contributions, especially during the 250th anniversary of established Jewish life in Sweden. The City Executive Board rejected the proposal, citing the Naming Committee's view that no suitable location exists and that existing names linked to Isaac could cause confusion. Instead, they suggested increasing information about existing places bearing his name, such as the Aronsberg Jewish cemetery on Kungsholmen.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm map afrophobia in schools, including discrimination, hate crimes, and dialogue with civil society. The majority argued that a broader mapping of all racism is already underway in the city's educational activities. They believe the results from this existing mapping should be awaited before undertaking further specialized studies.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed a new mapping of antisemitism in Stockholm's schools and preschools to assess the current situation and develop an action plan. The administrations believe the city is already actively combating racism, including antisemitism, through a new action plan against racism and a planned mapping of all forms of racism in educational activities during 2025. They recommend awaiting the results of ongoing work before considering a new, specific mapping of antisemitism.

Councilman Jan Jönsson (L) proposed introducing a Swedish language test, similar to the existing math test, to better track students' reading comprehension and provide schools with tools for improvement. However, the City Executive Board and the Education Administration rejected the proposal. They cited a 2022 investigation which found that such a test would be difficult to design comparably with 9th-grade grades and would be too extensive, costly, and administratively demanding.

The Centre Party proposed the city map all avenues and old trees, create a preservation and development plan, and identify locations for new avenues, including transforming Karlbergsvägen into a green esplanade. The Executive Board responded that the city is already working on tree protection and planting, developing a new tree policy, and has hired a tree strategist, but found planting more trees on Karlbergsvägen difficult due to underground infrastructure.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm map the prevalence of homophobia and transphobia within its operations to understand the problem's extent and develop concrete anti-discrimination measures for LGBTQI+ individuals. While several committees supported the work's importance, they believed existing human rights programs and an LGBTQI+ action plan already address the issue, arguing a separate mapping would be difficult and current reporting systems suffice. Jönsson and others, however, emphasized the need for a specific mapping focused on citizens' experiences with city services and a more proactive approach.

The motion proposes measures to simplify and improve conditions for Stockholm's visitor industry, including faster permit processing, better phone service, and a review of regulations for outdoor dining and dancing. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating that the city is already addressing these issues through ongoing assignments and collaborations with the business sector, thus deeming further measures unnecessary.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that the City Executive Board assume coordinated responsibility for developing Fagersjöviken in Magelungen into an attractive area for water recreation, such as swimming, paddling, and fishing, citing its deterioration due to overgrowth and unclear responsibilities. The City Executive Board responded that the city is already working collaboratively to improve water quality, biodiversity, and recreational opportunities in Magelungen, with Fagersjöviken being prioritized within the "Focus Farsta" initiative.

Two Liberal politicians propose that the City of Stockholm evaluate its environmental zones, including those in Gamla stan and Södermalm, to understand their impact on air quality, emissions, residents, and businesses. While older zones have been evaluated, the city plans a broader assessment of the new environmental zone class 3, encompassing effects on residents and businesses, to ensure the zones are beneficial and proportionate to any problems they might create.

The Liberals (Jan Jönsson and Åsa Nilsson Söderström) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate digital tool usage in preschools, establish clear guidelines, promote screen-free environments (except for older children with a pedagogical purpose), and support play and physical activity, citing negative impacts of excessive screen time. The city responded that the preschool curriculum, revised July 1, 2025, already emphasizes analog tools, especially for children under two, and mandates restrictive use of digital tools for clear pedagogical purposes. The City Executive Office and district committees believe the curriculum changes and ongoing support material from the National Agency for Education cover the motion's intent, advocating for preschool teachers' freedom in tool selection, with some districts having already conducted local surveys and updated guidelines.

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm map honor-based oppression in preschools to better implement measures and educate staff, citing a current lack of understanding regarding the problem's extent and clear guidelines for staff. The City Executive Board responds that the city is already addressing the issue and a national inquiry is underway, suggesting its results should be awaited before a local mapping is conducted, even as work against honor-based oppression continues.

Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) proposed that Stockholm aim to maintain parking levels at or above 2020 figures, arguing that parking facilitates daily life for many residents and contributes to a safer, more pleasant, and greener city. However, the City Executive Board and several committees rejected the motion, stating it conflicts with the city's goals to reduce car traffic by 30% by 2030, improve accessibility, and create more attractive public spaces.

A motion from Johan Nilsson (M) proposes Stockholm acquire land, possibly by exchange, to preserve the natural and cultural values of Långbro Park, specifically the Lågbron 1 property where a private owner plans twelve townhouses and a café. The motion suggests the city acquire the land to maintain the park's public character, potentially offering the owner an alternative nearby site for the housing. The City Executive Board proposes responding to the motion by referring to ongoing detailed development planning, as the Building Committee and the public have not yet received all viewpoints on the construction project.

Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposes transforming Johanneshovsvägen into a green boulevard with fewer car lanes, making space for pedestrian and bicycle paths, greenery, shops, and restaurants, along with building approximately 1045 new homes, including student housing, and a new square at Lindes light rail station. The city notes that most of these proposals are already part of ongoing projects like "Årstastråket," but the Centre Party believes their motion goes further and should also encompass the stretch between Bolidenplan and Gullmarsplan.

The Liberals propose reviewing Stockholm's land allocation policy to impose clearer social demands on developers, aiming for more affordable housing and greater involvement from the social welfare committee to address needs of vulnerable groups. However, the City Executive Office, the Land and Exploitation Committee, and Stockholm City Hall AB believe current work and the new housing supply action plan already fulfill these intentions, deeming a policy revision unnecessary.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes developing Kista into the Nordic total defense center to reverse the negative trend of businesses leaving and high vacancy rates. This involves urban development, new housing, and attracting defense-related operations and companies to Kista to create security, vitality, and jobs. The city responds that they are already actively strengthening Kista as an innovation district with a focus on defense and cybersecurity, but see no need for a new mandate or for Kista to become solely a defense center.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed allowing residents to "buy" trees planted on public land, complete with a name plaque, to fund green initiatives and increase urban greenery. However, the majority of committees advised against the proposal due to high administrative costs, legal ownership issues, and the risk of trees dying. Instead, the municipality is investing 71 million SEK in tree planting and maintenance by 2026 and developing a new tree policy.

Two SD politicians proposed that all public signs in Stockholm should primarily be in Swedish, meaning Swedish text must be at least twice the size of any other language. However, the City Executive Board and several district committees rejected the proposal, citing concerns about it violating the constitution and the need for multilingualism in an international city like Stockholm, while also noting the city's own communication already prioritizes Swedish.

Two Liberal politicians, Björn Ljung and André Nilsson, propose that the city's various policy documents, such as those for architecture and small house areas, should be better adhered to in urban development, advocating for clearer coordination between committees and regular follow-up. The City Executive Board responded that the city already works extensively with this through training and follow-ups to ensure guidelines are met, but the Liberals believe this is insufficient, particularly concerning the protection of villa areas.

Åsa Nilsson Söderström (L) proposed Stockholm establish a competence center to assist residents experiencing transnational repression from their home country's regimes, offering knowledge, support, and legal aid. The City Executive Board and district councils rejected the motion, deeming it a national matter, but the Liberal party argued it's akin to the city's existing Origo center against honor-related violence, making it a suitable municipal responsibility.

Liberal party member Jan Jönsson proposed Stockholm schools increase their use of "phonics" to improve students' reading skills, citing an international study on declining literacy. The majority in the municipal executive board and education committee agree phonics is important but not the sole method, advocating for a balanced approach with multiple techniques to ensure all students, especially those with other native languages, develop strong reading comprehension. They also voiced concerns about politicians micromanaging teachers' methodological choices.

Liberal politicians proposed consolidating all city-owned parking garages under one company, Stockholm Parkering, to streamline management. However, the City Executive Board rejected this, stating that current long-term leases already achieve the motion's goal and that transferring ownership would be legally and economically complex; the Liberals and Moderates dissented, arguing for an investigation.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the city should work to lower food prices by facilitating the establishment of more grocery stores, thereby increasing competition. This included competition analyses in new urban planning, fast-tracking building permits for food stores, and reviewing existing plans in the city center. The City of Stockholm rejected the motion, stating they already actively promote new grocery stores, partly through the "New Food Stores – Proactive Planning and Land Allocation" project. They believe existing processes are sufficient for quality assurance and a fast-track is unnecessary, also arguing that more liberal legislation could increase car traffic and weaken local city centers.

The motion proposed moving the sports break to an earlier week to increase the likelihood of snow and winter activities for schoolchildren, especially those remaining in Stockholm, due to increasingly warm and snowless Februarys during week 9. However, the City Executive Board and Education Committee advised against this, citing the lack of snow guarantee in week 6, the established and convenient timing of week 9 for families, and the potential logistical and economic challenges an alteration would create for schools, businesses, and organizations.

Two politicians from the Sweden Democrats aim to halt the construction of an LSS residential home in Lammholmen, citing concerns over unsuitable ground conditions, potential damage to an old-growth forest, and highway noise. The City of Stockholm responds by emphasizing the significant need for LSS housing and assuring that all issues regarding ground, noise, and natural values will be thoroughly investigated during the democratic and transparent planning process, affirming its commitment to the project to meet the demand for adapted housing.

Motioners propose that the City of Stockholm immediately activate a twin city agreement with Kyiv and that city administrations and companies donate unneeded equipment for Ukraine's reconstruction. The Finance Commissioner believes the city already supports Ukraine in various ways and that the agreement can be signed when the situation allows, but not immediately. The minority reserves its position, arguing the agreement should be activated now and support intensified.

Johan Nilsson (M) proposed 24/7 locking of all municipal primary and secondary schools in Stockholm to enhance security, prevent crime, and improve staff working conditions. While acknowledging the importance of locked doors, the City Executive Board noted they don't fully protect against serious violence and suggested investigating how Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) could cover the costs of lock systems to enable more schools to install them. The Moderates and Liberals support the locked school proposal, albeit with differing implementation priorities.

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 city initiatives. However, several committees, including the City Executive Office, the Social Welfare Committee, and the Education Committee, believe that extensive work is already underway and that a new, regular mapping would be too resource-intensive. They argue that the focus should instead be on strengthening ongoing efforts to develop common routines and cooperation.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that Stockholm Globe Arena Fastigheter AB, owner of several arenas, install new security solutions before the 2025 football season to prevent disturbances and match interruptions, aiming for safer football while preserving fan culture. However, the City Executive Board deemed the motion already addressed by ongoing work, noting that while technical solutions are part of safety efforts, lasting change also requires a cultural shift among supporters, with continuous work including club dialogue and preventative support.

Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposes that Stockholm sell land it owns outside the city limits, mainly in Botkyrka, Ekerö, Huddinge, Järfälla, and Nacka. This land was originally acquired for suburban development, but the Centre Party argues the city should now grow from within and no longer needs it. The majority on the Municipal Board and committees respond that the process of selling non-strategic land has been ongoing since 2007, and therefore they see no reason to issue further directives.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed a website to gather and make searchable all citizen proposals and decisions, aiming to increase transparency and help residents follow their suggestions. The City Executive Board agrees on the importance of citizen proposals for democracy and the need for improved routines, noting they are already working on clarifying information and processes, which they believe will address the motion's intent.

The Liberals propose a pilot project for installing solar panels on municipal building facades to boost local renewable energy in Stockholm. However, the city has already undertaken similar projects and finds rooftop solar panels more efficient and profitable due to lower electricity production and higher installation/maintenance costs for facade-mounted units. Despite this, the Liberals wish to continue exploring new technical solutions, believing a new pilot project can foster innovation and knowledge development for the city's future energy needs.

The Liberals proposed hiring a dedicated "environmental controller" for the major Bromma development project to ensure its environmental sustainability, overseeing tasks like ground remediation and biodiversity protection, and reporting to the City Council. However, several city departments deemed the proposal premature, citing existing efforts to form a sustainability specialist group and suggesting a sustainability strategist instead. The City Executive Board rejected the motion, though Jan Jönsson (L) dissented, arguing an environmental controller is vital for transparency and accountability in such a large undertaking.

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm hire a "contract controller" within the Traffic Administration to review and follow up on the city's agreements with external companies, aiming to reduce the risk of infrastructure projects exceeding planned costs. The Traffic Administration responds that they have already strengthened their contract follow-up work and hired a contract controller, thus believing the motion's objective is already met.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Björn Ljung (both L) propose that Stockholm develop a strategy to increase the number of allotment gardens and urban farming areas. They want the city to investigate suitable land and simplify the process for creating new plots, citing long waiting lists and high demand. The City Executive Board responds that a program for urban-proximate cultivation is already underway to address these issues, but the Liberals believe progress is too slow and want the motion approved immediately.

Council members Anette Hellström and Johan Nilsson (M) propose that the city quickly replace the Sätra recycling center, which closed at the end of 2024/2025 due to land needed for an Ellevio power grid expansion, with a new permanent or temporary facility in western Söderort. While Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB plans a mini-recycling center in Skärholmen by September 2025 and has expanded other services, Moderaterna and Liberalerna argue these solutions are insufficient, especially for garden waste, and advocate for a permanent, full-sized recycling center.

Councillor Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed that Stockholm appoint a temporary "waste ombudsman" for two years to review city expenditures in administrations and companies, identifying areas for efficiency improvements, particularly concerning non-core tasks. The City Executive Board rejected the proposal, stating that extensive financial reviews, including by the City Audit Office, already exist, and a waste ombudsman risks duplicating efforts.

The Liberals propose that Stockholm city invest more in innovative housing models, like the Kymmendö model used by Stadsmissionen, to create socially and economically sustainable homes, identifying regulatory obstacles and adapting land policy. The City Executive Board responds that the city already promotes innovative housing with new land allocation guidelines prioritizing social sustainability, but emphasizes the need for housing companies to operate commercially.

Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) proposed using lighter asphalt and pavements in Stockholm to enhance the city's appeal, reduce temperatures during heatwaves, and save energy on street lighting. Critics argue that trees and greenery are more effective against heat, and lighter asphalt could compromise traffic safety and hinder visually impaired individuals. The city council does not deem it worthwhile to investigate colored asphalt as a general measure.

The Moderates, represented by Dennis Wedin and Henrik Virro, proposed a unified Facility Management (FM) strategy to streamline building maintenance and reduce costs by coordinating services like property care, cleaning, and reception. However, the City Executive Board deemed this unnecessary, citing ongoing efforts to improve procurement and management, and expressed concern that an overly standardized approach could hinder operational flexibility.

Moderates proposed making Stockholm greener and more enjoyable by utilizing unused spaces like flat roofs, areas under bridges, and neglected quays for new mini-parks. The City Executive Board shares this ambition but believes the city is already addressing these issues through existing programs like "Greener Stockholm" and the "Quay Strategy," thus seeing no need for new mandates. While some district councils were positive about more mini-parks, most referral bodies considered the work already underway within other committees' responsibilities.

The proposers, Annika Elmlund and Johan Nilsson (M), suggested Stockholm develop an action plan to build more terraced houses and similar homes to offer greater choice, especially for families with children seeking larger homes with gardens. The City Executive Board deemed a separate action plan unnecessary, as work on creating larger and diverse housing is already underway within existing plans and budgets. However, the city emphasized the importance of counteracting segregation by blending various housing types, including terraced houses, in different areas.

Councilman Tom Hedrup (M) proposed that all Stockholm high school students should visit a university at least once before graduation to boost motivation for higher education, especially for first-generation students, and called for increased university collaboration. The city responded that high schools already partner with universities like KTH and Stockholm University, including free visits via Vetenskapens Hus, prioritizing schools with lower admission scores, and emphasized the importance of fostering motivation from elementary school. Citing these existing efforts, the motion was rejected.

Stockholm Vatten AB plans to reduce its ownership in the Himmerfjärdsverket treatment plant company, Syvab AB, from approximately 33 percent to 14 percent. This is because Stockholm Vatten will direct more wastewater to its own Henriksdal treatment plant, while Himmerfjärdsverket expands its capacity and connects the municipalities of Ekerö and Trosa. For Stockholm residents, this means the company's guarantee commitment in Syvab will decrease from SEK 860 million to SEK 225 million.

Stockholm's City Executive Board has approved plans for a new full-sized recycling center in Sätra, southwest Stockholm, at a cost of 337 million SEK. This new center, replacing the old closed one, will offer increased capacity for bulky and hazardous waste, a greater focus on reuse and education, and aims to be completed by 2031 while also helping to combat waste-related crime.

The City of Stockholm is introducing new fees for vehicle removal, storage, or scrapping, effective May 1, 2026. These fees are intended to cover the costs incurred by city contractors for handling improperly parked cars, abandoned vehicles, electric scooters, and more. While some fees will decrease, such as the immediate removal of a car to a storage lot from 4370 SEK to 3450 SEK, others will increase (e.g., bike scrapping from 150 SEK to 200 SEK), and new fees are being added for cargo bikes and pure electric vehicles.

The City of Stockholm has adopted a new action plan for Romani inclusion, valid until 2030, which aims to ensure Romani people have equal access to human rights, combat discrimination, and support those experiencing social and economic exclusion. All municipal boards and companies are responsible for implementing the plan through various measures, including increasing city employees' knowledge of Romani conditions, creating safe meeting places, and enhancing Romani people's opportunities for participation and influence in city decisions.

The City of Stockholm has adopted an action plan to strengthen the rights and opportunities for LGBTQI individuals until 2030. The plan aims to improve living conditions, especially for trans and bisexual people who face higher vulnerability, as well as those with foreign backgrounds, people of color, and individuals with disabilities. The work will focus on increasing knowledge, improving welfare and services, and enhancing participation and influence across the city's operations, including schools, social services, and public spaces.

The City of Stockholm has adopted a new action plan, effective until 2030, to strengthen the rights of Sweden's five national minorities (Jews, Roma, Sámi, Swedish Finns, and Tornedalians) and the Indigenous people, the Sámi. This plan aims to ensure these groups have full access to their rights concerning language, culture, and influence. All city committees and companies are to follow the plan, which includes increased staff knowledge, improved mother tongue education, and more meeting places.

Stockholm City Council will decide on approving the renovation and expansion of the Tensta Reservoir in Järva. This project, crucial for securing drinking water for approximately 220,000 residents in western Stockholm, involves building a new reservoir next to the existing 1969 structure, followed by its renovation, an eight-year endeavor representing a significant investment in the city's water supply.

The Stockholm City Executive Board proposes an amendment to the city's waste regulations, allowing construction and demolition waste like broken wooden chairs or plastic sleds to continue being collected alongside other bulky waste of the same material type. This change is expected to reduce transport, simplify sorting for residents, and benefit the environment.

The City of Stockholm is set to approve a new agreement with Region Stockholm and Storsthlm, clarifying who pays for assistive devices for children and young people in preschool and school. The school will be responsible for basic equipment and pedagogical aids, like adapted tables, while the Region covers personal aids, such as speech devices, to ensure children receive timely support. While the Education Administration is positive, the Preschool Administration wants the preschool perspective to be more prominent and solutions for "double prescription" (aids needed both at home and in school) to be included.

Stockholm City Council plans to establish Majroskogen in southern Stockholm as a nature reserve, aiming to protect its biodiversity of conifer forests, mountain slopes, and wetlands, while also enhancing the area for recreation and public health. The roughly 58.6-hectare reserve will feature signs, rest areas, and marked trails, though some parts will be excluded to allow for potential housing development.

The City of Stockholm plans to establish the Ålstensskogen and Storskogen nature reserves in Bromma, covering about 67.2 hectares including Solviksbadet. This proposal aims to protect the forest, its high natural values, cultural environment, and secure public access for recreation, bathing, and outdoor life. While the proposal was slightly adjusted after a minority referral, several parties (M, L, SD, C, KD) have criticized the proposed boundaries, arguing that additional areas with natural values, particularly area 25, should be included in the reserve instead of potentially being developed.

The City of Stockholm plans to invest SEK 4 billion between 2027 and 2031 to maintain and repair critical infrastructure such as streets, bridges, and traffic signals, aiming to address deferred maintenance and prevent costly breakdowns. This proposal consolidates several smaller maintenance programs for efficiency, though the opposition has raised concerns regarding reduced political control, financial risks, and the long-term financial commitment.

The City of Stockholm has adopted an action plan for an age-friendly city, aiming to ensure that older Stockholmers enjoy the same human rights as other groups in society. Based on the WHO model, the plan focuses on five areas: participation and influence, collaboration, social inclusion, housing and urban environment, and communication and information. All committees and companies are now responsible for systematically combating ageism and improving the quality of life for older residents.

Stockholm City Council is set to approve a revised plan for the renovation and expansion of Lillholmsskolan in Skärholmen, providing the school with new premises and a sports hall at an estimated total cost of SEK 461.7 million. This project will replace temporary classrooms and create more places for special needs education, though some students will temporarily relocate to Vårbergsskolan during construction. The council believes this is a beneficial temporary solution for both the school and local sports.

The City of Stockholm is launching a new child health program to provide all children aged 1-6 with improved and more equitable conditions for physical, psychological, and social health. This program will guide city departments and companies in their work to promote, prevent, and include, with a particular focus on the role of preschools. While revised after feedback, the opposition still sees shortcomings, notably regarding the emphasis on children's motor development and the effects of digitalization.

This detailed development plan enables the construction of approximately 320 new homes, a preschool, and new commercial services in Mariehäll, Stockholm. It also aims to create a new park, gathering places, and improved pedestrian paths, though it requires the demolition of the yellow-classified building Hingsten 1, a decision deemed necessary to meet the demand for housing and social infrastructure despite public engagement.

The Stockholm City Council will decide on a detailed plan for Vitsenapen 1 and others in Smedshagen, Hässelby villastad. This plan aims to build about 500 new homes – including rental apartments, tenant-owner apartments, and townhouses – along with new parking and services, primarily on existing parking lots to preserve green spaces. The revised plan clarifies cloudburst measures and the environmental assessment, but these changes do not fundamentally alter the proposal.

Stockholm's City Executive Board has approved a plan for approximately 320 new homes, a preschool, commercial spaces, and new park areas in Mariehäll, near Bällstavägen. A portion of the land will be sold to Peab Bostad AB for SEK 126.7 million, who will construct 158 homes, including a group home and a preschool. The city's costs for street and park development are estimated at SEK 132.2 million, with an anticipated profit of SEK 28 million.

Stockholm City Council is set to decide on a development in Smedshagen, Hässelby Villastad, allowing for around 500 new homes, service premises, and new parking. While mostly on private land owned by Wallfast AB subsidiaries, the project also involves the city selling some land and recouping 93% of its public space costs. Critics, including the Sweden Democrats and Christian Democrats, express concern over the densification of natural areas, increased segregation, traffic issues, and the impact on green spaces and existing allotments.

Stockholm City Council is set to approve a new theme playground in southern Spångadalen, between Tensta, Rinkeby, and Bromsten, estimated to cost 84.7 million SEK to build and 1.2 million SEK annually to operate. The park, themed "Time Travel – from Sea to Home" with playful historical elements, aims to be an intergenerational meeting point, connect the districts, and boost the area's attractiveness for future housing. The Moderates, Liberals, Christian Democrats, and Sweden Democrats oppose the proposal due to its high cost and call for the matter to be sent back for cost reduction, deeming it an irresponsible use of taxpayer money.

The Stadshagen urban development project in Västra Kungsholmen, aiming to create approximately 1,800 new homes, streets, squares, and parks, is being revised. The previously planned primary school is removed due to decreased need; instead, two 11-a-side pitches are planned at Stadshagens IP and a 7-a-side pitch at Tranebergsängen, thus preserving Fredhällsparken and Kristinebergs strandpark from development. Project costs have now increased to 1,163.8 million SEK.

The City of Stockholm plans to sell part of the Farsta 2:1 property to AB Borätt for the construction of 137 tenant-owner apartments in three high-rises along Lingvägen, bordering Farsta and Hökarängen. This project, named Samsö, also allows for the expansion of Kvickentorpsskolan and a new preschool, along with a new street and improved pedestrian and bicycle path. The Sweden Democrats formally object to the decision, proposing instead that the area be used for a football field.

Stockholm City Council is set to approve the ongoing Marievik project in Liljeholmen, which includes roughly 960 new homes, 27,000 sqm of commercial space, and new streets, parks, quays, and a quay bath. The city will assume responsibility for these public areas free of charge, though operations and maintenance are estimated at SEK 21 million annually. The quay bath opened in 2025, with the entire area projected for completion in 2031.

The City of Stockholm has approved a change of contractor for two properties in Primusparken, Lilla Essingen, where approximately 550 new homes, a nursing home, and a preschool are planned. Klövern AB will take over from Wästbygg Projektutveckling AB for parts of the project, including around 90 apartments, becoming the new guarantor for the agreements with the city, which has assessed Klövern AB's capability to complete its portion of the construction.

The City Council proposes revoking the overarching decision for Fokus Skärholmen, a major urban development project with 7,200 planned homes, due to difficulties in project follow-up amid significant changes and new additions. Instead, follow-up will occur at the project level for four new initiatives: Ålgrytevägen, Kråksätra, Östra Bredäng, and Sätra centrum. While Ålgrytevägen (900 homes, camping development) is deemed profitable and receives its own directive, Kråksätra, Östra Bredäng (740 homes), and Sätra centrum (new district center and homes) are considered less profitable but essential for the area's development and are approved for continued planning. The City Executive Office acknowledges the project's positive potential but highlights the financial demands of its low profitability, while Liberals and Christian Democrats criticize the current administration for stalled projects, worsened finances, and advocate for increased profitability and more ownership-based housing to avoid city debt.

The City of Stockholm's Disability Ombudsman submitted the 2025 report to the City Council, detailing challenges and successes in ensuring full participation for people with disabilities, based on the UN's review of Sweden's Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. While the majority of the City Executive Board recommends approving the report, several opposition parties, including the Moderates and Centre Party, have dissented, criticizing its insufficient focus on issues like school transport for disabled children, out-of-hours care, and economic vulnerability, proposing an external review of school transport and concrete action to address identified shortcomings.

Stockholm City Council will decide on implementing a 24/7 alcohol ban at the intersection of Fleminggatan/Sankt Eriksgatan on Kungsholmen, aiming to improve safety and reduce litter, vandalism, and conflicts in an area classified as an open drug scene since 2017. While some parties argue the ban risks being a symbolic gesture without sufficient security personnel, others believe it restricts open city life and prefer alternative safety measures.

The Board of Stockholm Port Company Ltd. approved a letter of intent outlining principles for vessel traffic at Värtapiren and Frihamnspiren, land use in southern Norra Djurgårdsstaden, and land transfer and electrification of Frihamnspiren. This decision prioritizes port operations at Värtapiren and urban development with housing around Frihamnspiren. The agreement also aims to reduce emissions and improve air quality through enhanced shore power supply.

The Ministry of Justice has issued proposals for reforming Sweden's ballot system. The Stockholm Election Board has commented on these proposals. They suggest, among other things, abolishing party ballots without candidate names and giving the Election Authority sole responsibility for distributing ballots to polling stations. The proposal also introduces new requirements for parties to participate with candidate ballots, such as collecting support declarations from voters. The Election Board supports the proposals to implement requirements for parties to participate with candidate ballots and for a candidate to only stand for election to council in one region and one municipality.

The Election Board proposes its budget for 2027, with plans for 2028 and 2029, to the Municipal Board. Preparations for the 2029 European Parliament elections and the 2030 parliamentary elections involve introducing digital ballot papers and digital voter registers, as well as the municipality taking over responsibility for ballots. This will lead to increased costs for data systems, storage facilities, and staff, among other things, to ensure high security and accessibility for all voters in Stockholm.
