The administration plans to hold its next meeting at one of its facilities on June 16, and will participate in Järvaveckan with a focus on public health for younger children, as well as promoting swimming ability at Rinkeby Square on June 6.

At the meeting, several other questions were raised, including Anna Cederschiöld Stuart (M) inquiring when the Neptun association would receive autumn swimming schedules, to which the department head replied that the association's allocation is based on membership numbers and the department would follow up. Roine Löfgren (SD) also asked about new outdoor gym equipment in Högdalen, and the department head stated this was the district's responsibility and the department would investigate.

The Sports Committee approved the administration's report in response to a letter from Mikael Peterson (C), Hanna Wistrand (L), and Anna Cederschiöld et al. (M). The letter concerned the development of Östra Hagastaden and Haga Bollplan, and the committee adopted the response to the politicians who raised the issue.

The Sports Committee approved the administration's response regarding the allocation of times in the city's swimming pools. However, several politicians from the Centre, Liberal, and Moderate parties issued a separate statement, finding the response insufficient in detailing how the most desirable swimming times are distributed or whether the city's own swimming school operations are prioritized. They believe the administration should provide a supplementary report.

The Sports Committee decided that the Sports Administration should commission the development of documents for constructing a 7-a-side artificial turf pitch, school athletics areas, and a toilet building at Johannesdal BP in Vårberg. This is considered a replacement investment and a revised policy decision. The committee also approved the estimated rental cost for the project.

The Sports Committee approved a project directive for the renovation and adaptation of Sandsborgsbadet at Dalen 20. The committee also tasked the administration with commissioning background material for a future policy decision from the Real Estate Committee, which is estimated to cost up to 8 million SEK in investigation expenses.

The Sports Committee decided to grant 572,000 SEK in support to Mossen Hockey AB for the year 2026, aligning with the administration's proposal. One committee member did not participate due to a conflict of interest.

The Sports Committee approved its first quarterly report for 2026, including the annual forecast, and forwarded it to the City Executive Board. While many goals were met, the opposition (M, C, L, SD) strongly criticized the continued low capacity of the city's sports facilities, delayed investments, and a tight operating budget, arguing that the lack of facilities and reduced revenue from closed swimming pools were not adequately reflected in the current financial planning.

The Real Estate Committee approved the direction and continued planning for a new 7-a-side artificial turf pitch, school athletics areas, and a toilet building at Johannesdal sports ground in Vårberg. This decision aims to replace existing sports areas claimed for other development. The Moderates and Liberals reserved themselves against the decision, arguing that the sports area should be a full-fledged 11-a-side pitch and requesting a clearer impact analysis of the plan's reduced size.

The Property Committee approved a status report for the construction of the Gränsberget sports hall in Kärrtorp, which will feature bleachers, eight changing rooms, and a café to benefit local schools and associations. However, the Moderates and Liberals expressed concern in a separate statement about a one-year delay in the timeline, pushing completion to late 2027, as well as the need for better cost control and clearer handling of building permits and agreements.

The Property Committee approved a status report for the construction of Bäverdalen Sports Hall in Rågsved, part of the Älvsjö 1:1 property. However, the Moderates and Liberals issued a separate statement expressing concern over the project's delay from a Q3 2026 completion to Q4 2027, along with budget overruns necessitating a new procurement process. They stressed the importance of cost control, clear follow-up, and transparency for future sports hall projects.

The Real Estate Committee approved a status report for the construction of the new Akalla Sports Hall in the Järva area. While welcoming the hall, the Moderates and Liberals expressed concern over a six-month delay, pushing completion from Q1 2027 to December 2027 due to a contractor change. They demanded clearer follow-up on the timeline, cost risks, and flexibility for additional sports, emphasizing good accessibility and social functions like cafés to create a safe and vibrant meeting place.

The Real Estate Committee approved a project directive and tasked the Real Estate Department with investigating the conditions for renovating and adapting Sandsborgsbadet at Dalen 20. This investigation, estimated to cost up to 8 million SEK, will form the basis for a future policy decision. The Liberals issued a separate statement emphasizing the importance of considering locally produced energy sources like solar panels and geothermal heating, as well as green roofs, while respecting the building's cultural heritage classification.

The Real Estate Committee approved the Real Estate Department's statement responding to a letter about the renovation of Eggeby stable. The Liberals, through Hansi Karppinen, thanked them for the answer but stressed the importance of ensuring the stable's continued operation and exploring all possibilities for long-term sustainable management, even independently of any expansion plans, given the stable's significance as a meeting place in Järva.

The Real Estate Committee approved the office's first interim report for 2026, which detailed financial developments. The committee also approved a budget adjustment of SEK 2.0 million for increased costs. Members from the Moderate and Liberal parties dissented, proposing that the office present an action plan for vacant premises and non-activatable expenses in the next report, among other things.

The Real Estate Committee noted the minutes from the Council for Disability Issues meetings on March 18 and April 15, 2026. This signifies the committee reviewed information and discussions concerning disability matters from these two previous meetings, without making any new decisions on the matter.

The Labor Market Committee approved a report on the "District Sisters" pilot project, which aimed to empower young women with immigrant backgrounds and improve their chances for employment or studies. The project, which ran from 2024–2025 in Järva and Skärholmen with six employed District Sisters, showed positive results regarding the sisters' personal development and ability to reach the target group. The committee noted the report, taking no new action but identifying areas for improvement should the project be implemented again.

The Labour Market Committee approved an evaluation report on a pilot project that extended employment for "stadsdelsmammor" (neighbourhood mothers) from one year to two. The report showed that the longer employment period significantly boosted their personal and professional development, improved their language and digital skills, and increased their chances of entering the labour market, while also providing greater security and continuity for residents in their working areas.

The Labour Market Committee decided against launching its own investigation into shortage occupations in Stockholm, as proposed by member Christina Tufvesson (L). The administration believes it already has sufficient data from various sources and that collaboration with other actors is more crucial. While the Liberals sought a Stockholm-specific analysis with concrete measures, the committee voted for the administration's proposal, with Christina Tufvesson dissenting.

The Labor Market Committee reviewed a letter from Johan Kling (C) regarding the impact of "competence expulsions" on Stockholm's labor supply. The administration stated they lacked sufficient data to analyze the effects on businesses and Stockholm's competitiveness due to unavailable statistics. The committee unanimously decided to refer to the administration's statement as its response, despite the Center Party's concerns about unanswered questions and the government's new wage floor potentially worsening the situation.

The Liberals proposed a new industry council for Stockholm to coordinate labor market issues with businesses, unions, and educators. However, the Labor Market Administration found existing regional councils, like Kompetensarena Stockholm, already fulfill the city's needs and saw no need for a new one. While the committee approved the administration's assessment, the administration noted a need for city-wide collaboration forums for skills provision in elderly care, preschools, and disability services.

The Labor Market Committee decided to refer to the administration's statement in response to a letter from Christina Tufvesson (L) regarding the launch of a pilot program. Tufvesson proposed engaging civil society to offer guidance, mentorship, and internships for young people to facilitate their entry into the workforce. The administration noted they already conduct similar initiatives for youth and collaborate with civil society, but currently lack a mandate to investigate such a specific pilot program.

The Labour Market Committee approved the Guidance Unit's participation in the 2026 Quality Award. This award aims to encourage systematic quality work and long-term sustainable development within the city, as well as to highlight good examples. The Guidance Unit is part of Adult Education Stockholm.

The Labour Market Committee unanimously decided to approve the relocation of Jobbtorg sydväst to new premises at Bodholmsgången 7 in Skärholmen centre. This move from Ekholmsvägen 34 will provide more suitable, accessible premises that are better adapted to the centre's operations and target group, and will also save approximately 400,000 SEK annually.

The Labor Market Committee approved its first tertial report for 2026, indicating progress in getting more Stockholm residents into work and studies, with increased enrollment at Jobbtorg Stockholm and improved adult education results. The committee also requested budget adjustments totaling 196.4 million SEK for increased state grants for refugee reception and the National Agency for Education, and decided to change a target value for labor law conditions in procurements. Members from the Center Party, Moderates, and Liberals acknowledged the administration but highlighted persistent high unemployment, the need for more focus on theoretical subjects in adult education, and a deeper analysis of the increase in in-house adult education.

The Labor Market Committee reviewed the City Auditors' Annual Report for 2025 and concluded that the committee's operations have largely been conducted in an appropriate and economically satisfactory manner. However, the auditors noted some areas for development, particularly regarding contract follow-up, systematic work environment efforts, and payroll management. The committee decided to refer to the administration's statement as its opinion and agreed to take action according to the auditors' recommendations.

The Labor Market Committee has decided to award the 2026 Nelson Mandela Prize to FoC Farsta Football Club. The prize, established in 1998, recognizes the best contribution to integration in Stockholm, aiming to highlight good initiatives that foster connections between new and established Stockholm residents.

The Real Estate Department and the Sports Administration have submitted a consultation statement regarding a new detailed plan for Högdalstopparna. While they are positive about the area being designated for outdoor recreation and allotments, they request larger areas for sports to develop the popular BMX activities. The departments believe the current proposal limits the facility's function and future development, especially given its status as a national resource.

At the meeting, City Commissioner for Traffic Lars Strömgren (MP) responded to an interpellation from Therese Lindström (M) regarding traffic problems in southern Stockholm. Commissioner Strömgren provided an answer to the question Lindström had previously posed and which the City Council had approved for submission.

The City Council is poised to approve plans to convert Building C at Fruängsgården 1 in Fruängen into a larger care home with 97 apartments, replacing the existing 41-unit service house which will be phased out due to decreased demand. This renovation, expected to run from 2030 to 2031, aims to address the city's growing need for care facilities, with current residents being relocated during construction.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve the renovation and conversion of Trehörningen 1 in Gröndal, currently Trekanten service house with 100 apartments, into a nursing and care home with 92 apartments. This will take place between 2027 and 2030, as the service house is being phased out due to extensive renovation needs and an increased demand for nursing and care places. Current residents will be offered priority for other housing options.

The City Executive Board is set to review a proposal from Micasa Fastigheter and the Skarpnäck District Council to construct a new care home in Bergholmsbacken, Bagarmossen. This extensive project, with an estimated investment exceeding 300 million SEK, will feature 80 apartments for the elderly, along with facilities for day activities and a senior meeting point, and will also require approval from the City Council.

The City Council is set to consider approving Familjebostäder AB's renovation of 178 homes and twelve commercial premises in the Draget 1 property on Södermalm. This 434-million-kronor project is necessary as the building's plumbing, electricity, and elevators, dating back to 1924, have reached the end of their technical lifespan. Existing tenants will be temporarily relocated during construction and will then have the option to choose from three different kitchen renovation levels, with some components potentially being reused.

The City Council is set to decide on the direction for the New Husbybadet project. The current Husbybadet will be demolished due to construction defects and replaced with a new, modern facility on the Bislet 1 property, next to the existing bath. The new complex, featuring a 25-meter pool, two teaching pools, and an adventure bath, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2031, with the existing bath remaining operational for most of the construction period.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council authorizes the Traffic Committee to undertake a major renovation of the western Liljeholmsbron, the older of the Liljeholm bridges. This project aims to extend the bridge's lifespan by 60 years and increase its load-bearing capacity from BK2 to BK4. Following renovation, scheduled from 2029 to 2032, the bridge will feature two southbound lanes, a two-way cycle path, and a two-way pedestrian path, all designed to accommodate heavy traffic flows and buses, though construction will cause traffic diversions and longer travel times.

The City Council is set to decide on renovating and adapting the former Kämpingeskolan in Tensta into a new administrative office for the Järva city district administration, aiming to consolidate approximately 640 employees by late 2028. However, critics from the Moderates and Liberals argue this is an expensive and ill-conceived plan that risks displacing resources, proposing instead to sell the property or utilize existing premises.

The City Council will consider Stockholm's child health program, intended to reduce inequalities in children's living conditions and promote the physical, mental, and social well-being of 1-6 year olds. The matter was previously referred back on April 13, 2026, with criticism that it overemphasized preschools and needed to clarify expectations for other administrations, include scientific research, and address environmental aspects. The City Executive Board now proposes approval of the program as is, deeming it sufficiently meets the purpose of providing a comprehensive direction for the health of the youngest children.

The board of Stockholm City Hall AB has decided to propose that the Municipal Council lift the swimming ban at nine locations in central Stockholm and in approved swimming structures. This means it will be permitted to swim at places like Norra and Södra Djurgården (except Ålkistan), parts of Årstaviken, Marievikskajen, northern Reimersholme, southern Lilla Essingen and Luxviken, Gröndal, and southern Skeppsholmen. The decision aims to make more places accessible for swimming for Stockholmers, although the Centre Party, through Jonas Naddebo, issued a reservation and proposed a general swimming permit with exceptions instead of gradually abolishing the ban at specific locations.

Councilor Andréa Hedin (M) is questioning Councilor Alexander Ojanne (S) regarding care interventions for children and young people, highlighting serious deficiencies in the care of placed children as identified by IVO and city audits. Stockholm provides fewer interventions per child and more open interventions compared to Gothenburg and Malmö, leading to questions about the impact on comprehensive support and the implications of the new Social Services Act.

Liberal Party members propose creating "culture sound zones" in Stockholm, for example in the Slakthusområdet, to protect the city's cultural and nightlife. These zones would permit higher noise levels during evenings and nights to support clubs and concerts, especially when new housing is developed. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, arguing that current legislation (the Environmental Code) does not allow individual municipalities to implement such zones and that the city is already addressing the issue through other means.

The City Council is recommended to approve the digitalization of map appendices for Stockholm Municipality's general local order regulations, aiming to make the rules clearer and more accessible for residents. Additionally, an amendment is proposed to extend the requirement to pick up dog waste city-wide, rather than just in the inner city, and the appendix regarding the prohibition of nitrous oxide abuse will also be digitized.

Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) has directed an interpellation to Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren, urging an increase in the availability of saunas and baths in Stockholm. Naddebo argues that despite ambitions to establish Stockholm as a sauna city, the city's approach has become more bureaucratic, resulting in fewer saunas rather than more. He seeks to understand how the Commissioner intends to simplify regulations and ensure the city's objective of developing Stockholm as a sauna and bathing destination is met.

Per Rosencrantz (M) questioned Emilia Bjuggren (S), Commissioner for Education, Labour Market, and Schools, about how the city addresses declining birth rates and an aging population, and how this impacts school, housing, and labour market planning, particularly given the cancellation of a school in Hagastaden. Commissioner Bjuggren responded that the city closely monitors demographic trends, which influence budget and planning, including reallocating costs for empty school premises. She stressed the city's need to alleviate housing shortages and be an attractive employer with affordable housing for common professional groups, highlighting Stockholm's low municipal tax.

Moderate politician Andréa Hedin questioned City Commissioner for Schools Emilia Bjuggren (S) on the slow implementation of social media restrictions in Stockholm schools, stressing the need for immediate, clear action to ensure a focused learning environment and questioning the targeted approach and lack of out-of-class restrictions. Bjuggren responded that a filter for social media and inappropriate websites on school devices is prioritized for the autumn term, with the administration still investigating differentiated restrictions for different age groups, but with the baseline that social media should not be accessible during school hours and also examining 24/7 blocking.

Dennis Wedin (M) has submitted an interpellation to Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding the handling of approximately 10,000 closed reports via the City of Stockholm's "Tyck till" app. These reports primarily concerned the deficient snow removal in January that paralyzed the city. Wedin seeks to understand the lessons learned, whether lowered expectations are part of the strategy, and the contents of those 10,000 reports.

Dennis Wedin (M) questioned Jan Valeskog (S), Commissioner for Urban Planning and Sport, regarding the uncertain future of Hovet arena and Djurgården Hockey's proposed arena in Tallkrogen. Wedin criticized the city's lack of clarity on Hovet's demolition and the failure to extend the land allocation for the Tallkrogen project, which has halted Djurgården's planned investment. Valeskog (S) responded that a review of urban development plans in the Globen area is underway to explore keeping an ice arena there, and while no request for an extension for Tallkrogen has been received, the site is still considered suitable for sports.

Annika Elmlund (M) questioned the Commissioner for the Elderly and Culture, Torun Boucher (V), regarding the requirements for cinemas receiving financial support from the City of Stockholm, after Biograf Zita displayed messages Elmlund interpreted as antisemitic and took a stance against Israel. Boucher responded that the city does not support activities violating democratic conditions or Swedish law, but emphasized artistic freedom and the arm's length principle, seeing no reason to revise cultural support guidelines.

Dennis Wedin (M) questioned traffic commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) on why Stockholm does not measure and publicize ice thickness at popular locations, arguing it would enhance safety. Strömgren responded that the city promotes ice safety through campaigns, but irregular ice conditions due to boat traffic and currents make measurements potentially misleading. He concluded that the city therefore has no plans for regular ice thickness monitoring and publication.

Emelie Wassermann (SD) questioned City Planning and Sports Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) regarding Svedmyrabadet's closure since autumn 2024, with no decision on renovation or replacement. She highlighted that Sandsborgsbadet, proposed as an alternative, is now also slated for lengthy renovation, impacting residents in southern Stockholm dependent on these pools. The Commissioner stated an investigation into Svedmyrabadet's future will be presented in the first half of 2026, and while Sandsborgsbadet currently offers warmer water and better accessibility, it too will require future closure for renovation.

Dennis Wedin (M) has interpellated Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding resuming the investigation into decking over Nynäsvägen, which runs through Gamla Enskede and Johanneshov, citing noise and pollution. Wedin questioned why an earlier investigation was halted without a full cost analysis. Strömgren responded that detailed calculations for several scenarios showed a deck-over to be unfinanceable, leading to the work's termination, and stated that the city's investments in walking, cycling, and public transport aim to reduce car traffic and improve the environment along Nynäsvägen.

Councillor Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned the Climate and Environment Commissioner, Åsa Lindhagen (MP), regarding lost environmental values due to urban densification, citing Myrberget in Bromma as an example where the majority's housing policy threatens green spaces and recreational opportunities. Lindhagen responded that the Red-Green majority prioritizes protecting natural areas, establishing nature reserves, and increasing greenery while acknowledging the need for new housing, particularly on hardened ground. She noted that the Moderates had supported the land allocation for the Tranebergsvägen project, which includes 60 rental units, six of which are LSS housing.

Councillor Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned Jan Valeskog (S), Commissioner for Urban Development and Sport, about "secret" building plans at Ålstensskogen and Storskogen, expressing concern that a large green space was excluded from theigned nature reserve, potentially leading to large-scale development. Valeskog responded that the Municipal Council will decide on establishing the Ålstensskogen–Storskogen nature reserve, and the Exploitation Committee has designated land for approximately 50 Stockholmshus rental apartments in Ålsten 1:1, aiming to diversify housing options in southern Bromma.

Andréa Hedin (M) questioned Social and Security Commissioner Alexander Ojanne (S) regarding the evaluation of the Skolsociala team plus (SST+) project. Hedin highlighted the project's success in helping students with high absenteeism but also noted implementation issues, such as only 28 of 60 places being filled, and sought the Commissioner's view on this, future development plans, and a timeline for city-wide access. Alexander Ojanne (S) responded that SST and SST+ methods would be integrated into a cohesive school-social support chain, with a new model currently being piloted in two districts, to be evaluated in summer 2026 before wider implementation, while existing SST teams are simultaneously reinforced in non-pilot districts.

Kristin Jacobsson (Centre Party) questioned Elder and Culture Commissioner Torun Boucher (Left Party) about residents at Micasa's senior housing Väduren no longer being allowed an after-dinner drink with coffee at self-organized Thursday get-togethers. The Centre Party views this as unnecessary paternalism that hinders a valued social activity for adults. Torun Boucher responded that the city adheres to alcohol laws, requiring a serving permit if the district administration organizes the event, but a solution has been found: residents can continue their "cognac fika" by organizing it themselves in the common room, without the city as organizer. This solution respects both the law and residents' wishes.

Tom Hedrup (M) questioned Housing Commissioner Deniz Butros (V) about the rising debt of municipal housing companies, currently around SEK 36 billion, with annual interest costs of SEK 1 billion, fearing it would displace welfare investments. He inquired about future debt projections, reduction plans, potential property sales, and the risk to the city's credit rating. Butros responded that the housing companies are well-managed and financially strong, confirming the city's stable AAA/A-1+ credit rating and stating no negative impact is expected from the housing companies. She emphasized that the majority will not sell properties, but instead protect and expand the housing stock, with new projects self-financing and not burdening taxpayers, also suggesting government support like reintroducing investment grants.

Moderaterna's Johan Paccamonti questioned Housing Commissioner Deniz Butros (V) on Stockholm's housing policy, challenging the proposal to densify villa areas with multi-family houses and build more rental apartments in co-op areas, arguing this threatens green spaces and ignores residents' desires for villas. Butros responded that the city aims for mixed development to combat segregation and inequality, build homes for average incomes, and simultaneously strengthen nature protection through new nature reserves.

Liberal councillors Jan Jönsson and André Nilsson propose that the city investigate opening up the Stockholmshusen model to more actors, including private property developers, to increase construction speed, cost-efficiency, and diversity in the housing market. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered, stating that increased competition has already been introduced through a dynamic purchasing system, which has expanded the number of qualified contractors from three to twelve.

Councillor Sara Svanström (L) proposed mapping dangerous pedestrian crossings in Stockholm, establishing a priority order, and implementing measures to ensure safe crossings, especially for pedestrians and people with disabilities. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating that the Traffic Committee is already addressing similar issues, a response criticized by the Liberals who argue the work needs to be more systematic and expedited.

The Liberals propose the city create a digital map function to facilitate trade in Stockholm by streamlining deliveries, providing businesses and transporters real-time overview of loading zones, roadworks, and traffic disruptions. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating the city already addresses these issues broadly and offers similar information through existing platforms like trafiken.nu and open data.

A motion by Jan Jönsson (L) proposed equipping all Stockholm schools with shower stalls, citing concerns that many students avoid showering after sports due to feeling unsafe and lacking privacy in changing rooms, impacting their well-being and participation. The City Executive Board suggests responding by noting that the Education Committee is already reviewing how to make showers and changing rooms safer, with shower stalls being one potential solution.

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm develop a strategy to keep rents for community halls, association premises, and community centers at a low and sustainable level, ensuring good operating conditions for non-profit organizations and civil society. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating that the city is already addressing the issue, including through an investigation into the Culture Committee acting as a primary tenant.

Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed that the City of Stockholm establish a long-distance shooting range for hunters and to strengthen preparedness. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, deeming it difficult to find a suitable location in Stockholm due to high demands on land area and safety distances, as well as noise impact and competition with other land-use interests like housing and recreational areas.

A motion has been put forth to protect Carl Bonde's Forest in Hässelby from development and designate it as a municipal nature reserve, driven by residents' concerns over potential construction on the recreational area. However, the City Executive Board proposes addressing the motion by referring to ongoing work on a new comprehensive plan and a policy for natural area protection, thus declining to exempt the forest from development at this time.

A motion proposes that the City of Stockholm LGBTQ+ certify home care services and collaborate with interest organizations to improve the treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals in elder care. This aims to ensure homes are safe spaces where no one needs to hide their identity, addressing reports of inadequate treatment and concerns among older LGBTQ+ individuals about receiving home care.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate the possibility of constructing floating football pitches. While various committees and companies found the idea interesting and potentially complementary to existing sports facilities, they highlighted significant practical challenges regarding cost, location, and environmental impact. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered by referring to this statement, meaning no specific directive will be issued to further investigate floating football pitches.

The Liberals proposed an inquiry into improving and simplifying conditions for Stockholm's associations, aiming for the city to have Sweden's best association climate by mapping existing hurdles. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting this motion, stating similar work is already underway, including a new association policy for 2026.

Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposed a pilot project for a citizen-led budget, allowing residents to decide on the use of a portion of municipal funds, with an evaluation after two years. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that the city already has an established citizen budgeting process, having completed 17 such projects between 2023–2025.

Annika Elmlund and Christoffer Hökmark (M) propose establishing "safety kiosks" in Stockholm, inspired by satellite police stations in Tokyo and Frankfurt, to create manned hubs for security guards, field assistants, and other safety professionals, aiming to boost local security and make it easier for residents to seek help. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that existing collaborative models and mobile initiatives already function well, and there is no general need for stationary safety kiosks.

Liliane Åkerlund (SD) has proposed year-round use of the Rålambshovsparken amphitheater for spontaneous sports, such as a combined dance floor and ice rink. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that the Kungsholmen City District Council already uses the amphitheater's gravel area as a dance floor and for ice skating when weather permits, with plans to continue these activities.

Councillor Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm make it easier for political youth organizations to visit schools by developing guidelines and support materials, encouraging invitations, and ensuring safety. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that support materials already exist and principals are responsible for deciding which political organizations can visit their schools according to the Education Act.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed implementing a data system in Stockholm that would alert if a student is withdrawn from a school without being enrolled in a new one, along with a block preventing withdrawal until a new school is registered. This aims to detect and prevent children from being abducted or subjected to honor-related oppression. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating that the city is already actively addressing these issues and that a national system would be more effective.

Liberal Party members propose developing Piazza Odenplan and exploring a partial closure of Upplandsgatan to traffic, aiming to create a more vibrant, safe, and attractive square with greenery, market stalls, and outdoor seating. The City Executive Board suggests responding that a major development can only occur after the Roslagsbanan extension to the city is complete, but the Traffic Administration Office plans to add more greenery and flowers to the square by summer 2026.

Liberal Party members have proposed increasing Stockholm's summer pedestrian streets and squares, ensuring public transport accessibility, and engaging with residents and businesses during planning. The City Executive Board suggests responding by noting the city already expands these spaces, with dialogue and public transport considerations integrated into the process. For instance, 9 new locations are planned for summer 2026, bringing the total to 64.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed that the City of Stockholm develop a stroke awareness campaign for public advertising spaces, to educate people on how to recognize and respond to stroke. The City Executive Board suggests responding by noting that Region Stockholm is primarily responsible for healthcare, but the city can offer its communication channels if the region requests assistance.

Center Party representatives Claes Nyberg and Kristin Jacobsson proposed a program to detect mental illness in children and young people within compulsory school, specifically through mandatory discussions with school counselors for seventh graders during regular health check-ups. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting this motion, citing ongoing work within student health services that already addresses its aims.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed a motion to increase the city's work with green roofs, making them standard for new city-built constructions, inventorying municipal properties for installations, and developing a strategy to support property owners. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the city already addresses similar issues and emphasizes a holistic view of sustainable solutions rather than singling out green roofs as a universal fix.

Center Party members propose that the City of Stockholm introduce interactive real-time maps showing ongoing snow removal efforts, with this information also made available as open data via an API. This aims to help residents, especially pedestrians, cyclists, the elderly, and those with disabilities, plan safer winter routes. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be addressed by referring to the statement, which cites concerns about information ownership, the work environment for snow removal staff, and the need to first investigate and clarify overall snow removal responsibilities.

Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed an investigation into developing Högdalstopparna into an attractive outdoor recreation area with improved accessibility, including expanded public transport. The City Executive Office and relevant committees responded that similar work is already underway, including a detailed development plan for the area, and that public transport is primarily a regional matter. They therefore recommend responding to the motion by referring to this ongoing work.

Claes Nyberg and Ismail Ali (both Centre Party) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate establishing a language school for students in grades F-3 with severe language disorders, building on existing language preschools with tailored pedagogy and speech therapy support. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, deeming current support measures, such as a language disorder competence hub and staff training, sufficient within regular school operations.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed Stockholm create an action plan to support "grey-zone children" – students who don't qualify for adapted schooling but struggle in compulsory and upper secondary school due to cognitive abilities, risking dropping out. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the city already has structured support for students with special needs and deems a new action plan unnecessary.

Leif Söderström (SD) has proposed widening Klarastrandsleden to three lanes, including a reversible middle lane, to alleviate congestion and improve traffic flow. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting this motion, as the red-green majority disagrees that more car lanes are the solution to congestion, and the traffic administration believes an extra lane would not significantly improve accessibility.

Councillor Andréa Hedin (M) proposed replacing 1,000 summer jobs in 2026 with year-long "SAO jobs" for secondary school students, combining study with work to provide more long-term experience. The City Executive Board recommends addressing the motion by noting that pilot SAO jobs are already budgeted, but advises against reducing summer jobs, as SAO jobs and summer jobs serve different target groups and purposes.

Jonas Naddebo and Claes Nyberg (Centre Party) proposed that the city investigate and implement measures to create secondary school places in northern Bromma, arguing that the long commute for current students violates the Education Act and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that the need for secondary school places is already met and the student population in Bromma is expected to decrease.

Hanna Werner (M) proposed that the Real Estate Committee investigate the condition of the vacant Vanadis Hotel and, with the Sports Committee, explore alternative uses for the building, unconstrained by the current zoning plan. The City Executive Board responded that such work is already underway, with the Real Estate and Sports Committees investigating renovation and development for sports purposes, such as locker rooms and halls for activities like table tennis or dance.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the city investigate ways to limit the number of gymnasium school changes during the academic year, arguing that frequent, vaguely-motivated transfers disrupt order, reduce study calm, and complicate school planning. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion due to a lack of legal basis for such restrictions and the difficulty of reaching a voluntary agreement with regional municipalities and independent schools.

Liberals propose investigating Fagersjöskogen in Söderort to become a nature reserve, citing its ecological value, biodiversity, and recreational benefits. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, as there is already an ongoing budget assignment to explore the prerequisites for a nature reserve in Fagersjöskogen.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed that the Culture Committee investigate continuous large-screen projections on the City Hall from November to March, similar to Nobel Week Lights. However, the City Executive Board advises against this, as the City Management Office, Culture Committee, and Stockholm City Hall AB deem a permanent installation unsuitable due to the City Hall's high cultural value and significant costs.

The Liberals have submitted a motion to the municipal council proposing that the City of Stockholm develop a strategy to promote sustainable construction, with a focus on wood and other low-impact materials, and that the city's land allocation policy be revised to prioritize such projects. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the existing Climate Action Plan 2030 and Environmental Program 2030 already provide a comprehensive strategy, and a new one risks creating confusion.

Jonas Naddebo (C) submitted a motion to the municipal council proposing to transform Södertäljevägen into a vibrant city street with more housing, including covering Södertäljevägen, Essingeleden, and the bus depot to build up to 7,700 homes. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that the existing planning program should be used when work resumes, as Naddebo’s proposals are currently considered too extensive and costly.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate introducing advanced humanities classes in upper secondary schools, citing a lack of such specialization compared to existing options in math, science, and social sciences. However, the City Executive Board suggests this exploration can occur within their regular work on school offerings, deeming a separate investigation unnecessary.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the city amend its agreement with Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) to make SISAB responsible for school work environment and safety measures like entry systems, ventilation, and soundproofing, as schools currently often bear these costs themselves, potentially creating safety disparities. The City Executive Board, however, recommends addressing the motion by referencing ongoing access system investigations but rejects a general transfer of all such costs, citing the risk of increased school rents.

The Liberals (L), represented by Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén, proposed that the City of Stockholm develop an action plan for a "District Lift" in all vulnerable areas, including Järva, Skärholmen, and Hagsätra-Rågsved, with concrete goals for all involved committees and companies to counteract segregation and criminality. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, asserting that the city's current work on focus areas already addresses these issues effectively through the budget and existing structures.

Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) has proposed that the City investigate using school music rooms as rehearsal spaces after school hours, given Stockholm's shortage of such venues. The City Executive Board suggests responding that work is already underway, led by an inter-departmental steering group, to make school premises, including music rooms, available to associations and cultural life after school hours, clarifying rules around responsibility, equipment, and costs.

A motion from Lovisa Hedin (KD) proposed that Stockholm develop a specific strategy for villa and row house areas to identify suitable areas for small house development and preserve their unique character. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be addressed by referring to similar intentions already handled within ongoing comprehensive planning and existing steering documents, and because the City Management Office, the Exploitation Committee, and the City Planning Committee do not see the need for a separate strategy.

Two Moderate politicians are proposing measures against illegal street racing and disorder on Strandvägen, including increased police presence, reinstated municipal security guards, speed bumps, speed cameras, and sound sensors. If these aren't sufficient, an investigation into closing Strandvägen to private cars at night is suggested. The Traffic Committee and City Executive Office believe existing measures, like temporary speed bumps and re-programmed traffic lights, have improved the situation, but further investigation into suitable actions is warranted.

Councillor Andréa Hedin (M) proposed that students in early primary school should not take digital devices home, that teaching and homework should primarily use books and pens, and that the city should develop common guidelines for digital tools in schools. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered but not approved, citing concerns that a ban could disadvantage students with special needs and those lacking digital tools at home. The City Management Office and the Education Committee believe a general ban is unsuitable as digital tools can promote learning and accessibility.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that Stockholm develop a strategy for Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS), exploring increased building rights for property owners in exchange for creating and maintaining high-quality public areas. The City Executive Board recommends referring to the statement, where consulted bodies like the City Management Office and planning committees primarily believe the city should own and manage public spaces, and existing legislation limits fully implementing the motion's intentions.

Jan Jönsson (L) moved that the City of Stockholm investigate limiting elementary school changes, similar to Uppsala Municipality, to create more stable school choices and aid school planning. The City Executive Office and Education Committee note the city already restricts school changes to specific periods, but maintain exceptions are necessary for students who relocate and that legal support is lacking to limit all changes to term starts.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Isabel Smedberg-Palmqvist (both Liberals) proposed that Stockholm should prioritize more art and culture in the city's elderly care homes, citing its positive impact on residents' quality of life and varying availability. The Liberals advocated for a joint strategy from the Culture and Elderly Care committees to boost access. However, the City Executive Board suggested rejecting the motion, deeming a new strategy unnecessary given ongoing work, though several Liberal members dissented, arguing a strategy is essential to ensure equitable offerings citywide.

The Liberals propose that the city investigate and tighten democracy clauses for rental agreements and cultural grants to prevent anti-democratic actors from renting city premises, even indirectly. While the City Executive Board notes that similar work is already underway through budget assignments for 2025 and 2026, several administrations and committees have raised concerns about the sufficiency or clarity of current guidelines.

Jonas Naddebo (C) has submitted a motion proposing a review of Stockholm's regulations for restaurants, nightclubs, and live music venues. The aim is to simplify permit processes and remove unnecessary requirements, such as the "kitchen requirement" and the notification duty for dancing, to make Stockholm freer and more vibrant. The motion also suggests that the City Executive Board should urge the government to implement national legislative changes.

Kristin Jacobsson (Centre Party) proposed a pilot project, "Winter Help," to assist seniors with ice and snow removal outside their homes, aiming to reduce fall accidents and social isolation while creating jobs for young people or students. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion by referring to its statement, citing challenges with competition law, organizational difficulties, and the risk that the service would only reach a limited number of seniors living in detached or terraced houses.

Two Moderate politicians suggested in a motion that the City of Stockholm launch a pilot project with floating park islands in the city's waters, such as Riddarfjärden and Årstaviken, to boost biodiversity, mitigate climate change impacts, and create more pleasant urban environments. However, the City Executive Board proposes dismissing the motion, stating that the city already works with similar initiatives like quay balconies and floating plant islands and sees no need for further directives.

Liberal party members proposed that the City Council task the Real Estate Committee and the Culture Committee with investigating and developing a strategy for the city's artist studios, aiming to coordinate and streamline the existing studios to improve working conditions for artists and preserve culturally valuable buildings. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be considered answered, as an artist studio strategy for 2024-2026 is already in place and addressing these issues, including the creation of new studio spaces.

A motion proposed that the City of Stockholm strengthen and develop its safety points by increasing their number, improving geographical distribution, ensuring staffing and equipment, and boosting public awareness, also suggesting a local "If Crisis or War Comes" brochure and clear signage. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that current civil preparedness work already covers much of it and that the city should await national investigations and legislation to avoid unnecessary investments.

Jan Jönsson and Isabel Smedberg-Palmqvist (both L) propose in a motion that the city investigate and find more locations for street art in Stockholm's outer districts, arguing it contributes to a vibrant city, local engagement, and strengthens neighborhood identity. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to existing functional structures for street art, including 60 million SEK allocated to the Traffic Committee for activating squares in focus areas.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the City Executive Board should support building the "Eastern Link" to complete Stockholm's ring road, aiming to reduce inner-city traffic, improve air quality, and ease commuting. While Lidingö and Nacka municipalities backed the proposal for increased road capacity and accessibility, the City Executive Office and Traffic Committee advised against it, citing potential traffic increases and the displacement of more cost-effective, approved projects. Consequently, the City Executive Board recommended rejecting the motion, though the Moderates and Liberals formally reserved their support for it.

Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed that the City of Stockholm introduce a building permit robot and investigate automating more permit processes, aiming to reduce lengthy processing times for businesses and individuals, inspired by other successful municipalities. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating the city already works on digitizing and streamlining permit processes, though the Moderates, Liberals, Centre Party, and Christian Democrats have reserved their position, fully supporting the motion instead.

The Sweden Democrats proposed that the municipality halt plans for approximately 140 new homes in Klubbensborgsbacken, Mälarhöjden, arguing the project would destroy the area's character, nature, and ecological balance while reducing public access. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, emphasizing the importance of housing construction and the need to follow the democratic planning process, which includes addressing public consultation feedback before making further decisions.

Liberal party members proposed Stockholm develop a model for splitting detailed development plan fees over time to ease costs for construction companies, especially smaller ones, and thus promote housing construction, particularly during economic downturns. However, the City of Stockholm suggests rejecting the motion, as the city is already actively improving processes and believes the current continuous invoicing model creates transparency and predictability, while plan fees constitute a minor part of total costs.

Gabriel Kroon and Mats Johnsson (both SD) submitted a motion proposing the city halt plans for new housing in Långbroparken, specifically at Lågbron 1, arguing it would destroy parkland and advocating for the existing café to be preserved. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by noting the importance of housing development in Stockholm, but also that the ongoing detailed development plan for Lågbron 1 has already been amended to remove housing, now focusing on creating a public amenity like a café.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed in a motion that Stockholm establish a "Viva Lyceum vård och omsorg" to consolidate care training from Komvux and upper secondary schools, aiming to boost the number of qualified healthcare professionals. He also suggested the city partially fund driver's licenses for students in these programs, contingent on passing the test and completing their education. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, citing that the city already finances driver's licenses for care students as of autumn 2025, and there are practical and pedagogical concerns regarding co-locating upper secondary and adult education.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the cost of replacing entry systems in schools and preschools be transferred from the education and preschool committees to Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB). This aims to ensure all schools meet basic security standards regardless of their economy, and to improve working environments through measures like ventilation and soundproofing. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by noting that a review of the cooperation agreement, which includes the issue of entry systems, is already underway, and that the ambition is for SISAB to cover these investment costs.

City Councillor Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that Stockholm City survey all schoolyards and carry out necessary upgrades to make them accessible for everyone, including children with disabilities, to combat exclusion and loneliness. While most referral bodies were positive about improving accessibility, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to ongoing work already addressing these issues.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that the City of Stockholm launch vocational programs at popular inner-city high schools that currently have a theoretical profile, alongside a strategy to boost the attractiveness of vocational programs and provide further training for study and career counselors with SKR. The City Executive Office and the Education Committee note that the city is already undertaking similar measures, such as a vocational program at Bromma Gymnasium and offering further training, but point to potential financial and practical obstacles for placing vocational programs in inner-city schools with a theoretical profile.

Gabriel Kroon and Liliane Åkerlund (both SD) proposed transforming the Rålambshovsparken amphitheater into a safer year-round meeting place, suggesting a café, summer dance stage, and temporary winter ice rink. The City Executive Office, Traffic Committee, and Kungsholmen District Council noted ongoing efforts to activate and improve safety there, including bush thinning, tribune renovation, ice rink flooding, and building a temporary dance floor. The City Council recommends dismissing the motion, citing these current initiatives.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) propose that the City of Stockholm investigate its own involvement in the operations at the former boys' home Eolshäll, where boys were subjected to abuse. They also suggest the city investigate compensatory measures for victims, inspired by the Norwegian "rettferdsvederlag" model. However, the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be addressed by referring to previous investigations and believes the issue of responsibility and compensation is best investigated at the national level.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) proposed establishing a research hub to develop an academic social services model in Stockholm, integrating researchers and social workers in district offices to improve service quality through evidence-based practices. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that flexible academic collaborations already exist, and digital transformation is the current priority.

Jonas Naddebo and Svante Linusson (both Centre Party) propose a comprehensive review of Valhallavägen from Roslagstull to Hakberget, aiming to identify conflicts and opportunities for improvement in traffic solutions and green infrastructure. They suggest investigating moving parking to garages to create new green spaces, playgrounds, and areas for spontaneous sports, while also proposing expanded, traffic-separated primary bicycle lanes and improved lighting, sanitation, and winter road maintenance for increased safety and well-being.

A motion suggested Stockholm municipal employees could take leave to become foster parents, with the city continuously promoting this to address the shortage of foster homes and offer children in care a more secure environment than institutional care, inspired by a similar initiative in Karlskrona. However, several departments, including the Social Welfare Committee and the City Executive Office, advise against the proposal, citing risks to staffing and noting that Karlskrona's model has failed to recruit any foster homes.

Jonas Naddebo and Svante Linusson (both C) have proposed that Stockholm investigate becoming a pilot city for self-driving cars in collaboration with Waymo, aiming to gather knowledge on the technology's urban function and its potential for safer, more sustainable transport. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that the city already monitors developments through networks and research, and no entity has applied to test autonomous vehicles in Stockholm.

Liberal party members propose that the City Council instructs committees and boards to prioritize renovation and maintenance of the city's culturally significant buildings, investigate budget adjustments for this, and explore establishing a cultural heritage fund. This aims to protect community organizations from eviction due to rent-increasing renovations. Several referral bodies, including the City Executive Office, the Real Estate Committee, and the Culture Committee, agree on the importance of preserving the buildings and supporting community life but highlight various challenges concerning financing and rental models.

Liberal party members propose that the City of Stockholm take stronger action to protect privately owned buildings of cultural-historical value. They suggest developing new strategies and tools, such as strengthening forced administration in cases of neglect and clearer guidelines to ensure compliance with zoning plans, to preserve the city's cultural heritage regardless of ownership.

Hanna Wistrand (L) has proposed that Stockholm investigate building a multi-track for skiing, cycling, and parasports, potentially at Högdalstopparna or Sjöängens BP. This track should be universally accessible, lit, traffic-safe, near public transport, and allow for artificial snow. The City views the proposal positively and is already discussing such a track with the Stockholm Ski Association, though land availability and precise dimensioning for various user groups are challenges requiring further investigation.

Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed that the Sports Committee investigate restart support for sports clubs affected by facility closures during renovations, and also develop a long-term plan to increase facility access, potentially through subsidies or temporary structures. However, rapporteur City Commissioner Jan Valeskog recommended dismissing the motion, citing existing support and plans, as new restart aid would be difficult to distribute fairly and incur high costs.

André Nilsson (L) has proposed that the City investigate the possibility of creating an artificial surf wave in Slussen, aiming to boost recreation, tourism, and activity in the city center. While several committees confirmed technical feasibility, they emphasized prioritizing Slussen's function for water regulation and boat traffic. Further investigations into safety, economics, and environmental impact are required.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (L) propose that the City of Stockholm allocate an additional 10 million SEK through the "School Peace" initiative to improve traffic safety around the city's schools. This would involve measures such as safer pedestrian crossings with traffic lights and speed bumps, enhanced lighting on school routes, expanded walking and cycling paths, and stricter speed limits in school zones. The proposal also mandates the Traffic Committee to collaborate with the Education and District Committees to identify areas with the greatest need for these improvements.

Kristin Jacobsson and Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that Stockholm City investigate introducing freeze-drying of leftover food in public services to reduce waste and strengthen food preparedness, including a pilot project in schools and establishing a municipal crisis stock. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating the city already actively works to reduce food waste and builds emergency stocks, and freeze-drying leftover food is not deemed feasible or necessary at present.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (Liberals) proposed that the City Council approve initiatives to improve accessibility and navigability in urban environments, especially for people with disabilities. They want the Traffic Committee to intensify efforts to include the accessibility perspective in all measures, addressing issues like building sacks blocking passages and improving snow removal and anti-skid measures. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating accessibility is already part of the city's work, but the Liberals reserve their right, arguing the city needs to act more forcefully with existing laws like the Environmental Code.

Mikael Valier Furtenbach (KD) proposed establishing special architectural zones in the city center and older districts of Stockholm to regulate building height, volume, materials, and design, thereby better preserving older structures. The City Executive Board recommends that the City Council reject the motion, arguing that sufficient tools and legislation already exist to protect the city's character and cultural environment, and that such zoning would be administratively complex and risk hindering urban development.

Kristin Jacobsson (C) has proposed that the City of Stockholm take measures to comply with the Council of Europe's Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings. This would grant potential victims of human trafficking a minimum 30-day reflection period with a right to residence, including support such as secure housing and legal advice. The proposal highlights the low number of such applications currently made and potential knowledge gaps within social services.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (both L) propose that the City of Stockholm investigate the living conditions and health of elderly LGBTQI+ individuals within elder care. They also suggest the city mandate LGBTQI+ competence in elder care procurements and provide continuous training for staff in encounter and LGBTQI+ issues. The Liberals argue that elderly LGBTQI+ individuals are a particularly vulnerable group with anxieties about needing care, and the city has a responsibility to offer equitable and inclusive elder care.

Council members Ismail Ali and Claes Nyberg (both C) propose that the City Council instruct the Preschool Committee to develop a plan for how all Stockholm preschools can engage in cultivation as part of their pedagogy, arguing it strengthens children's understanding of nature and sustainable development. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to existing initiatives and governing documents, believing a new city-wide plan is unnecessary.

Claes Nyberg (C) proposed a motion for Stockholm to introduce sibling priority for preschool placements where an older sibling attends a primary school organizationally or geographically linked to the preschool. The aim was to simplify family life, reduce children's stress, and promote gender equality, as women often adjust work schedules for pickups and drop-offs. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, deeming current placement options sufficient and believing the proposal would require extensive, unwarranted investigations and system changes.

Hanna Werner (M) has proposed a motion to transform Odenplan into a greener and more vibrant city square, tasking the Traffic Committee with improvements, including the bike garage, and initiating dialogue with Region Stockholm. The Traffic Committee, however, believes a major redevelopment is premature due to the ongoing subway expansion, though it is working on projects to improve accessibility and increase greenery.

Rasmus Jonlund et al. (L) propose in a motion that the City of Stockholm begin planning and seeking collaborations to host a Stockholm Exhibition in 2030, celebrating the centennial of the 1930 exhibition and focusing on sustainable and democratic urban planning, architecture, and design. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by noting that similar work is already underway, with Stockholm Business Region AB investigating the feasibility of such an exhibition.

Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed that the municipality investigate merging the three municipal housing companies: Familjebostäder, Svenska Bostäder, and Stockholmshem, aiming for greater cost-effectiveness, better climate and energy efficiency, and an increased housing supply. However, referral bodies, including the City Executive Office and Stockholm City Hall AB, believe the companies already address these issues and a merger isn't currently necessary, though they suggest further collaboration.

Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed that Stockholm introduce a "sports standard" to ensure land is allocated and sports facilities are planned early in new construction projects, citing public health and the risk of sports being deprioritized. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating that sports are already considered early in urban planning through existing strategies, but the Liberals and Centre Party have filed reservations emphasizing the importance of a sports standard to secure sports' place in the city.

Dennis Wedin (M) has proposed that the Exploitation Committee be tasked with finding a long-term solution, including a consolidated clubhouse location, for the 1400-member Örnsbergs Kanotsällskap, which has faced issues since their Gröndal clubhouse was demolished in 2018 and currently has a demolition contract on Reimersholme. While several committees and the City Executive Office state they are already actively working on the matter and thus see no need for a new directive, the opposition believes progress has been too slow.

Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed an inquiry into offering swimming lessons for adult newcomers through Swedish for Immigrants (SFI) and involving sports clubs, aiming to increase swimming proficiency and community engagement. The City Executive Board suggests responding by referencing an opinion that highlights legal and practical obstacles to integrating swimming directly into SFI, while also noting existing efforts and future state inquiries that could facilitate this. However, the Moderates and Liberals have reserved their position, advocating for the motion to be approved and an inquiry to be conducted.

A motion from Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed expanding Hammarbybacken with a new summit and raising the existing one using excavation spoil from subway construction, aiming to create a larger facility for both winter and summer sports. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing a lack of surplus spoil and the area's high natural values that must be considered.

Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed that Stockholm introduce more care animals in municipal care homes to meet the emotional needs of the elderly, especially those with cognitive impairment, for physical touch and to reduce loneliness. While various city departments and district councils view care animals positively, they highlight challenges like limited access to trained animals, hygiene requirements, and the need for risk assessments. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered by stating that work with care animals is already underway and district councils are tasked with promoting more such initiatives.

Center Party members proposed that the City of Stockholm and Region Stockholm implement a joint routine for ensuring children with autism receive equivalent and coordinated early behavioral interventions in preschool, clarifying responsibilities and transitions. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing ongoing work and stating that responsibility for treatments lies with the region.

Councilor Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed allowing seniors to consume their own alcohol at the city's open meeting points. However, the City Executive Office and Social and Senior Citizen Committees advise against this, as current alcohol legislation would prevent the sale of non-alcoholic beverages and necessitate a serving permit, impacting the meeting points' social and health-promoting mission. While the City Council rejects the proposal based on these concerns, the Södermalm District Council has decided to pilot the idea at Lusthuset Hornstull during specific hours when it's closed to the public.

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm increase its ambition for electrification as part of its climate work, asking committees and companies to investigate concrete measures and allocate budget funds. The City Executive Board suggests responding by referencing the existing Climate Action Plan 2030, which already includes electrification measures, but the Liberals argue the plan is insufficient and requires stronger political leadership to accelerate the transition.

Council members Sara Svanström and Elin Hjelmestam (both Liberals) propose that the City of Stockholm investigate and introduce differentiated parking fees, meaning higher fees for fossil-fuel vehicles and benefits for eco-friendly ones, to reduce climate emissions and improve air quality. However, several administrations and committees, including the the City Executive Office and the Traffic Committee, state that current legislation does not permit differentiated parking fees based on environmental class and a legal change would be required.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed in a motion to develop Stadsgårdskajen with new buildings overdecking the traffic route, including 180 homes, 25,000 sqm of offices and shops, a pedestrian path, park, marina, open-air bath, and waterside stage. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing ongoing large-scale projects in the area, and that Naddebo's proposal would entail significant risks and costs, while negatively impacting national interests in cultural heritage and shipping.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Christina Tufvesson (both L) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate creating more affordable and accessible premises for associations and local entrepreneurs, especially in the outer city, to foster social cohesion and economic development. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be addressed by referring to the city's existing work and initiatives in this area.

Local politicians from the Centre Party, Moderates, and Christian Democrats proposed allowing sports clubs to maintain subsidized rental rates for events even when serving low-alcohol beer, aiming to prevent increased fees and boost club revenue. The Sports Committee and City Executive Office have already decided to adjust the regulations for 2026, introducing a subsidized club rate for such events.

Liberal Party representatives propose that the City Council instruct the City Planning Committee to refine the strategy for detached house areas, focusing on architectural harmony and integrating green space factors into project assessments. While the City Executive Office, Exploitation Committee, and City Planning Committee acknowledge the importance of these areas, they believe the proposal's objectives are already addressed by current processes, and the City Planning Committee is already responsible for updating the strategy.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Christina Tufvesson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm develop an action plan to reduce dropouts from Swedish for Immigrants (SFI), citing the negative impact on integration and employment. However, the City Executive Office and several district councils believe current structured efforts and adapted training already address this issue, making a new plan unnecessary. The City Council therefore suggests the motion be addressed by referring to the existing work.

A motion from the Center Party proposes investigating and adapting Stockholm City Parking AB's parking garages to serve as protected spaces during a crisis, equipping them with ventilation, toilets, and water, and exploring future requirements for convertible garages. The City Executive Board suggests referring to a previous statement, meaning the city will await national requirements and state funding, while the Center Party advocates for more proactive city action.

The Liberals propose that the city restore and preserve culturally significant parks like Humlegården and Vasaparken, ensuring new installations are faithful to the originals and promoting quality additions such as small kiosks with cultural and food offerings. While several committees and offices believe the city already adheres to these intentions through existing guidelines, some district councils and interest groups support the motion's call for a clearer focus on restoration.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (both L) propose that the City of Stockholm investigate the possibility of allowing non-profit organizations to operate and maintain smaller parks through user agreements, aiming to strengthen local engagement and improve park maintenance. The motion also suggests the Traffic Committee, together with the district committees, develop guidelines and initiate a pilot program for this initiative.

Liberal Party members proposed an investigation into increasing workplaces in Söderort to address the unequal distribution and reduce commuting, arguing this would make the area more vibrant. The City Executive Board suggests responding by stating that the city is already working to strengthen workplace development in Söderort, including an analysis of office space needs and investments in the 2026 comprehensive plan.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that Stockholm should work to increase new business startups and improve the business climate, partly by having Stockholm Business Region once again responsible for advising new entrepreneurs. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be rejected, stating that the city already has extensive business promotion efforts and that the new approach with Entrepreneur Stockholm strengthens advice in specific areas like green transition and shortage occupations.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed naming a public space 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 significance. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, citing the Naming Committee's opposition due to existing locations already bearing his name, which could cause confusion. Several parties, including L, M, and C, dissented, arguing for a more prominent and frequented location to better recognize Jewish cultural heritage.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that the City of Stockholm map the prevalence of Afrophobia in the city's schools. This mapping should include an analysis of discrimination and hate crime reports, along with dialogue with civil society organizations, aligning with the Discrimination Ombudsman's (DO) national efforts. The proposal will be considered by the City Council.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the City of Stockholm conduct a new survey of antisemitism in its schools and preschools to inform an action plan for combating it. He argues the previous 2021 survey needs updating due to the rise of antisemitism in society.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed in a motion that Stockholm introduce a Swedish language test, similar to the existing math test, to better track students' reading comprehension and provide schools with improvement tools. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, deeming that such a test would not sufficiently fulfill its purpose and would incur excessive costs and administrative challenges.

Svante Linusson and Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed a motion to inventory Stockholm's avenues and develop a strategy for their care and development, also seeking new areas for avenues and transforming Karlbergsvägen into a green esplanade. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by pointing out that the city is already working on a new tree policy and has ongoing tree care and planting efforts, but that tree planting on Karlbergsvägen is limited due to underground infrastructure.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City Executive Board map the prevalence of homophobia and transphobia within Stockholm's municipal operations, including analyzing reports and engaging with civil society, to inform strategic measures and annual follow-ups. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to the city's existing human rights program and an action plan for the equal rights and opportunities of LGBTQI+ individuals.

Liberal politicians proposed simplifying and improving conditions for Stockholm's visitor industry, advocating for faster processing, better phone service, easier applications for existing businesses, and a review of outdoor seating and dance permits. The City Executive Board suggests responding by stating the city is already addressing these issues, but the Liberals lodged a reservation, arguing industry feedback clearly demonstrates the need for their proposed measures.

Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposed that the City Executive Board take coordinated responsibility for developing Fagersjöviken in Magelungen into an attractive area for water recreation, citing overgrowth and unclear responsibilities. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating the city already conducts extensive, coordinated work to improve water quality and recreational opportunities in Magelungen, with Fagersjöviken prioritized within the Fokus Farsta initiative.

Liberal Party members propose Stockholm city evaluate its environmental zones, including those in Gamla Stan and Södermalm, to assess their impact on air quality, emissions, residents, and businesses. The goal is for these findings to inform future work on environmental zones, though City Commissioner Lars Strömgren (Green Party) notes the city already evaluates these zones and supports them as a measure to improve air quality.

Jan Jönsson and Åsa Nilsson Söderström (both L) proposed clear guidelines for digital tool use in preschools, suggesting an investigation into current practices, advocating for screen-free environments for younger children, and ensuring support for play and physical activity. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, arguing that the revised preschool curriculum and upcoming National Agency for Education support materials already address these concerns, and that decisions on learning tools should rest with educators.

The Liberals propose Stockholm city map the prevalence of honor-based oppression in preschools, citing it as a violation of children's rights and the preschool curriculum, and noting a lack of clear guidelines and understanding of its extent. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating the city already addresses honor-based violence and oppression and can await a national inquiry's results, while affirming continued work on staff training and cooperation.

Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) has proposed that the City of Stockholm adopt a goal to maintain the total number of parking spaces at or above 2020 levels, advocating for higher parking ratios in new developments and more underground garages. However, the City Executive Board, Traffic Committee, and other referring bodies recommend rejecting the motion, arguing it conflicts with the city's aims to reduce car traffic, improve accessibility, and lessen climate impact.

Councilor Johan Nilsson (M) proposes that the City of Stockholm acquire or exchange land to protect the natural and cultural values of Långbro Park. This aims to prevent a private property owner from building approximately twelve townhouses on the Lågbron 1 property, which historically was part of the park. Nilsson advocates for Lågbron 1 to be integrated into Långbro Park, with the city offering the property owner an alternative plot for the housing development.

Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed transforming Johanneshovsvägen into a green boulevard with reduced speed and fewer lanes, creating space for around 1045 new homes, more pedestrian and cycle paths, and greenery, while also suggesting a new public square at Lindes tram stop. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that similar initiatives are already underway within the Årstastråket project, making new assignments for the committees unnecessary.

The Liberals propose amending Stockholm's land allocation policy to allow the city to impose clearer social requirements on developers, for instance regarding housing types and target groups, to promote socially sustainable housing and access for those with limited means. They also suggest the Social Welfare Committee play a larger role in coordinating housing provision for vulnerable groups. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, citing existing work and new guidelines that they believe already address its intentions, but the Liberals dissent, arguing for concrete and binding requirements.

In a motion, Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes developing Kista into the Nordic total defense center, citing concerns over businesses leaving and high vacancy rates despite its potential. He suggests a strategic investment in urban development, housing, businesses, and infrastructure, alongside city-government collaboration to attract defense-related entities. The City Executive Board proposes responding by referencing existing efforts in Kista, which already include strengthening the defense sector among other tech areas, and extensive work to make Kista a more attractive, vibrant, and safe mixed-use city.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed allowing individuals to "buy" and fund trees on public land, potentially with a nameplate, to reduce city costs. However, the City Executive Office and Traffic Committee foresee challenges such as high administrative expenses, difficulties in tree selection and placement, and legal issues regarding ownership.

Gabriel Kroon and Tapani Juntunen (both SD) have proposed that all public signage in Stockholm should primarily be in Swedish, with Swedish text visually dominating, for instance, by being at least twice the size of other languages. However, the City Executive Office and the Traffic Committee believe there's no basis for such rules, as they lack support in Swedish constitutional law and could undermine the city's goal of being welcoming and inclusive.

Two Liberal party members propose strengthening the role of the city's policy documents, like the architecture policy and the strategy for single-family homes, in urban development. This would require better coordination between committees and follow-up on how these guidelines are used to ensure sustainable and predictable development. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating that the city already works extensively to integrate these documents.

Åsa Nilsson Söderström (L) proposed in a motion that the City of Stockholm investigate establishing a competence center against transnational oppression. This center would gather and disseminate knowledge about pressure from countries of origin on individuals seeking refuge in Sweden, offering legal support to those affected. However, many committees and the City Executive Office believe this is a state responsibility rather than a municipal one, although they are open to collaborating with state actors, and the Liberals suggest it could be organized similarly to Origo, an existing center for honor-related violence.

Councilor Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm implement the "phonics" reading method more extensively in city schools, citing an international study showing a decline in Swedish students' reading ability. Referral bodies, including the Education Committee and the City Executive Office, agreed on phonics' importance but argued that effective reading instruction requires a more balanced and language-developing approach that considers students' diverse needs, and that politicians should not micromanage teaching methods.

Liberal Party members proposed consolidating all parking garages owned by the City of Stockholm under Stockholm Stads Parkerings AB to boost efficiency and resource utilization. While many municipal bodies see the benefit of increased efficiency, they highlight significant challenges, including legal and cost issues, as well as the use of parking revenue for tenant benefits. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, arguing that current collaborations meet the proposal's aims and that an ownership transfer would be too complex, a stance opposed by the Moderates and Liberals who advocate for the motion's approval and an investigation.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposes that the City take action to lower food prices by increasing competition among grocery stores, suggesting the City analyze competition in new urban planning, introduce a fast track for grocery stores in detailed development plans, and review existing plans to facilitate establishments. Presiding Councillor Jan Valeskog advises against the motion, stating the City already actively promotes access to grocery stores, citing the "New Grocery Stores – Proactive Planning and Land Allocation" project, and believes the detailed development plan process provides essential quality assurance, making a fast track unnecessary.

Svante Linusson (C) has proposed moving the winter break to an earlier week to give children more opportunities for snow activities, particularly for those not traveling. However, several committees advise against this due to logistical, social, and economic challenges, and because it would disrupt an established national schedule.

Two Sweden Democrats politicians propose halting the construction of a disability housing complex in Lammholmen, citing unsuitable ground conditions, potential damage to old-growth forest, and highway noise impacting future residents and neighbors. However, the City Executive Board and several committees recommend rejecting the proposal, emphasizing the urgent need for more disability housing to address the city's significant deficit and stating that site suitability will be assessed during the detailed planning process.

A motion proposes that the City of Stockholm immediately activate a twin city agreement with Kyiv and establish a routine for city administrations and companies to regularly donate unused equipment for Ukraine's reconstruction. The majority on the City Executive Board believes the city is already moving in this direction and the agreement can be signed when the situation allows, while the opposition desires immediate action and quicker implementation of donations.

Johan Nilsson (M) has proposed that Stockholm's municipal primary and secondary schools be locked around the clock to unauthorized individuals to reduce security risks like theft and vandalism and improve the working environment. The Education Committee and City Executive Office believe locked doors effectively prevent some crimes but aren't fully reliable against planned violent acts, recommending further investigation into the matter.

Motion by Moderates Andréa Hedin and Per Rosencrantz proposes that the City of Stockholm map honor-related violence and oppression at least once per mandate period. The aim is to monitor developments, improve the city's preventive and supportive efforts, and identify children and students across all school forms. However, the City of Stockholm and the referral bodies (City Executive Office, Social Welfare Committee, and Education Committee) advise against the motion, arguing that extensive work is already underway and a new mapping would be resource-intensive.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that Stockholm Globe Arena Properties AB install new security solutions in the arenas, in collaboration with football clubs Hammarby IF and Djurgårdens IF, to prevent disturbances and match interruptions before the 2025 season, following such incidents in 2024. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion, noting ongoing work for increased safety, including dialogue with the clubs and investigating new technical solutions, though these are not expected by spring 2025. Some politicians, including Wedin, entered reservations, wanting the motion approved.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes in a motion that the City of Stockholm sell land outside its municipal borders that is not considered strategic for the city's operations. The city owns over 2,000 hectares in neighboring municipalities, historically acquired for suburban development, and while much non-strategic land has been sold since 2007, Naddebo wants this divestment to continue for both financial gain and to empower neighboring communities.

Jan Jönsson and Elin Hjelmestam (L) have proposed that Stockholm launch a pilot project to install solar panels on the facades of municipal buildings. They also want an investigation to be initiated to enable more such installations going forward, aiming to boost local renewable energy production and contribute to the city's climate goals, especially where roof space is limited.

Liberal party members propose that the City of Stockholm appoint a dedicated environmental controller for the Bromma Park City development project. This role would ensure the project's environmental and climate impact is minimized, remediation is healthy and safe, and biodiversity is preserved. However, the City Executive Office, the Land and Exploitation Committee, and the Building Committee currently deem a special environmental controller unnecessary, as the project is in its early stages and similar functions are already being established.

The Liberals proposed that the City of Stockholm establish a contract controller position within the Traffic Administration to review, negotiate, and follow up agreements with external parties, aiming to reduce cost increases in infrastructure projects and ensure responsible use of taxpayer money. However, the Traffic Committee responded that they have already strengthened their contract follow-up and hired a contract controller, and that cost increases are more attributable to inflation than inadequate contract control.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Björn Ljung (L) propose that Stockholm develop a strategy to create more allotments and urban farming spaces, citing high demand and benefits for biodiversity and resident well-being. Their proposal includes reviewing suitable land areas, simplifying establishment processes, and considering temporary and rooftop spaces. While several committees are positive, they note that a similar urban farming program is already underway and is expected to be finalized in 2025.

Moderates have proposed that Stockholm swiftly replace the closed Sätra recycling center, urging relevant companies and boards to immediately increase capacity at existing southern centers and present a permanent or temporary replacement. The City Executive Board proposes responding to the motion by citing a temporary mini-recycling center in Skärholmen Centrum set to open in September 2025, while work on a permanent solution continues.

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm support new, innovative housing models focusing on social and economic sustainability, such as the Kymmendö model. They want the city to investigate organizational and regulatory obstacles hindering such projects and adapt land policy to prioritize more inclusive housing. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be responded to by stating that the city is already actively working to promote innovative housing solutions and has adapted its land policy to prioritize social and economic sustainability.

Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed that the city appoint a temporary "waste ombudsman" for two years to review the finances and expenditures of city administrations, municipal companies, and district councils, suggesting efficiency improvements for non-core spending areas. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, arguing that existing structures like the City Audit Office and the city's governance model already provide sufficient oversight, and a waste ombudsman risks creating redundant work.

Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) has submitted a motion proposing that the City Council investigate how Stockholm can utilize lighter asphalt and pavements to enhance the city's attractiveness, lower temperatures during heatwaves, and reduce vulnerability. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing ongoing climate adaptation work, stating that more greenery is considered the most crucial measure, and deeming a general investigation into colored asphalt as not meaningful.

Moderates Dennis Wedin and Henrik Virro proposed that the City of Stockholm develop a unified strategy for Facility Management to streamline property and facility services like cleaning and maintenance, aiming for cost reduction and service improvement. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion due to ongoing work and concerns from referral bodies that over-standardization could reduce flexibility, though the Moderates have filed a reservation, advocating for its approval.

A Moderate Party motion proposes making Stockholm greener and more enjoyable by identifying and transforming underutilized spaces like rooftops, areas under bridges, and new quays into new green spaces and mini-parks. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that similar initiatives are already underway across various city committees and companies, while still acknowledging the importance of vibrant green meeting places.

In a motion, the Moderates Annika Elmlund and Johan Nilsson proposed that the City Planning Committee and the Land and Exploitation Committee develop an action plan to build more terraced houses and similar dwellings in Stockholm, citing a need for larger homes, especially for families with children. However, the City Executive Board recommends that the motion be responded to as dealt with, stating that these issues are already addressed within existing policy documents and ongoing planning work, even while sharing the proponents' view on the need for more multi-room homes.

Councillor Tom Hedrup (M) proposed that all Stockholm high school students visit a university at least once before graduation to boost interest in higher education, especially for those from homes without a history of university study. The City Executive Board and Education Committee, along with universities like KTH and Stockholm University, acknowledged the importance of this goal, noting existing collaborations and programs such as Vetenskapens Hus, which offers free visits and prioritizes schools from less academically advantaged areas. The majority of the City Executive Board therefore proposed dismissing the motion, citing ongoing efforts, while the Moderates reserved their position, arguing the motion's proposals should be approved to guarantee university visits for all students.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council establish Gökdalen in Farsta as a biotope protection area. The purpose is to long-term preserve the natural values and biodiversity in the approximately 12.3-hectare forest area, which contains old trees and is an important habitat for bats and forest birds, among others. The proposal has been revised after consultation, and a dialogue has taken place with Ellevio AB regarding existing power lines.

Stockholm City Council will decide on establishing Vikingaberget-Johannesdal in Skärholmen as a biotope protection area. This approximately 10.4-hectare area, featuring old-growth trees like pine and oak, provides valuable habitats for numerous animals and plants.

The City Council is poised to designate Hemskogen in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör as a 16.6-hectare biotope protection area to safeguard its old trees and biodiversity, crucial for recreation and the city's ecosystem. The Liberals and Centre Party have registered reservations, arguing the process was rushed and such extensive protection could significantly impact future urban development and living environments.

The City Council is proposed to establish the Åkeslund Biotope Protection Area in Bromma. This roughly 6.8-hectare area, characterized by very old trees, will be protected to preserve and develop its natural values and biodiversity. Following public consultation in winter 2026, the proposal was adjusted based on feedback, notably by excluding major utility corridors from the protected area.

The City Executive Board proposes that Trekanten in Hägersten-Älvsjö be established as a 20.4-hectare biotope protection area to safeguard the lake, its shores, and the forest south of the lake, aiming to preserve and enhance biodiversity, particularly for the rich bat fauna. Liberalerna and Centerpartiet have reserved against the proposal, arguing the protection is too extensive and may limit urban development and public safety within the recreational area.

The City Executive Board proposes establishing Kyrkhamn-Riddersvik as a new nature reserve in the Hässelby-Vällingby district. Covering approximately 137.9 hectares, the reserve aims to preserve its high natural, cultural, and recreational values while improving accessibility for outdoor activities through new paths, signage, and rest areas. Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will be responsible for the reserve's operational costs, excluding properties and public roads.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council adopt a detailed plan for Sothönan 3 and others in Aspudden, enabling about 220 new tenant-owner apartments, ground-floor commercial spaces, and a new square, street, and park. This plan, which aims to expand Aspudden's center and integrate new buildings with the area's 20th-century architecture, has undergone several adjustments after appeals, including reducing apartments from approximately 250 to 220 and modifying building volumes to increase distance from neighboring properties.

The Municipal Council will consider a proposal to adopt a detailed plan for a new subway depot in Älvsjö industrial area, essential for the planned Yellow line between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve a revised plan for the Årstafältet project in Årsta. Due to the recession and high construction costs, the pace of housing construction will decrease from 600 to 450 units per year, meaning the project is now estimated to be completed around 2045 instead of earlier. Priority is given to phase 5 Södra, including a new subway station and an earlier completion of the park, to enhance attractiveness.

The City Council is poised to approve a revised plan for the large-scale Mälaräng urban development project in Skärholmen. This plan includes approximately 1,100 new homes, two preschools, and a F-9 school, while transforming the Bredäng interchange into urban streets. The project will be split into two phases: phase one, with 86 homes, will begin construction in 2026, while phase two is paused until economic conditions improve due to its significant investment requirements and the challenging market.

The City Council will vote on an updated implementation decision for thela project in Kista, located between Grönlandsgatan and Isafjordsgatan.

The Stockholm City Education Committee approved a statement in response to the Swedish Schools Inspectorate's referrals regarding new and expanded independent upper secondary schools. The Committee found no general need for more student places in Stockholm due to declining student numbers until 2034. While applications for nationally approved sports education were seen as complementary, expansions of certain vocational, university preparatory, and an international school program were deemed potentially detrimental to the city's education system. The decision was immediately adjusted, and Linnéa Vinge (SD) dissented, proposing instead an emphasis on freedom of choice and geographical spread.

The Stockholm Education Committee rejected seven applications to establish new independent schools or expand existing ones, including international schools, preschool classes, and after-school programs.

The Kungsholmen City District Committee approved the administration's statement in response to a Centre Party letter regarding changes to the city's green spaces and the need for annual measurement. The administration views positively developing the follow-up of green spaces to strengthen ecosystem services and biodiversity.

Gustav Johansson (M) and other members dissented, arguing the decision was overly restrictive and stifled innovation.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör City District Council has approved a liquor license application for Lilla Odesa at Hjälmarsvägen 30 in Årsta.

The Council determined this would not negatively impact the neighborhood but rather complement the existing local offerings.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council approved Stockholm Live Catering AB's application for an extended serving permit. This means Avicii Arena, Annexet, and Hovet can now serve alcohol to the public in their restaurants from 11:00 AM to 3:00 AM, Monday through Sunday, on event days. The administration determined this was acceptable with responsible alcohol service practices, including routines to prevent overserving and handle intoxicated guests, and the deployment of at least two security guards on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 PM if service continues past 1:00 AM.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör City District Council denied Tesfamariam Gebreab's (Afrikan Vibes) application for a liquor license to serve spirits, wine, beer, and other fermented alcoholic beverages at an outdoor seating area at Snösätragränd 10, Bandhagen, from April 1st to October 31st, 11:00-23:00. The decision was based on the location being a nature reserve with children and youth activities, lacking a stable residential presence, and posing risks of insecurity and public disorder if alcohol were served. The proposal passed with 8 votes for and 5 against, with the Liberals, Moderates, and Centre Party dissenting as they wished to approve the application.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council approved the administration's response to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO) regarding the district's work to prevent, detect, and address risks and deficiencies under Lex Sarah in social services, particularly elder care. While the administration's response indicated established routines and preventative measures, council member Emelie Wassermann (SD) noted that 16 of 25 Lex Sarah reports in elder care from 2023-2025 were deemed deficiencies, criticizing the administration's use of "mostly" instead of "always" when detailing elder involvement and follow-up actions.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör City District Board has appointed Marcus Nilsson as the Medical Officer for Rehabilitation (MAR) for their area, effective May 1, 2026. This appointment fulfills a new legal requirement, starting July 1, 2026, mandating that all municipalities have a MAR to ensure medical expertise in municipal healthcare.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör City District Board approved a preliminary decision to plan for a new group home for individuals with disabilities, creating six new housing units by 2030 in the Blixtlåset 1 property, with an estimated annual rent of SEK 1.3 million. The Sweden Democrats supported more LSS housing but criticized the apartment sizes (35-39 sqm) and the project's long timeline.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council approved its first interim report for 2026, indicating two out of three city council goals were fully met, with the "green and fossil-free Stockholm" goal partially met.

Additionally, budget adjustments, an anti-crime action plan, procurement plan, and several applications for professional development funds in disability care, elderly care, and senior mental health were approved.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council approved the administration's statement in response to a letter from Peter Backlund (L) and Urban Rybrink (L). Their letter raised concerns about the recruitment of children and young people into far-right "activist clubs" in southern Stockholm. The administration outlined its crime prevention efforts, including collaboration within SSPF (school, social services, police, and recreation) and adherence to the City of Stockholm's guidelines for preventing and detecting violent extremism, as well as how they work to prevent municipal premises from being used by extremist groups.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council approved a statement responding to an inquiry from the Left Party, Social Democrats, and Green Party regarding managers' web-based training on Environmental Program 2030.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council approved the administration's statement in response to a letter from the Centre Party regarding the consequences of skilled worker expulsions. The Centre Party expressed concern that these expulsions impact municipal operations, which have significant recruitment needs in elderly care, preschools, and social services, as well as the city's business sector. While the administration emphasized the importance of being an attractive employer and securing competence, they stated that they currently cannot assess the full consequences or the number of employees potentially affected by such expulsions.

A citizen proposed building a boules court and adding park furniture in Margaretaparken. The District Council approved the administration's recommendation to gravel an area in the park for boules, but not construct a framed court due to limited flat space and to avoid hindering other events. This decision enhances the park's amenities and creates a new space for spontaneous sports.

A citizen proposed expanding the sunbathing jetties in Årstaviken into swimming jetties. The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district council decided against the proposal, citing that Årstaviken is a waterway for larger boats and ships, making swimming there unsuitable, especially since the shipping lane is close to the southern shore where the jetties are located, limiting options for deep-water swimming jetties. Emelie Wassermann (SD) reserved her opinion, advocating for the matter to be sent back for investigation into smaller improvements.

The Södermalm District Council rejected an application for a serving permit for the ice cream kiosk Capanna Verde at Åsögatan 148.

The Södermalm District Council reviewed a referral from the Social Welfare Administration's licensing unit regarding an application for a serving permit for restaurant LuckyOrNot at Varvsgatan 8.

The Södermalm District Council decided to re-procure the operation of the Maria Youth Club's recreational activities, including mobile youth leaders.

The Södermalm District Council decided that the municipality, via the administration's cleaning unit, will take over the daily cleaning of office premises at Virkesvägen 3 and Tjärhovsgatan 32 from October 1, 2026. This move, which coincides with the expiration of the current contract with Rengörare Näslund AB, aims to improve efficiency and quality, mirroring successful transitions in municipal preschools.

The Södermalm District Council decided to task the administration with preparing a procurement of new, modern safety-enhancing technology for elderly care homes. This is due to the current safety alarms being outdated and their contract soon expiring. The administration will return with a detailed request before a final decision on the procurement itself is made.

The Södermalm District Council approved a decision to rent five new apartments, including common and staff areas, in the Persikan 6 block on Södermalm.

The Northern Inner City District Council considered a motion from Annika Elmlund and Sophia Granswed Baat (both M) to make Stockholm a more enjoyable city with more culture, freedom, and social community. The motion proposed, among other things, making more land available for culture, lowering fees for temporary permits, and lifting local alcohol bans. The council approved the administration's proposal, which generally supported culture in public spaces and acknowledged that lower fees could increase activity, but stated that general lifting of alcohol bans required careful investigation. The minority (M, L, C) dissented, wishing to fully approve the motion.

The City District Board for Norra Innerstaden approved the administration's response to a letter from the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party regarding the swift sweeping and washing away of gravel and debris after winter, citing high levels of dangerous particles in Stockholm's air. The administration replied that rough sweeping was already completed in the entire district, with fine sweeping to follow, and clarified that the board is only responsible for parkland, not street areas managed by the Traffic Board.

The Norra innerstaden District Council approved the administration's response to a letter from Anders Lindman and Ann-Kristin Carlberg (both SD) regarding serious allegations of sexual offenses and other crimes within home care services.

The administration stressed the seriousness with which they view these issues, highlighting existing routines to promote safety, collaboration with the police, and adherence to the city's procedures for criminal record extracts.

The Norra innerstaden District Council noted that Gärdet Group Home, an LSS residential facility for individuals with dementia, has chosen to participate in the City of Stockholm's Quality Award 2026. The administration believes this participation will positively contribute to operational development and provide valuable feedback to the unit.

The Norra Innerstaden district committee reviewed a citizen proposal to reopen "Nya verkstan," a social psychiatric employment program, as "Verkstan för alla" for all residents. The administration rejected the proposal, stating that Nya Verkstan is specifically designed for individuals with special needs who are outside the labor market and require a calm environment, and opening it to the public would not be suitable for this target group. They noted that many other open craft activities and associations are available in the city.

The Northern Inner City District Council considered a citizen proposal for winter maintenance of outdoor gyms, which suggested snow removal and gravel placement. However, the council approved the administration's assessment that this is unsuitable, citing difficulties with machine snow removal, damage to surfaces from shoveling or sanding, and potential equipment damage from sand. Residents using outdoor gyms in winter were advised to be aware of snow and ice.

The Norra Innerstaden district committee decided to forward a citizen's proposal to convert the gravel soccer field in the Norra Djurgårdsstaden popup park into an artificial turf field.

The committee handed the proposal over to the administration for further processing.

District Director Jesper Ackinger updated the Norra Innerstaden district council on the situation following the March fire at Solrosen Preschool. Cleanup has progressed faster than anticipated, and children are expected to return to their regular premises in June.

The Council found the development positive and consistent with the cultural and historical values, raising no objections.

The Disability Council for Enskede-Årsta-Vantör, Skarpnäck, and Farsta met to receive updates from administrations, discussing accessibility at the Skarpnäck civic office and expressing concerns about the automatic transfer of social psychiatry clients to elder care at age 65, which can disrupt continuity.

The Farsta City District Administration proposes that the City District Committee note the notification of Farsta's participation in the Quality Award 2026. This award aims to recognize and reward operations within the City of Stockholm that work to improve quality and service for residents. This year, the Farsta City District Committee is competing with an entry from the Disability Unit.

The Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party have requested clarification from the Farsta District Council on how social services interpret and apply the new confidentiality legislation, effective December 1, 2025, specifically concerning its impact on information sharing and collaboration with schools and the police. Farsta District Administration proposes responding with an official statement acknowledging that the new law facilitates greater information sharing, especially for crime prevention, while still requiring individual assessments and considering the ethical challenges of sharing data without consent. The administration welcomes the city's ongoing work to update guidelines and the confidentiality handbook.

Silent Event Sweden has proposed donating Silent Disco equipment, valued at 17,950 SEK (excluding VAT), to the Farsta City District Administration.

The Skarpnäck District Council is set to review three citizen proposals: one suggests converting Tätorp's ball court into an artificial ice rink due to the lack of outdoor options in the district.

The third aims to build a simple 30-square-meter dance floor in Skarpaby park for summer dance and activities.

The Skarpnäck District Council is addressing a letter from politicians concerned about the recruitment of children and youth into right-wing extremist groups. While the district administration reports no confirmed cases of such recruitment, they acknowledge the presence of right-wing extremist graffiti in public spaces and outline ongoing preventative work, collaboration with schools and police, and existing routines to handle concerns related to violent extremism, with further development of these procedures planned. They also assure that processes are in place to prevent the misuse of municipal premises and grants by inappropriate actors.

A citizen proposal suggests upgrading Magnebergsparken in Enskededalen with perennial beds, bushes, and more lilacs, also dividing the park into "rooms" for play, grilling, and relaxation. The Skarpnäck district administration is positive and includes the park in its long-term renovation plans, but no investments are planned before a major upgrade can begin, earliest 2030, due to the high cost exceeding the district administration's budget.

The Skarpnäck District Council is set to review a citizen proposal from Åsa Malmström to create deer-resistant flowering field edges around Nytorps gärde to support pollinators, arguing it would benefit visitors and the ecosystem. However, the district administration recommends against pursuing the proposal in its current form, citing existing initiatives like meadow mowing and bulb planting for biodiversity, and concerns that wide flowering zones would impact accessibility, maintenance, and incur unbudgeted costs.

The Skarpnäck District Committee will consider a citizen proposal for all municipal meals to be entirely plant-based, citing reduced emissions and more efficient preparation of special diets. The District Administration notes they already work to reduce meat consumption per city programs, but a fully plant-based diet is currently offered as a special option, not the standard.

The Preschool Committee adopted guidelines for work shoes in both municipal and independent preschools in Stockholm. This means staff working directly with children, such as childcare workers and preschool teachers, can receive one new pair of work shoes per year, valued up to 1000 SEK, once the City Council approves an overarching policy for work shoes in welfare operations.

The Preschool Committee approved a statement to the City Executive Board regarding the inquiry "Legal Certainty in Public Care for Children and Young People (SOU 2026:8)". The committee supported proposals for increased expertise in LVU (Compulsory Care of Young Persons Act) processes and improved data collection for social welfare committees, believing these would strengthen children's legal rights. While the Preschool Administration noted a minor concern about preschool staff potentially spending time as experts, they concluded this would not be a significant operational issue.

The Social Welfare Committee in Stockholm noted a compilation of the Health and Social Care Inspectorate's (IVO) oversight of the Söderort Residential Home for Girls (HVB) and the Söderort Acute and Short-term Accommodation. IVO found deficiencies in the handling of threats, violence, and abuse at the girls' HVB, but decided against further supervisory actions as the committee demonstrated implemented measures. Regarding the acute and short-term accommodation, IVO assessed that the committee's actions to rectify a previous deficiency concerning house rules that limited children's self-determination and integrity were sufficient, and the case was closed.

The Stockholm Social Welfare Committee noted a compilation from the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO) regarding their supervision of Essinge HVB (home for care or residence). IVO had found deficiencies in background checks, suitability assessments, and house rules that limited children and young people's self-determination during an unannounced inspection in 2025. The matter was closed by IVO as the HVB home, which had low occupancy, was decided to be wound down in January 2026.

The Social Welfare Committee approved the administration's response to the Moderates regarding homeless individuals' applications for financial assistance. The response clarified that revised affiliation rules in 2024 have led to new client groups for the Homelessness Unit.

The Social Welfare Committee in Stockholm approved the administration's response to a letter from Andréa Hedin et al.

A special statement from C, L, and M emphasized ensuring that policy documents are put into practice, with proper follow-up and consistent application.

The Social Welfare Committee in Stockholm approved the administration's response to a letter from the Center Party and the Liberals regarding support for children and young people exposed to sexual exploitation.

However, the Center Party, Liberals, and Moderates issued a separate statement requesting a more detailed response on how support functions in practice and further clarification on the Mika reception's role for minors.

The Social Welfare Committee approved the proposal to order five group home apartments with common and staff areas in the Persikan 6 block on Södermalm. This is to address the city's significant shortage of housing places under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS). The new homes are expected to be ready for occupancy in the autumn of 2026, with an estimated annual rent of approximately SEK 2 million.

The Social Welfare Committee approved plans for a new group home for individuals with disabilities in the Blixtlåset 1 property in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör.

This initiative seeks to address the shortage of housing for this demographic in Stockholm.

The Social Services Committee has approved a plan to build a new 12-apartment supported living facility in Hornsbergskvarteren, Kungsholmen.

The Social Welfare Committee approved a proposal to distribute SEK 1.7 million to private providers of social services and services under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS). These funds, earmarked in the City Council's 2026 budget, are intended to strengthen employee wellness for providers that applied, such as Misa AB which received SEK 196,905 and Nytida dagliga verksamhet which received SEK 305,080.

The Social Welfare Committee approved the Social Administration's proposal not to raise fees for permits, registrations, and supervision of alcohol, tobacco, and nicotine-free product sales in 2027. This means fees will not be indexed to the municipal activity price index for that year, as current fee levels are deemed sufficient to cover costs. The proposal has now been forwarded to the City Council for a final decision.

The Social Welfare Committee in Stockholm approved implementation guidelines for introducing work shoes for staff in social psychiatry, substance abuse and dependence, and support and service for people with disabilities. This decision is conditional on the City Council making an overarching policy decision for work shoes within welfare services.

The Social Welfare Committee in Stockholm approved the 2025 annual report for personal ombudsmen. The report indicated 580 people received support, but highlighted service queues, increasingly complex needs among clients (including financial vulnerability and co-occurring conditions), and shortcomings in psychiatry, primary care, national insurance, employment services, and social services, as well as inter-agency cooperation. The Sweden Democrats submitted a separate statement proposing an expansion of the personal ombudsmen's preventative social work.

The Social Welfare Committee decided to approve the direction for Stockholm City's Security Award 2026. This 50,000 SEK award aims to recognize and encourage initiatives that prevent violent extremism. This is part of the city's broader effort to increase security and strengthen democracy, especially given the spread of violent extremist environments and anti-democratic ideals among young people.

The Social Welfare Committee adopted a report detailing 470 Lex Sarah reports received in 2025 concerning deficiencies in social services and LSS in Stockholm.

Most reports originated from the disability sector, elderly care, and child and youth services, primarily concerning shortcomings in service delivery and due process.

The Stockholm Social Welfare Committee approved the 2025 Social Services Report, which details the current state and development of social services. Key findings include an increase in households receiving financial assistance and seeking budget and debt counseling, while child welfare reports stabilized but still commonly cited violence, neglect, or abuse. Support sought for domestic violence rose, though the number of individuals in protective housing decreased.

The Social Welfare Committee in Stockholm approved its first tertial report for 2026, covering financial forecasts and goal attainment from January to April. The Committee also established systems for internal control, risk and materiality analysis, a procurement plan, and an action plan against violent extremism for 2026–2027. While the proposal was generally supported, Jan Jönsson (L) partially advocated for it, criticizing the lack of analysis regarding actual effects on individuals and the follow-up of children in care.

The Stockholm City Social Welfare Committee approved the Social Welfare Administration's opinion on a government referral regarding the "Legally Secure Social Care for Children and Young People (SOU 2026:8)" inquiry. While supporting proposals for increased expert involvement in LVU processes, clearer timelines for immediate seizures, and structured care termination reviews, the administration stressed the need for sufficient resources, competence, and collaboration, also questioning the short consultation period. Jan Jönsson (L) issued a separate statement criticizing the short consultation period and highlighting a paradox in strengthening the child perspective in LVU while potentially lowering the age of criminal responsibility.

The Social Welfare Committee in Stockholm was informed about several ongoing initiatives, including a collaboration between the Social Welfare Administration and the Eldercare Administration with Gävle regarding welfare fraud. The committee also received approximately 8 million SEK in government grants over two years to combat men's violence against women, which will fund regional work, develop counseling methods, and create web-based educational materials.

The Social Welfare Committee decided that the administration should respond to a letter from the Moderate Party regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within social services. The Moderates' inquiry concerned current AI use for transcription and documentation, the committee's view on expanding AI to reduce administration and improve quality, existing pilot projects, and how data protection regulations, especially for sensitive personal data, are ensured with AI use.

The Culture Committee responded to a motion from Annika Elmlund and Sophia Granswed Baat (M) regarding making Stockholm more enjoyable through culture, freedom, and social community. The motion proposed seven measures, including making more land available, lowering fees for cultural actors, lifting alcohol bans, allowing outdoor seating on "free weekends," revising noise regulations, extending public transport hours, and launching "open streets" pilot projects. The Committee decided to refer the administration's report to the City Executive Board, welcoming the motion's ambition while noting that the administration is already addressing several issues and many proposals require collaboration with other administrations. Oscar Sameland (M) and Niclas Peyron (L) dissented, wishing to fully approve the motion.

At the meeting, Jonas Naddebo (C) inquired about Herman Bergman's art foundry, and it was revealed that the cultural strategy staff had unsuccessfully tried to find new premises for it. Additionally, information was provided that the property owner had applied for a demolition permit, which the City Museum for Cultural Environment advised against due to the building's high cultural-historical value.

The Culture Committee decided to task the Culture Administration with procuring a new framework agreement for the transport of art and museum objects. This new agreement, estimated at approximately SEK 7.2 million over a maximum period, will secure specialized transport services for Liljevalchs and Museums and Art, both domestically and internationally, as the current agreement expires at the end of 2026.

The Culture Committee granted 1.35 million SEK in support to VIDI immersive AB to develop new stage activities at Elverket in Östermalm. The venue, empty since 2025, will reopen in autumn 2026 with an immersive museum and a stage hosting concerts, dance, and theater performances approximately three times a week.

The Culture Committee approved a grant of SEK 750,000 to Södergården for a meeting place for young transgender people aged 18-30 during 2026. This initiative aims to combat social isolation, improve mental health, and provide a safe space focused on community, creativity, and empowerment. The Sweden Democrats reserved their position, arguing that cultural policy should not fund separatist activities and that such efforts belong within social policy.

The Culture Committee has granted concert organizer Selam 2 million SEK to establish a new music venue in Marievik, scheduled to open in March 2027 with a capacity for up to 660 people. This venue will host various events including concerts, club nights, festivals, literary evenings, art exhibitions, and stand-up comedy. The Sweden Democrats dissented from the decision, arguing that funding should prioritize children, youth, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, and that commercial aspects of the operation should be privately financed.

The Stockholm Culture Committee has approved an additional 656,000 SEK in funding for Mittiprickteatern (400,000 SEK) and Teatergruppen Pero (256,000 SEK). This support is for cultural programs in preschools and schools in 2026, through the "Kulanpremien" concept. The decision was made because the theaters, having previously received delegated funding, are experiencing high demand, and the total amount exceeded the delegation limit.

The Culture Committee approved a new internal rent for Liljevalchs art gallery, as the Real Estate Department initiated up to three new projects to improve security and fire protection, each with an investment cost not exceeding SEK 10 million. However, Emelie Wassermann (SD) expressed concern that the decision lacked full financial justification for the rent increase and that splitting projects into smaller parts risks reducing political oversight of total costs.

The Culture Committee approved a major technical upgrade of Hägerstensåsens community center (property Valutan 1), including a new roof with solar panels, window renovation, and updated plumbing and electrical systems, to ensure its long-term function and suitability for activities. The committee also approved the estimated rental costs and instructed the Director of Culture to sign a temporary lease with SISAB for Kulturskolan during the project, as all tenants will need to evacuate for the renovation, expected to finish by Q1 2029.

The Culture Committee noted the operational plans for Stockholm City Library and Museums and Art for 2026.

This means the committee made a decision on how support for those caring for relatives will be handled, which is important for many residents looking after elderly family members.

The Elder Care Committee approved a report on Lex Sarah incidents for 2025 and decided to forward it to the City Council and various district, labor market, and education committees for their information.

The Elder Care Committee decided that the administration should prepare for the procurement of a framework agreement for safety-enhancing technology, also known as Project Lisbet. This means the city will work to acquire systems and services to increase safety for elderly residents.

The Committee for the Elderly decided that the Alarm Reception Unit, part of the Elderly Care Administration, may participate in the city's Quality Award in 2026. This means the unit will be evaluated on how well it meets the city's quality requirements for services provided to the elderly.

The Committee for the Elderly decided to forward a letter from members Hugo Laigar (M) and Nike Örbrink (KD) to the administration for preparation. The letter, titled "Letter regarding human rights program," questioned the implementation of the city's human rights program within elder care. It also requested an account of how the committee and administration ensure the program is followed and integrated into daily operations.

The Director of Elderly Care reported that Abono home care, whose contract was terminated by the city and who sued the city, has been granted leave to appeal in Svea Court of Appeal.

The Järva City District Committee approved the report to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO) concerning 46 decisions on support and services under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) that had not been implemented during the first quarter of 2026. Of these, 29 remained to be implemented at the time of reporting. The most common reasons for the non-implementation of decisions were that residents declined offers or had not chosen a service provider.

The Järva City District Council reviewed an office statement responding to a referral from the City Executive Board regarding the government's proposal for a national activity requirement for welfare recipients, obliging municipalities to provide activities. The Council supported the proposal that the Labour Market Committee should be responsible for these activities, believing this would foster uniformity, equality, and efficient resource use, despite anticipated increased administrative costs.

The Järva District Council addressed a citizen proposal to develop urban farming in Spånga village. The council partially approved the proposal, meaning a bee hotel will be built and larger rainwater collection containers will be acquired in consultation with the Geesgud association.

The Järva City District Council decided to enter into an "Ideburet Offentligt Partnerskap" (IOP) with the Fryshuset Foundation for 2026-2029, allocating SEK 600,000 annually. This collaboration aims to activate more public spaces in Järva during school holidays, including the summer, offer summer jobs for young people to strengthen their labor market position, and enhance safety and provide meaningful activities, especially for girls.

The Järva District Council approved the administration's statement regarding the Centre Party's proposal to connect Järva's leisure library to Fritidsbanken. The administration previously investigated the matter and determined that operating it independently allows for better local adaptations and integration with labor market initiatives. The administration plans to monitor developments in Skärholmen and other districts before re-evaluating the issue.

The Järva City District Council was set to consider approving the design of a new six-apartment group home for individuals with disabilities in the Mariehamn 1 block. Although the proposal outlined a need for new housing and an estimated annual rent of SEK 1.3 million, the item was removed from the agenda and no decision was made.

The Järva District Council decided to take over the staffing of the reception at the Tensta administrative building starting in Q1 2027, ending their contract with security company Avarn. This aims to improve service, accessibility, and safety for visitors, in line with the new Social Services Act, and also allow new "safety hosts" to operate in the district as needed. The Moderates dissented, arguing the decision is unnecessary and will lead to higher taxpayer costs.

The Järva District Council dealt with a matter concerning the closure of a paternity investigation under the Parental Code. The decision in the case, with diary number JÄRVA 2026/380, was removed due to confidentiality, so it is not clear what the decision meant for the individual concerned.

The Environmental and Health Protection Committee has updated dietary advice for self-caught fish in several Stockholm waterways due to elevated levels of PFAS, especially PFOS. The public is now strongly advised not to consume any self-caught fish from Magelungen and Drevviken. For other lakes like Brunnsviken and Årstaviken, children, adolescents, pregnant and breastfeeding individuals, and those planning pregnancy should limit consumption to 2-3 times per year, while others can eat fish up to once a week. These are recommendations, not fishing bans, and are being communicated to relevant authorities.

On 19 May 2026, the Environment and Health Protection Committee decided to submit comments on the proposed Storängsbotten plan. It did not approve the detailed development plan; it requested additional studies of groundwater, stormwater and cloudbursts before the later review stage.

The Environment and Health Protection Committee approved a report on the inspection of care homes in Stockholm between 2023 and 2025. This revealed that 42 percent of homes had serious deficiencies requiring follow-up, often due to poor routines for legionella, abnormal water temperatures, and noise. The Committee decided to forward the report to the district committees and the elderly care administration, and the environment administration will develop digital guidance and webinars in 2026 to improve knowledge among operators and property owners.

The Environmental and Health Protection Committee approved the administration's response regarding property-proximal waste collection in older inner-city properties. The response clarified that general exemptions cannot be mandated, but Stockholm Vatten och Avfall (SVOA) has established criteria for alternative solutions in cases of limited space, unreasonable economic burden, or historical classification. The committee will continue to closely monitor the implementation, particularly the application of these criteria and the sufficiency of information provided to property owners.

The Environmental and Health Protection Committee approved the Environmental Administration's response to a referral from the City Executive Board regarding snow dumping. While the administration acknowledged that dumping snow in water, especially from high-traffic areas, contributes to pollution and should be minimized, it currently remains the only solution for maintaining accessibility during heavy snowfall. The committee emphasized the need to investigate alternative methods and allocate land for snow storage, noting that new dispensation conditions, valid until 2031, have been nuanced regarding "freshly fallen snow."

The Environment and Health Protection Committee rejected the Chemicals Agency's proposal to abolish the permit requirement for professional sellers of particularly hazardous chemical products, citing concerns it could boost sales of such products, weaken corporate self-regulation, and complicate oversight. However, the Committee approved other parts of the proposal, including removing the record-keeping requirement for business-to-business sales of dangerous chemicals and exempting e-liquids and tobacco-free nicotine products from chemical regulations. The Moderate Party members dissented, advocating for the removal of the permit requirement to reduce business costs.

The Environmental and Health Protection Committee approved the Environmental Administration's proposal responding to Linnéa Vinge (SD)'s motion to ensure meat as an option in the city's public meals. The Administration deemed current guidelines already provide healthy and nutritious food for various groups and support climate goals by increasing plant-based options and reducing meat, without removing choice. Anders Edin (SD) dissented, advocating for the motion to guarantee at least one full-value meat, poultry, or fish option at every lunch in preschools, schools, and elderly care.

The Environmental and Health Protection Committee approved the Environmental Administration's proposed referral response regarding a new "Program for Events" in Stockholm. While the Administration welcomed the program, it criticized the vague and insufficiently guiding language concerning environmental and climate impact. The Moderates and Vice Chairman Elin Hjelmestam (L) dissented, arguing the matter should be returned for further development to include broader dialogue with the event industry, as they felt the basis lacked practical knowledge.

The Environment and Health Protection Committee approved the 2025 annual report on Stockholm's air quality, which showed current environmental quality standards were met for all pollutants, with a clear decrease in nitrogen dioxide levels. However, future tightened EU requirements for PM10 particles were not met at S:t Eriksgatan and the E4/E20 at Lilla Essingen, and neither the "Clean Air" environmental quality objective nor WHO guidelines for particles were achieved in several central areas.

The Environment and Health Protection Committee approved a report on Stockholm City's climate goal follow-up for 2024 and 2025. The report indicates Stockholm is not on track to meet its 2030 climate targets or the long-term goal of a fossil-free city, having already exceeded its emissions budget in the first two years. Criticisms included that only 46 percent of 2025 procurements mandated fossil-free fuels and that supplier follow-up is insufficient.

The Environment and Health Protection Committee approved the minutes from the Disability Issues Council meeting on April 15, 2026. During that meeting, discussions included the Property Department's and Environment Department's budget proposals for 2027-2029, where the council raised questions about the refurbishment of Eriksdalsbadet and the City Library, and the cleanup of Bromma Airport should it close. The council also expressed concern about the environmental impact of designing minutes for print-friendly paper formats.

The Environmental and Health Protection Committee decided to acknowledge various received documents, including action plans for Roma inclusion, LGBTQI+ rights, national minorities, Sámi rights, and a plan for an age-friendly city. The committee was also informed about the audit report for 2025 and the City of Stockholm's annual report for the same year.

The Preschool Committee is to decide on writing off a debt of SEK 203,904 from Barnstugan Linden preschool, which went bankrupt on December 11, 2023. As the bankruptcy is concluded and available funds have been distributed, the city cannot recover the full amount.

Sophia Granswed Baat (M) proposes that the Preschool Committee's decision of March 3, 2026, regarding Yxan preschool should not be implemented or should be revoked, allowing the preschool to continue operations. The administration reports that the committee's decision has been appealed and the Administrative Court has granted an injunction, meaning the preschool can continue until a final court decision. The committee cannot alter its decision while the case is with the Administrative Court, but the administration suggests the committee approve the official statement as a response to the initiative.

Politicians from the Centre Party, Moderates, and Liberals have questioned the Preschool Committee regarding Yxan preschool, whose main provider approval was revoked in March 2026. They ask if the decision is based on current information, what changes Yxan has made since the 2022–2023 inspection, and how the city supports independent preschools in rectifying deficiencies before intervention. The administration responded that inspections follow the Education Act, include recent annual reports, and that interventions aim for correction and proportionality.

The City Planning Committee has decided on a zoning plan proposal for Skarpnäck sports field to allow a new sports facility combining a sports hall, ice rink, and swimming pool at Skarpnäcks Gård 1:1. This new facility will replace the existing sports hall and aims to improve safety and connections between Skarpnäck, Pungpinan, and Bagarmossen via a new pedestrian and bicycle path.

Council member Desirée Johansson highlighted deficiencies in decision documents for planning matters, specifically how green spaces are presented. She argued the documents too narrowly focus on biotope protection and stormwater, neglecting crucial values like recreation, play, shade, and local climate. The subsequent discussion also pointed out that cultural-historical values and overall ecological connectivity are frequently missing from these documents.

The City Planning Department has drafted a detailed development plan for properties Bremen 1 and 3 in Ladugårdsgärdet. This plan aims to allow for the renovation and expansion of office buildings to create approximately 40,000 square meters of new office space and 200 homes, while also enhancing Tegeluddsvägen's urban character with new ground-floor retail, restaurants, and a large grocery store. The Stockholm Beauty Council commented that the proposal for Bremen 3 is problematic and that Philipshuset should retain its current height and design, though they could accept the changes for Bremen 1.

The Council decided on the program for its 2026 outing and dinner. The day will include a visit to the City Library to learn about its ongoing renovation, and a stop in Hagastaden where former member and landscape architect Anders Jönsson will present Timglasparken, designed by his firm.

The Municipal Executive Board's Senior Citizens' Council noted incoming documents, including minutes from previous meetings, and discussed an action plan for an age-friendly city focusing on participation, collaboration, and accessibility for Stockholm's elderly.

At the Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council meeting on April 23, 2026, new alternate members were appointed to the city district administration's pensioner council. Wivian Lindberg was appointed as an alternate for the National Organization of Pensioners (PRO) and Barbro Erlandsson as an alternate for the Swedish Pensioners' Association (SPF).

Divisional Manager Marie Lissäng reported no new complaints since the last Pensioners' Council, though the Security Service reported six incidents concerning key issues and personal alarms. The ordering unit for elderly care is now also available at Vällingby Health Centre, and upcoming events like the district competition and politician interrogations were announced, where citizens can ask questions about home care, nursing homes, and other elderly care matters.

The council addressed the potential abolition of the Freedom of Choice Act (LOV) but noted the matter had not yet reached the district. The district also reported that summer staffing plans look good, and they now have fewer intermittent employees than the city's benchmark.

The Municipal Board's Personnel and Gender Equality Committee received an oral report on full-time employment statistics from the Director of Development and HR and a strategist. The committee noted the report, which was then filed, meaning the information was recorded without any further decisions being made at this meeting.

The City Executive Board decided to propose to the City Council that the Traffic Committee be allowed to implement the project for major measures on the western Liljeholmen bridge, with expenditures for 2026 within the committee's investment budget and for subsequent years in the 2027 budget. This decision was made despite reservations from the Moderates and Sweden Democrats, and special statements from the Liberals and Christian Democrats.

The City Executive Board decided to reject a motion from Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (L) proposing Stockholm develop a digital map function to facilitate trade logistics.

Jan Jönsson dissented, stating that current solutions do not meet the trade sector's need for comprehensive real-time information.

The City Executive Board rejected Sara Svanström's (L) motion to improve pedestrian safety at dangerous crossings, which proposed mapping, prioritizing, and implementing measures. The Board instead referred to the city's ongoing and planned traffic safety work for unprotected road users, which already includes similar actions. Jan Jönsson (L) dissented, advocating for the motion to achieve more systematic and rapid improvements.

The City Executive Board approved the Preschool Committee's proposed functional program for preschool premises. This program will guide the construction of new preschools and the renovation of existing ones, aiming to ensure suitable, safe, and secure environments for children. Stockholm City Hall AB was also asked to have relevant companies adopt the program, and the Preschool Committee is tasked with continuously updating its supporting materials. The decision was reserved by the Moderates, Sweden Democrats, Liberals, and Centre Party, who all presented their own proposals.

The City Executive Board decided to grant the Real Estate Committee permission to proceed with the project for a new administrative office for the Järva City District Administration at the Kämpinge 2 property.

While the proponents wanted to investigate how increased competition could boost construction rates, lower costs, and broaden the number of developers, the City Executive Board stated that the system is already open and involves multiple actors. Council Member Jan Jönsson (L) dissented from the decision.

The City Executive Board decided to respond to the Ministry of Education's referral concerning improved student health services. Stockholm is positive about strengthening student health but criticizes the proposals' increased state micromanagement and insufficient funding, which would result in an annual cost increase of SEK 45 million for the city. The Moderates and Liberals entered reservations with their own proposals advocating for more state funding and a clearer medical mandate for school healthcare.

The City Executive Board has decided to propose to the City Council a temporary extension of serving hours in Stockholm until 8:00 AM during the men's FIFA World Cup 2026, from June 11 to July 14.

However, the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party expressed reservations, presenting their own proposals.

The City Executive Board responded to the Ministry of Education's consultation regarding the report "Principals in Focus – Conditions for Pedagogical Leadership (SOU 2026:4)".

The City Executive Board of Stockholm has responded to a referral from the Ministry of Education regarding stricter conditions for the independent school sector (SOU 2025:123). The city approved the proposal to tighten ownership and suitability controls, mandate municipal statements for establishments, clarify the assessment of negative consequences, and require new applications for operational changes in independent preschools and schools. The Centre Party welcomed the stricter requirements but disagreed that the inquiry missed its mark by not prohibiting profit distribution in independent schools.

The Municipal Council considered a motion by Jan Jönsson (L) to install shower stalls in all schools to improve safety and encourage more students to shower after physical education.

The Moderates and Liberals dissented, advocating for the motion's approval, while the Christian Democrats proposed a dedicated investment fund for the purpose.

The City Executive Board decided to inform the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning that Stockholm has no objection to their proposal to repeal regulations regarding adaptations and deviations for temporary accommodation facilities. The city believes this repeal, stemming from outdated building regulations, will not significantly impact the ability to construct such housing, as exceptions can still be made under the Planning and Building Ordinance.

The City Executive Board has approved the project direction for the new Husbybadet on the Bislet 1 property, allowing the Real Estate Committee to proceed with planning a new bathhouse featuring a 25-meter pool, two teaching pools, and an adventure pool, as the current facility has significant structural defects and will be demolished.

The decision also includes a SEK 0.5 million incentive grant for preliminary project planning.

The City Executive Board approved Micasa Fastigheter's plan to build an 80-unit care home in the Bergholmsbacken project in Bagarmossen.

The area comprises old coniferous and noble deciduous forest with very old trees that provide important habitats for birds, bats, and other species.

The City Executive Board decided to establish the Hemskogen biotope protection area in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör.

Stockholm generally approved the proposal, which entails abolishing party ballots, making election administration solely responsible for ballot distribution to polling stations, and introducing requirements for parties to participate with candidate ballots. However, the city stressed the need for full funding, estimating that the ballot distribution responsibility alone would cost at least one million SEK.

This gives the Land and Exploitation Committee the right to proceed with the project, which includes new office buildings, a residential building, and street extensions, for a total project cost of 78.3 million SEK. The decision also involves renovating Grönlandsparken, aiming to enhance Kista's attractiveness.

The City Executive Board decided to propose that the City Council approve the Exploitation Committee's right to continue with investigations and design work for stage 1 of the Mälaräng project, with a total project expenditure of SEK 146.3 million. Stage 2, which includes the reconstruction of the Bredäng interchange and approximately 1100 homes, is postponed until conditions improve. The Christian Democrats reserved their position against the decision.

The City Executive Board has approved a revised policy decision for the Årstafältet project.

The Christian Democrats issued a reservation against the decision.

The City Council has approved Stockholm City Hall AB purchasing "negative emissions" from Stockholm Exergi's carbon capture facility (BECCS Stockholm) for the years 2029-2043.

The City Executive Board decided to propose that the City Council approve a digital map for Stockholm municipality's local public order regulations and revise certain paragraphs, including § 22 concerning the collection of dog waste, which would expand the requirement to the entire municipality instead of just the inner city. Additionally, existing map appendices will be repealed and replaced with the new digital map, and the decision will be reported to the County Administrative Board for approval.

Expenditures for 2026 must be accommodated within the council's investment budget, with future years' costs managed in the 2027 budget. The Moderates, Liberals, Centre Party, and Christian Democrats issued separate statements on the matter.

The City Executive Board rejected a Liberal party motion to develop a strategy for keeping rents low for community centers, association premises, and civic houses.

Jan Jönsson (L) registered a dissenting opinion.

The City Executive Board rejected a Liberal motion to introduce "cultural sound zones" to protect Stockholm's culture and nightlife. This decision was based on the inability of individual municipalities to permit higher noise levels under current law, and because existing initiatives like cultural navigators and the nightlife strategy already support the city's cultural and entertainment scene. The Liberals, Centre Party, and Christian Democrats dissented from the decision.

The City Executive Board rejected a motion by Anders Edin (SD) to protect Carl Bonde Forest in Hässelby from development and designate it as a nature reserve.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) dissented, advocating for the motion's approval to preserve the forest.

The City Executive Board approved Stockholm City Hall AB's acquisition of all shares in the newly formed company Kista Utveckling AB, which will drive and coordinate urban development, business collaboration, and place development in Kista.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm conduct a "crime proofing analysis" of its grant routines to reduce the risk of tax money being misused by criminal networks or associations. The City Executive Board responded by referring to a memorandum presented on the matter, while City Commissioner Jönsson (L) referred to the Liberal Party's special statement.

The City Executive Board decided to reject the Christian Democrats' motion for establishing a long-range shooting range in Stockholm. The motion, proposed by Nike Örbrink (KD), suggested the city find a location for a shooting range for both hunting and preparedness purposes. The decision was justified by Stockholm's dense urban environment, where limited space and the need to meet noise and safety requirements make it difficult to find a suitable location without conflicting with other land uses like housing, nature, and recreational areas.

The City of Stockholm is to respond to the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency's (MCF) proposed regulations on planning for evacuation and accommodation during heightened alert. The City believes the responsibilities placed on municipalities are too extensive without sufficient resources, calling for state funding and civil conscription to staff evacuation efforts. Stockholm also wants the option for partial evacuation in areas lacking bomb shelters.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB held a meeting on May 8, 2026, where they approved two status reports: "Status Report SFA Compressed May 2026" and "Status Report SFV April 2026". These reports were subsequently forwarded to Stockholms Stadshus AB for their information.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is recommended to approve an update including several consultation responses and a report, notably a review of Syvab’s financial vulnerability. This review confirms Syvab's economy is vulnerable due to significant investments, high debt, and altered ownership, despite the ability to cover increased costs via higher fees. The Board is advised to improve long-term financial governance, scenario planning, and dialogue with owner municipalities to mitigate this vulnerability.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is to approve a five-year report on Bornsjön's status as a water source. This report, produced approximately every five years, compiles measurements to track the lake's development as a raw water source and surface water body, showing both positive and negative trends. For instance, nutrient levels are decreasing in inflowing water but are slightly rising in the lake due to historical pollution, underscoring the ongoing importance of protecting Bornsjön's water protection area.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is proposed to approve its annual environmental reports for 2025. These reports detail how recycling centers in Bromma, Lövsta, Vantör, and Östberga, along with the sorting facility in Högdalen (Resursutvinning Stockholm, RUS), have met environmental permits and utilized internal controls to minimize negative environmental impact. For the Högdalen sorting facility, zinc levels in stormwater exceeded guidelines, and an action plan involving source investigation and potential additional treatment will be developed.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall's board is set to approve the 2025 environmental reports for wastewater operations across Stockholm, Huddinge, and six neighboring municipalities, as well as for the Valsta sludge interim storage facility in Haninge. These reports confirm adherence to current permits and conditions, showing reduced emissions of phosphorus, nitrogen, and organic matter, alongside a decrease in overflowed water volume compared to previous years. This indicates effective wastewater treatment and the company's commitment to minimizing its environmental impact.

The Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB board is proposed to approve a report on the state of the Stockholm archipelago in 2025. This report, based on water chemistry and plankton analyses, describes how the archipelago's water environment is affected by outflows from Lake Mälaren and discharges from the Bromma, Henriksdal, and Käppala wastewater treatment plants. It indicates generally stable conditions during 2025, with localized deviations in oxygen and nutrient levels, and a decline in ecological status in certain areas.

The Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB board is recommended to approve a status report for the Stockholm's Future Water Supply program (SFV). This report summarizes the status and events of the program, which aims to secure Stockholm's long-term drinking water supply, and details its 32 ongoing investigations and projects, including the major Lovö Södra Project and the Tensta reservoir.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is proposed to approve a status report for the Stockholm's Future Wastewater Treatment (SFA) project. The report indicates that the reconstruction of Henriksdal wastewater treatment plant and the tunnel for wastewater from Bromma are progressing according to plan, with wastewater diversion from Bromma estimated for 2028 and full completion of Henriksdal treatment plant in 2031. The project's budget and timeline remain consistent with previous decisions.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB proposes that its board approve energy efficiency measures and solar panel installations for 2026, and the outcome report for 2025. Despite implementing measures like more efficient pumps, the company expects total energy use to increase in 2025 and 2026 due to new treatment processes and the Resursutvinning Stockholm (RUS) sorting facility. Plans for solar panel installations have also been delayed, and there are technical issues with existing facilities.

The Stockholm Vatten och Avfall board is proposed to approve its multi-year plan for 2027-2029. This plan outlines how the company will continue to ensure drinking water and waste management for Stockholm and Huddinge, including significant investments in new facilities and adaptation to new legal requirements. It also focuses on strengthening cybersecurity, improving stormwater management, and reducing PFAS emissions into Lake Mälaren.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is recommended to approve the financial monthly report for February 2026. The report shows the company's debt totals SEK 34,993 million, a decrease of SEK 65 million from the previous month, with the interest rate for February at 2.55 percent and the city's guarantee commitment at SEK 4 million. This provides residents with important information on how their water and waste services are financed and how the company's finances are developing.

The board of Stockholm Vatten AB is proposed to approve a report on Syvab AB's financial vulnerability. The report found Syvab's finances are vulnerable due to low equity, high debt, and extensive investments, though increased costs can be covered by higher fees. Despite some wastewater volume being rerouted and thus reducing revenue, Syvab's long-term planning, including future fee increases, is expected to manage this. The report recommends Syvab develop clearer equity targets, conduct more extensive stress tests, and improve communication with owner municipalities regarding its long-term finances.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall is recommended to approve the report "The State of the Archipelago 2025," which summarizes water environment investigations in the Stockholm archipelago. The 2025 report indicates that Lake Mälaren's outflow transported significant amounts of phosphorus and nitrogen, while emissions from major wastewater treatment plants were below average. The ecological status in the archipelago varied, with both improvements and deteriorations in different areas.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten AB is proposed to approve a five-year report on Bornsjön's status as a water source. The report indicates that despite reduced nutrient levels in inflowing water, Bornsjön shows a slightly increasing trend of nutrients due to historical pollution. PFAS levels in the lake are very low, and it remains crucial to continue protecting Bornsjön's water protection area.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall is proposed to approve the environmental reports for wastewater operations in Stockholm, Huddinge, and Haninge municipalities for 2025. These reports confirm that operations adhered to permit conditions and that phosphorus, nitrogen, and organic matter emissions from treatment plants decreased in 2025 compared to previous years, providing crucial environmental impact information to authorities and the public.

The Stockholm Vatten AB board is proposed to approve the status report for Stockholm's Future Water Supply (SFV) for April 2026, summarizing program status including finances and critical risks up to March 2026. This extensive program, with investments around SEK 20 billion, aims to secure Stockholm's drinking water system until 2050 through renovation and upgrades of waterworks, main pipelines, and reservoirs, such as the Tensta reservoir and the development of Lovö Södra.

Stockholm Vatten AB is recommended to approve a status report for the Stockholm Future Wastewater Treatment (SFA) project. The report indicates that the project, which includes the closure of the Bromma treatment plant and the expansion of the Henriksdal treatment plant, is on schedule and within budget. The transfer of wastewater from Bromma to Henriksdal is planned for 2028, with the Henriksdal treatment plant to be fully completed in 2031.

The Stockholm Vatten AB board is asked to approve the company's plan for energy efficiency measures and solar panel installations for 2026, along with a report on 2025 outcomes. This plan aims to meet Stockholm City's energy efficiency and solar production goals by reducing energy use in water and wastewater treatment, waste management, and by lowering electricity demand during peak grid times.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten AB is recommended to revise decisions for two Bromsten projects aimed at reducing flood risks. Investigations have shown that the planned measures, a balancing reservoir and two water ponds, would have little or no effect on water levels in Bällstaån. Therefore, the projects are proposed for cancellation, meaning 22.2 million SEK for the reservoir and 16.9 million SEK for the ponds, already spent on planning and investigations, will be expensed.

Stockholm Vatten AB proposes a revised decision to upgrade the UV facilities at Norsborgs waterworks, increasing the budget from SEK 53 million to SEK 95 million. This is to ensure continued delivery of high-quality drinking water, as increasing issues with bacteria and organic matter in raw water, exacerbated by climate change, necessitate replacing current UV units with higher capacity models. The upgrade will maintain safe drinking water quality and operational reliability for the municipality's residents.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten AB is proposed to approve a multi-year plan for 2027–2029, outlining the company's operations and major investments. The plan focuses on ensuring drinking water and wastewater services, managing waste, and developing the company's infrastructure, with particular emphasis on strengthening crisis preparedness, addressing challenges like PFAS in water, and expanding waste management to meet new regulations for property-close collection.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten AB is recommended to approve the financial monthly report for February 2026. The report shows the company's loan debt at nearly 35 billion SEK, a decrease from the previous month, with the interest rate for February at 2.55 percent. Stockholm Vatten has a loan limit of 43 billion SEK for 2026.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten AB will be reviewing the minutes from its meeting on February 12, 2026. Among other things, the Board is expected to approve an agreement regarding compensation for infringements related to the establishment of the Ryggbergen nature reserve within the Bornsjön nature conservation area. This means that residents in the area can anticipate compensation for the restrictions that the nature reserve may entail.

The Board of Stockholm Avfall AB is set to address several reporting matters, including responses to a children's rights action plan, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's report on EU packaging waste regulations, a proposal to use work tunnels in the New Östberga Tunnel as shelters, views on Spårväg Syd, and the report on land and environmental cases. Additionally, minutes from the Council for Disability Issues and an election matter in the municipal council will be reported to the Board.

Stockholm Avfall AB is proposed to approve its environmental reports for 2025 for several recycling centers (Bromma, Lövsta, Vantör, and Östberga) and the sorting facility in Högdalen. The reports indicate general compliance with environmental permits, though the Högdalen facility experienced one instance of elevated zinc levels in stormwater, which the company is now investigating and addressing.

The Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB board is asked to approve a plan for energy efficiency measures and solar panel installations for 2026, along with a report on 2025 results. These plans aim to meet the City of Stockholm's energy efficiency and solar cell targets, despite the company's anticipated increase in energy use due to new facilities and treatment processes. The board will also be informed about actions taken to reduce electricity consumption during peak grid load times.

The Board of Stockholm Avfall AB is proposed to make an implementation decision for a waste collection system project in the Hornsberg quarters of northwestern Kungsholmen. The project, costing up to SEK 29 million, involves installing new waste collection pipes and a terminal for household waste in an area where approximately 750 new homes, hotels, and preschools are planned. Developers and property owners in the area will pay a connection fee to cover the construction costs.

The Board of Stockholm Avfall AB is proposed to decide that the company will continue to collect waste from retail trade from July to December 2026. This applies to stores that haven't managed to arrange their own waste solution after municipal responsibility ends on July 1, 2026. The company will also develop a price list for waste collection and provide an update later this autumn.

The Stockholm Waste Management Board proposes approval of a multi-year plan for 2027-2029 detailing the company's waste management development. The plan focuses on enhancing efficiency to match the city's growth, including introducing property-near packaging collection from 2027. It also covers investments in new and refurbished recycling centers, such as a new permanent facility in Sätra and upgrades to the Lövsta recycling center.

The Board of Stockholm Avfall AB is recommended to approve the financial monthly report for February 2026. The report indicates the company's loan debt totals SEK 34,993 million, a SEK 65 million reduction from the previous month. The interest rate for February was 2.55 percent, and the city's guarantee commitment for the company was SEK 4 million.

The Stockholm Waste Company's board discussed waste management and environmental issues, including an update on current operations and property-near collection. There was a discussion about the company's reactive approach to property-near collection, noting that many Stockholm residents, especially small-house owners, lack clear information and solutions, emphasizing the need for improved communication and inter-departmental cooperation. The board also approved the company's 2025 annual report, its January 2026 financial report, and the 2025 data protection officer's annual report.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve a comprehensive renovation and rebuilding of the culturally significant property Pelarbacken Större 4 on Götgatan, Södermalm. The building, which is green-classified, is in urgent need of upgrades to its roof, facade, electrical system, and plumbing, with the project expected to finish in the second quarter of 2028. The Culture Committee will be the primary tenant, subletting to the Södergården community association to ensure their continued operation.

The Moderates questioned how long the city will continue to "look into" allowing alcohol service for seniors at municipal housing and community centers, also asking about disagreements within the majority. Elderly and Culture Commissioner Torun Boucher (V) responded that the city has actively worked on the issue, developing new support for districts to facilitate alcohol permits for holidays and shared meals. Specifically, at Väduren senior housing, residents can now organize their own gatherings with alcohol, while the city adheres to the Alcohol Act for its own events.

The Board of Stockholm City Hall AB decided to propose that the City Council approve S:t Erik Markutveckling AB's acquisition of all shares in Nya Lagerbolaget Y AB from Stockholm Hamn AB. This means the building Magasin 5 in Frihamnen will be transferred to S:t Erik Markutveckling AB for approximately 400 million SEK. The proposal also included approval for newly formed companies, board members, auditors, and articles of association.

The board of Stockholm City Hall AB decided to propose that the City Council approve a letter of intent for ship traffic at Värtapiren and Frihamnspiren. This agreement, between the Exploitation Committee and Stockholm Hamn AB, regulates future land use in southern Norra Djurgårdsstaden, land transfer, and enhanced electrification of Frihamnspiren. Jonas Naddebo (C) dissented, emphasizing the need to support existing culture and nightlife in Frihamnen and criticizing the project's internal governance.

Stockholms Stadshus AB's group board has approved AB Stockholmshem's new housing production at the Esbjörn 1 property in Solhem, with an investment cost of 1,024 million SEK for 255 new apartments. Christofer Fjellner (M) and Gustav Johansson (M) dissented, arguing that such a large development would negatively impact the area's character and that new construction should match the volume and footprint of the existing 96 apartments.

The Board of Stockholm City Hall AB noted the group management's service statement on the financial monthly report and filed the City Management Office's risk reports. Opposition parties (Moderates, Liberals, Centre Party, and Christian Democrats) expressed concern over sharply rising debt, which they claimed had led to increased taxes and interest costs, and risked lowering the city's credit rating.

The City Planning Office on Östermalm initiated a consultation for a detailed development plan for Guldfisken 26 (Nybrogatan 53), proposing to expand hotel operations by demolishing the top floor and adding two new rooftop floors with around 40 hotel rooms, plus a courtyard building for conference facilities. However, the Beauty Council rejected the proposal, arguing that the additions would be too prominent, negatively impacting the inner city's roofline landscape, and urged a stronger political commitment to preserving the urban environment's scale.

The Traffic Administration Office announced a budget assignment to enable swimming at more locations in Stockholm. They have received building permits for a new 30x19 meter floating bath with a 10x20 meter pool at Norr Mälarstrand, near Kungsholmen's harbor plan. Additionally, a quay balcony is planned for the western part of Söder Mälarstrand, near Pålsundet, offering opportunities for swimming, activities, and a sauna, necessitating the eastward relocation of the ship Polfors with the Seaman's School along the Söder Mälarstrand quay.

The secretary informed the Municipal Council about a Mitt i Vasastaden interview regarding the Snöklockan 4 detailed development plan proposal, and an SVT Stockholm interview about the "Stockholm Building of the Year" competition, with voting open until May 24th. He also mentioned attending a lunch hosted by the City of Stockholm for the King's 80th birthday.

Council member Johan Paccamonti (M) has submitted an interpellation to Housing Commissioner Deniz Butros (V) regarding Stockholm's housing policy. He questions the proposed direction of densifying villa areas with more multi-family houses and building more rental apartments in areas with tenant-owned apartments, as well as expanding public housing at the expense of the city's green spaces. Paccamonti argues that policy should align with Stockholmers' desire to live in villas, rather than requiring villa residents to adapt.

The Group Board proposes forming a new municipal company, Kista Utveckling AB, to manage and coordinate urban development, business collaboration, and place development in Kista. The company will receive a 2026 budget of 10 million SEK and an unconditional shareholder contribution of 100 million SEK. This new company is intended to reverse Kista's negative trend, characterized by high commercial vacancy rates and insecurity affecting both residents and investments.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed in a motion that the city implement an action plan to improve support for "grey-zone children"—students with cognitive difficulties who struggle to meet school goals but don't qualify for special education. He argued these students risk dropping out of upper secondary school due to lack of support. However, the City Executive Board, City Management Office, and Education Committee recommend rejecting the motion, stating the city already has a structured and continuously developing system for students needing special support, and that more action plans risk increasing bureaucracy rather than providing effective aid.

Councillor Andréa Hedin (M) is questioning Councillor for Social Affairs and Security Alexander Ojanne (S) regarding care interventions for children and young people. The interpellation highlights serious shortcomings in public child welfare, noting that Stockholm provides fewer interventions per child and a higher proportion of open interventions compared to Gothenburg and Malmö. Questions concern why Stockholm offers fewer interventions, if open interventions displace more comprehensive support, and how the new Social Services Act might affect the types of interventions provided.

Jonas Naddebo (C) is questioning the Commissioner of Traffic, Lars Strömgren, regarding Stockholm's development as a "sauna city." Naddebo states that despite the Centre Party's goal for more people to access saunas in Stockholm, bureaucracy has increased, making it harder to establish new saunas with many building permit applications being rejected. He asks how the Commissioner plans to ensure the goal of developing Stockholm as a sauna and bathing city isn't undermined by increased bureaucracy and if regulatory simplifications are underway.

Per Rosencrantz (M) questioned Emilia Bjuggren (S), Commissioner for Education, Labour Market, and Schools, regarding Stockholm's strategy for declining birth rates and an aging population, specifically how this impacts planning for schools, housing, and the labor market, and what measures are planned to attract families and secure the workforce. Bjuggren responded that the city closely monitors demographic trends, which influence operations and budgets, and highlighted ongoing efforts to ensure efficient welfare services, retain welfare staff as an attractive employer, and alleviate the housing shortage to allow families to afford living and growing in the city, noting Stockholm's continued low municipal tax rate.

Moderate MP Andréa Hedin questioned School Commissioner Emilia Bjuggren (S) on limiting social media in Stockholm schools, inquiring about the timeline for a technical solution, the lack of prior prioritization, and why access should be audience-adapted and not apply after school hours. Bjuggren responded that a filter blocking social media and inappropriate websites on student devices will be implemented by the start of the autumn term, adding that no decision on audience adaptation has been made and the administration is investigating the need for different restrictions between compulsory and upper secondary school, as well as 24/7 blocking.

Dennis Wedin (M) has submitted an interpellation to Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding approximately 10,000 closed reports concerning inadequate snow removal in January, submitted via the "Tyck till" app. Despite nearly 40,000 citizen comments during the period, the interpellation questions how these reports were handled, what lessons have been learned, if this is part of lowered expectations, and what the reports contained.

Dennis Wedin (M) questioned Jan Valeskog (S), Commissioner for Urban Development and Sports, about the future of Hovet arena and Djurgården Hockey's planned arena in Tallkrogen. Wedin criticized the red-green majority's decision to keep Hovet until 2030 while the land allocation for Djurgården's Tallkrogen project failed. Valeskog responded that the red-green majority intends to re-evaluate urban development plans in the northern Globen area, including the possibility of an ice arena, and that while Tallkrogen is suitable for sports, specific developments there will be decided once the Globen area's direction is clearer.

Annika Elmlund (M) questioned Elder and Culture Commissioner Torun Boucher (V) regarding the requirements for cinemas receiving financial support in Stockholm, following reports of Biograf Zita, which receives approximately 1.5 million SEK annually, displaying messages Elmlund interpreted as antisemitic by declaring itself an "Apartheid free zone" and taking a stance against Israel. Boucher responded that the city does not support activities violating democratic conditions or Swedish law, but emphasized the "arm's length principle" and artistic freedom, stating that Biograf Zita had not breached city requirements and that she saw no need to change cultural support guidelines, as freedom of speech and artistic freedom should remain fundamental to Stockholm's cultural life.

Dennis Wedin (M) questioned Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) about measuring ice thickness on Stockholm's waters to improve safety, arguing the city fails to provide official information for popular areas like Årstaviken and Riddarfjärden. Wedin wants to know why this information isn't available and if Strömgren would investigate a system for regular ice thickness measurements. Strömgren replied that the city promotes ice safety through campaigns but emphasizes personal responsibility, stating that various factors make ice on larger waters unpredictable and that publishing ice thickness could create a false sense of security.

Emelie Wassermann (SD) has submitted an interpellation to Jan Valeskog (S), Commissioner for Urban Development and Sport, regarding Svedmyrabadet, which has been closed since autumn 2024. She inquires about the timeline for renovation and reopening decisions, and why replacement bathing facilities haven't been provided despite promises, especially with Sandsborgsbadet also facing extended renovation. Valeskog responds that an investigation into Svedmyrabadet will be presented in the first half of 2026, and that users are directed to Sandsborgsbadet, which has been adapted with higher water temperatures. He confirms Sandsborgsbadet's renovation needs and that a solution is being developed to ensure swimming opportunities in southern Stockholm during its closure.

Dennis Wedin (M) questioned Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) on resuming the Nynäsvägen road-covering investigation, a project previously halted in 2025 due to perceived financial infeasibility despite no specific calculations being presented. Strömgren replied that extensive calculations did show none of the studied alternatives could finance a covering, adding that the city aims to improve the local environment by promoting walking, cycling, and public transport to reduce car traffic.

Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned Climate and Environment Commissioner Åsa Lindhagen (MP) regarding the decrease of green spaces in Stockholm due to densification and how nature values are to be preserved, citing Myrberget in Bromma as an example where new housing is planned on green space. Lindhagen responded that the majority is working to protect nature areas through new biotop protection areas and nature reserves, while acknowledging the acute need for new housing. She emphasized building primarily on hardened ground and that construction in green areas should be restrictive and include ecological compensation.

Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned City Planning Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) about construction plans for Ålstensskogen and Storskogen, as a green area will not be part of the new nature reserve, expressing concern about large-scale development and secrecy. Valeskog responded that the City Council will decide on establishing the 67.2-hectare Ålstensskogen–Storskogen nature reserve, and the Exploitation Committee has allocated land for approximately 50 new rental apartments (Stockholmshus) at Ålsten 1:1 to diversify housing in southern Bromma, assuring an open planning process for public input.

Andréa Hedin (M) questioned Social and Security Commissioner Alexander Ojanne (S) regarding the evaluation of the School Social Teams Plus (SST+) project, specifically why only 28 of 60 places were filled, how to improve goal attainment, and when all Stockholm students will have access. Ojanne responded that the city is broadly working to get students back to school, that SST+ is now permanent and will be successively introduced across the city, aiming first for all focus areas. A new, integrated SST and SST+ model is being piloted and will be evaluated in summer 2026 before wider implementation.

Kristin Jacobsson (Centre Party) questioned Elder and Culture Commissioner Torun Boucher (Left Party) regarding a ban on residents enjoying an after-dinner drink with their coffee during Thursday fika at the Väduren senior housing common room, which the Centre Party deems unnecessary paternalism. Boucher responded that the city must adhere to alcohol laws for events where the district administration is the organizer, but a solution has been found where residents can arrange such fika themselves when the city is not the official organizer.

Svante Linusson (C) asked traffic commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) about banning gasoline-powered vehicles on bike paths due to air pollution and health risks for cyclists. Strömgren agrees about the problem with exhaust fumes from fossil-fueled mopeds but states that current legislation prevents the city from banning only gasoline mopeds. He has contacted the Minister for Infrastructure to explore legislative changes, such as introducing environmental zones for mopeds or classifying them as a separate vehicle category.

Andréa Hedin (M) questioned City Commissioner for Education, Emilia Bjuggren (S), about the red-green executive's plan for an information campaign to direct more children to municipal schools. Hedin inquired about costs, directives for preschools, how marketing could improve academic results, and evaluation methods. Bjuggren responded that the right to choose a school has not been restricted and the education administration will not engage in whitewashing ad campaigns. However, the administration will undertake targeted communication efforts during school choice periods to encourage more guardians to attend information meetings about municipal schools and to strengthen collaboration between schools and preschools, aiming to ensure guardians have the necessary information for an informed school choice.

Tom Hedrup (M) questioned Housing Commissioner Deniz Butros (V) regarding the municipal housing companies' increasing debt, currently around SEK 36 billion with SEK 1 billion in annual interest, asking about future debt development with planned new constructions and potential debt reduction through property sales. Butros responded that the housing companies are well-managed with strong finances, evidenced by low leverage and the city's AAA credit rating, and stated there are no plans to sell properties but rather to protect and expand public housing through efficient new projects and improved project governance.

Therese Lindström (M) raised concerns with Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) about "traffic chaos" in southern Stockholm, citing concurrent roadworks at Gullmarsplan, Hammarby, and Skansbron from 2025-2027 that are causing severe congestion. Strömgren acknowledged the disruptions inherent in major infrastructure projects but assured that the Traffic Office is actively coordinating efforts via systems like GSP to minimize impact, noting Skansbron's temporary one-way status was for safety and efficiency and that full capacity will be restored there by December 2025.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the City of Stockholm make it easier for political youth organizations to participate in city schools, highlighting their important democratic role and suggesting clearer guidelines, support materials, and encouragement for school leadership to invite them and ensure safety. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that support materials already exist and that school principals, according to the Education Act, decide whether political youth organizations may participate in educational activities.

A motion by Jan Jönsson (L) proposes Stockholm implement a data system that alerts when a student is unenrolled without being enrolled elsewhere, and blocks unenrollment until a new school is registered, to detect and prevent children being taken away against their will, often linked to honor-related violence. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing existing city efforts and the need for a national system, but Moderaterna and Liberalerna argue Stockholm should act locally now while awaiting national solutions.

A motion proposes developing Piazza Odenplan, including possibly closing part of Upplandsgatan to traffic, to create a more cohesive and vibrant area. The ruling parties respond that major development is difficult now due to ongoing Roslagsbanan and subway expansions, but the traffic office is planning more greenery and flower arrangements for the square by summer 2026.

Liberal Party members propose Stockholm introduce more summer pedestrian streets and squares, expanding their numbers while ensuring public transport accessibility. They also suggest planning for these new areas involve dialogue with residents, businesses, and other stakeholders. The City Executive Board recommends answering the motion, as the number of such areas is already continuously increasing, and the Traffic Administration Office is already working on public transport accessibility and stakeholder dialogue.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed a motion for the City of Stockholm to launch a public awareness campaign on stroke symptoms and actions using the city's advertising spaces. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, arguing that regions hold primary responsibility for healthcare and disease-specific information, though the city could assist with communication channels if requested by Region Stockholm.

Claes Nyberg and Kristin Jacobsson from the Centre Party propose implementing a mental health screening program in compulsory school, coinciding with existing student health checks. They suggest offering all seventh-grade students a mandatory meeting with a school counsellor to early detect and support mental health issues. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, arguing that the student health services' current preventative work already fulfills this purpose.

Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) has proposed that Stockholm more actively installs green roofs on new municipal buildings and inventories existing properties for potential green roof installations. This initiative aims to improve stormwater management, regulate temperatures, strengthen ecosystems, and beautify the city. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the city already implements green solutions and prefers a holistic approach over mandating green roofs as a standard.

The Center Party has proposed that the City of Stockholm implement interactive, real-time snow removal maps and make this information available as open data via an API, allowing residents to track ongoing and completed snow clearing, sanding, and brine spraying, as well as the location of grit bins, to facilitate safer winter travel. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing concerns regarding information ownership, data quality, and potential risks to snow removal personnel.

Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed developing Högdalstopparna into an attractive outdoor recreation area with improved accessibility, suggesting that the sport committee and other relevant committees investigate enhancements and better public transport links. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that city administrations are already working on a detailed plan for the area, which largely aligns with the motion's intentions.

Councillors Claes Nyberg and Ismail Ali (both Centre Party) proposed Stockholm City investigate opening a language school for students from preschool class to grade 3 with severe language disorders, building on the city's language preschool model with speech therapists and educators working in teams. The City Executive Board suggested rejecting the motion, deeming current support within regular schools sufficient, but several referral bodies and Centre Party members dissented, emphasizing the need for improved, continuous support for these students.

A motion by Leif Söderström (SD) to widen Klarastrandsleden with a third, reversible lane to reduce queues and improve flow was rejected by the City Executive Board. The Board argued that an additional lane would likely not solve traffic problems, goes against the city's goal of reducing car traffic, and would be very costly.

Council member Andréa Hedin (M) has proposed Stockholm introduce "SAO jobs" (study-motivating work-life orientation), a type of long-term part-time job for secondary school students, combined with their schooling. The proposal also suggests replacing 1,000 summer jobs with SAO jobs in 2026. The City Executive Office, the Labor Market Committee, and the Education Committee advise against reducing summer jobs but note that the city already has a budget mandate to pilot SAO jobs at certain schools.

Jonas Naddebo and Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that the city investigate and create junior high school places in northern Bromma, arguing that the lack of nearby schools leads to long commutes and fails to meet the requirements of the Education Act and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the need for junior high school places is already met and student numbers in Bromma are expected to decrease, though permanent facilities for Adolfsbergsskolan will be designed flexibly for future needs.

Hanna Werner (M) proposed restoring the vacant Vanadis Hotell for new uses like community activities, suggesting a property committee investigation into its condition and alternative uses with the sports committee. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that a similar project is already underway for Vanadisbadet and its surrounding buildings, including the former hotel, to convert them into sports facilities such as changing rooms and halls for table tennis, dance, or martial arts. The Moderates on the Board dissented, advocating for approving the motion and exploring opportunities for external actors to establish themselves.

The Liberals, through Jan Jönsson, proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate ways to limit high school changes, especially during the academic year, to improve students' study environment and schools' planning. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing a lack of legal basis for such restrictions, deeming it a matter for the government, and noting that implementation would require agreements with 26 municipalities and over 100 independent school operators in the region.

Liberal Party members propose protecting the 100-hectare Fagersjöskogen forest, located between Farsta and Hökarängen, as a nature reserve to preserve its ecological value, protect wildlife, and provide a green space for South Stockholm residents. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating that the city already has a budget assignment to investigate the conditions for establishing a nature reserve in Fagersjöskogen, meaning the work is already underway.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed that the Culture Committee investigate projecting images onto the City Hall from November to March, similar to Nobel Week Lights. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting this motion, citing concerns about the City Hall's cultural value, the significant investment and operating costs, and the desire to maintain the exclusive nature of Nobel Week Lights.

The Liberals have submitted a motion proposing Stockholm develop a strategy for sustainable construction, focusing on wood and other low-impact materials, and review the city's land allocation policy to prioritize projects with sustainable methods and material choices. The City Executive Board suggests responding that the city's current Climate Action Plan 2030 and Environmental Programme 2030 already serve as a strategy to reduce the construction sector's climate impact.

Councillor Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposed restarting the plan to transform Södertäljevägen into a green city street with new housing, suggesting up to 7,700 homes and decking over Essingeleden and the bus depot to reduce noise and create space. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, citing an existing plan program and deeming extensive decking technically difficult and prohibitively expensive given current economic conditions.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that the City of Stockholm investigates introducing specialized humanities classes, such as philosophy, history, and languages, in municipal upper secondary schools, allowing gifted students in these subjects the same in-depth opportunities as those in math and science. However, the City Executive Board, City Management Office, and Education Committee recommend rejecting the motion, arguing that the need can be met through regular curriculum development and that high eligibility requirements might result in too few applicants.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that the city amend its cooperation agreement with Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) to make the company responsible for school work environment and safety costs, including new access systems, ventilation, and soundproofing, as schools currently bear these expenses, potentially impacting safety and environment during economic hardship. The City Executive Board suggests responding by noting access systems are already under review within an ongoing agreement revision, but a general transfer of all costs to SISAB could result in higher rents for schools and reduced autonomy.

Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (both L) propose in a motion that the City of Stockholm develop an action plan for a "District Boost." This boost would cover all vulnerable areas, with concrete goals and sub-goals for city committees and companies, aiming to counter segregation and crime in areas like Järva, Skärholmen, and Hagsätra-Rågsved. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered by referring to similar ongoing work within the city's existing focus areas and that the budget is the most accurate steering document.

Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) has submitted a motion proposing that the city investigate how school music rooms could be used as rehearsal spaces after school hours, due to a shortage of such venues in Stockholm. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered by stating that a steering group is already working to make school premises, including music rooms, available to associations and cultural life outside of school hours.

A motion from Lovisa Hedin (KD) proposed that the City of Stockholm develop a specific strategy for villa and terraced house areas. This strategy would identify suitable areas for single-family homes and provide guidance for building smaller-scale housing, such as single-family homes or terraced houses, during infill development to preserve the character of these neighborhoods. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered by referring to the city's ongoing work with the comprehensive plan and existing strategies, which already address these issues, making a separate strategy unnecessary.

The Moderates propose measures against illegal street racing, disturbances, and drug dealing on Strandvägen. They suggest the traffic office install speed bumps, speed cameras, noise sensors, and "red waves" in traffic lights, and investigate closing Strandvägen to private traffic at night if issues persist. They also recommend discussions with the police for increased staffing and the reintroduction of municipal security guards in the area.

A motion by Andréa Hedin (M) proposing that Stockholm's municipal primary schools should not provide take-home digital devices for younger students, and that teaching and homework should primarily use books and pens, has been rejected by the City Executive Board. The Board, aligning with the City Management Office and Education Committee, argued against a general ban, citing digital tools' benefits for learning and accessibility, particularly for students with disabilities, and preferring educators to decide on their use. Hedin (M) and other Moderates dissented, advocating for the motion due to concerns about excessive screen time's negative health effects on children and opposing digital homework.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that Stockholm develop a strategy for Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS), including guidelines for accessibility and management, and exploring increased building rights for property owners in exchange for creating high-quality public areas. The City Executive Board, citing existing limitations in legislation and advocating for collaborations where the city retains land ownership, recommends rejecting the motion. The Center Party dissented, arguing the motion's intent was misunderstood and a strategy is needed for more public spaces.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that Stockholm investigate limiting school changes during the school year, similar to Uppsala, allowing changes primarily at term starts to benefit planning and student well-being, except for moves or serious reasons. The City Executive Office and Education Committee note that central school change periods were introduced in autumn 2024, but current law prevents entirely blocking changes during the year for students moving into or within the city. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion due to existing legislation, but Jönsson and other Moderates have reserved, seeking a full investigation by the Education Administration to create clearer rules with fixed change periods and exceptions.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Isabel Smedberg-Palmqvist (both Liberals) propose that Stockholm increase access to art and culture in the city's elderly care homes, citing its positive impact on quality of life and well-being. The City Executive Board will recommend responding to the motion as they believe the city already works structurally to strengthen culture for the elderly. However, the Liberals have entered a reservation, advocating for a clear strategy to ensure a more equitable offering across the entire city.

Liberal party members propose that the City of Stockholm investigate and tighten democratic conditions for rental agreements and cultural grants, aiming to prevent anti-democratic actors from subletting city premises and spreading disinformation. This matter will be addressed by referencing similar ongoing work in the city's 2025 and 2026 budgets, though there is a reservation advocating for stronger approval of the motion and further tightening conditions, particularly regarding the reclaim of funds.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that the City of Stockholm reform its regulations for restaurants, nightclubs, and live music venues to make the city freer and more festive, arguing that current rules hinder development and negatively impact Stockholm's appeal. He suggested simplifying permit processes, removing the dance notification requirement, and allowing year-round simple outdoor seating based on a "Stockholm meter." However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that the city is already working to strengthen the visitor industry and that several proposed changes require national legislation.

Kristin Jacobsson (Centre Party) proposes a pilot project called "Winter Help" to assist elderly residents with snow removal and sanding, aiming to reduce falls and social isolation by employing students or young people registered with Jobbtorg Stockholm. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing concerns about competition law and the fair distribution of such a service.

Two Moderate politicians proposed a pilot project for floating park islands in Stockholm's waters, such as Riddarfjärden or Årstaviken, to boost biodiversity and create new green spaces, drawing inspiration from Copenhagen. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that similar projects are already underway and there's no need to assign further tasks to committees, despite several committees being open to the idea.

Liberal politicians propose that the City Council tasks the Property Committee and Culture Committee with investigating a strategy to coordinate and streamline the city's studio inventory. The aim is to improve working conditions for professional artists and review studio conditions, accessibility, and rent levels, especially as many premises need renovation. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to the existing Studio Strategy 2024–2026, which is already working to create new studio spaces and improve conditions for artists in the city.

A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes that the City of Stockholm strengthen its safety points by increasing their number, improving their geographical spread, securing staffing and equipment, and better informing residents about their function. The City Executive Board suggests the motion be answered by referring to a statement where, among other things, the City Management Office believes the city should await ongoing state investigations before establishing new safety points to avoid unnecessary investments.

Jan Jönsson and Isabel Smedberg-Palmqvist (both L) propose that the city investigate and identify more suitable locations for street art in Stockholm's outer districts to vitalize public spaces, foster local engagement, and strengthen visual identity. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing extensive existing work on street art, though several district councils are positive towards exploring more locations.

Councilor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the City Executive Board express positive support for building the "Eastern Link," a car tunnel completing Stockholm's ring road, arguing it would reduce congestion and improve air quality. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to a statement highlighting that the Eastern Link risks increasing car traffic and displacing other prioritized infrastructure projects with better socio-economic profitability.

Councilman Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed the city implement a building permit robot and explore automating more permit processes to reduce lengthy processing times for businesses and individuals. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion by referencing ongoing digitization and automation efforts across various committees, despite opposition claims that the city's current initiatives lag behind other municipalities.

Gabriel Kroon, Mats Johnsson, and Tapani Juntunen (all SD) propose in a motion that the City Planning Committee and other relevant committees cease planning for approximately 140 residences in Klubbensborgsbacken, Mälarhöjden. The movers argue that the planned development would destroy the area's character, natural land, and ecological balance. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating that the detailed development plan process is following its regular course and new decisions will be made after public consultation feedback is processed; however, the Centre Party and Sweden Democrats have submitted reservations to this proposal.

Liberal politicians proposed Stockholm implement a model for phased detail plan fees to ease cost burdens for construction companies, especially smaller ones, during economic downturns and thereby stimulate housing construction. The City Executive Board recommended rejecting the motion, stating the current continuous invoicing model is effective and that major cost issues for developers stem primarily from broader macroeconomic factors, not the city's planning fees.

The Sweden Democrats proposed halting new housing construction at Lågbron 1 in Långbroparken, arguing that planned townhouses and a new cafe would harm the park and that existing structures should be preserved. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that the detailed development plan process is democratic and transparent, and a previous decision already removed the housing component while retaining the option for a public amenity at the site.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that Stockholm establish "Viva Lyceum Care and Nursing," a training center combining upper secondary and adult education in healthcare, to attract more people to the profession given the significant need for staff. He also suggests that the education administration offer partially funded driving licenses to students completing these programs. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, noting that the city already offers funded driving licenses for these students and that a combined training center could present organizational and pedagogical challenges.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the cooperation agreement between Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) and the education committee be amended, making SISAB responsible for costs related to new access control systems and other school environment investments like ventilation and soundproofing. While several committees and companies support reviewing access system responsibilities, they emphasize that SISAB's costs are ultimately covered by school rents, and shifting these expenses could lead to higher rents and less money for education.

Jan Jönsson (L) moved for an inventory and necessary upgrades of all schoolyards in Stockholm to ensure accessibility for everyone, regardless of functional ability. While the Education Committee supports the idea, they highlight it as a major undertaking requiring allocated funds. The City Executive Board proposes dismissing the motion, referencing ongoing work, a decision opposed by the Moderates and Liberals who wish to approve it.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that Stockholm's vocational programs be placed in popular inner-city high schools currently focused on theoretical subjects, aiming to boost their attractiveness and student numbers. The city's executive office and education committee note that similar initiatives are already underway, citing the establishment of a sales and service program at Bromma Gymnasium.

Gabriel Kroon and Liliane Åkerlund (SD) propose that the City Council tasks relevant committees with investigating how the amphitheater in Rålambshovsparken can be transformed into a public meeting place with amenities like a café, dance stage, and ice rink. The proponents argue that the amphitheater feels unsafe due to its secluded location, and increased activity would enhance security. The City Executive Board proposes dismissing the motion, citing ongoing city efforts to activate the space and improve safety, including an ice rink and a temporary dance floor; several committees have provided similar responses.

Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm conduct its own inquiry into the city's involvement in the operations at the Eolshäll boys' home, where boys were abused from the 1970s to the 1990s. They also suggest the city investigate compensatory measures for victims, inspired by Norway's "rettferdsvederlag" model. The City Executive Board proposes dismissing the motion, stating that a new child welfare inquiry is best conducted at a state level and that it is difficult for the city to assign responsibility.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) proposed establishing a research hub to develop the "academic social services" model and mandate in policy documents that social interventions be evaluated and linked to research, by co-locating social workers and researchers in district social services offices. Commissioner Alexander Ojanne agreed on the importance of research but preferred more flexible collaborations over co-location, recommending the motion be addressed by referring to his statement, thereby not approving the proposal.

Jonas Naddebo and Svante Linusson (both Centre Party) propose a comprehensive review of Valhallavägen, from Roslagstull to Hakberget, to improve traffic solutions and green infrastructure. They suggest relocating parking to garages to create new green spaces and playgrounds, building high-standard separated bike lanes, and enhancing lighting, sanitation, and winter road maintenance for increased safety and well-being.

The Moderates propose that Stockholm city employees should be able to take leave to become foster parents, an idea inspired by Karlskrona Municipality's model to address the shortage of foster homes. However, the city's administrations and committees are skeptical, as Karlskrona's model has not yet recruited any foster homes and Stockholm faces potential increased costs and a lack of skilled personnel in welfare services.

Two politicians from the Centre Party proposed Stockholm explore a pilot project with self-driving cars, specifically with Waymo, to study their functionality in the city regarding safety, climate benefits, and reduced congestion. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating the city is already monitoring developments and participating in relevant networks, making a specific pilot project unnecessary at this time.

Liberal Party members proposed that the City of Stockholm prioritize the renovation and maintenance of culturally significant buildings, explore budget adjustments for this, and investigate creating a special cultural heritage fund. This initiative aimed to protect local associations from having to vacate their premises due to steep rent increases after renovations. Following feedback from several referral bodies, the City Executive Board proposes dismissing the motion, meaning the proposal will not be adopted.

Liberal Party members have proposed the City of Stockholm take stronger action to protect privately owned buildings of cultural-historical significance, including investigating new strategies and tools and strengthening the possibility of compulsory management, citing the Hedvig 7 property in Spånga as an example of a building threatened by decay. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to existing legislation and ongoing work on the new Planning and Building Act, but also states the city's work should focus on strengthening the application of existing tools and coordinating the city's working methods.

Hanna Wistrand (L) proposes Stockholm investigate establishing a multi-purpose track for year-round training, accessible to skiers, cyclists, and para-athletes. This track aims to provide an organized, accessible, and traffic-safe training environment for children, youth, and individuals with disabilities, potentially located near Högdalstopparna or Sjöängen’s BP. While the Sports Committee and City Executive Office are already discussing such a track and suggest answering the motion, the Liberals believe a formal investigation should proceed.

The Liberals proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate a restart grant for sports clubs affected by facility closures during renovations and develop a long-term plan to increase access to sports facilities. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the city is already addressing similar issues like providing replacement times and reviewing rental support, and that a new grant would be difficult to distribute fairly.

André Nilsson (L) has proposed in a motion that the city investigate building an artificial surf wave at Slussen to boost recreation, tourism, and activity in the city center. While various committees and companies confirm technical feasibility, further studies are needed on safety, economics, environment, and Slussen's primary function for water regulation and boat traffic. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered by referencing these statements, meaning the proposal for further investigation will not be approved at this time.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (L) proposed "School Peace," an initiative to improve traffic safety for children's commutes to and from school, requesting dedicated traffic committee funds for improved crosswalks, lighting, paths, and stricter speed limits. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that the "Plan for Safe and Secure School Routes" already addresses these concerns with an annual budget of SEK 15-20 million, implementing measures at 7-10 schools yearly.

Kristin Jacobsson and Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate freeze-drying leftover food in public services, such as schools and nursing homes, to reduce food waste and strengthen food security during crises, including a pilot project in schools and exploring a municipal crisis reserve. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, as the city already actively works to reduce food waste and builds up emergency stocks, and a freeze-drying pilot project would require costly investments.

Councilors Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (L) propose that the city council approve initiatives to improve accessibility and navigability in the urban environment, especially for people with disabilities, by implementing clearer rules and fees for building refuse sacks that obstruct pathways, as well as more effective snow and ice removal. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be responded to by stating that the city is already addressing these issues and that future legislative changes may provide the city with greater opportunities to act against obstacles in public spaces.

Mikael Valier Furtenbach (KD) proposed in a motion that Stockholm introduce special architectural zones in the city center and older districts, such as Gamla stan and older stone cities in the inner suburbs. These zones would regulate the height, volume, material choices, and design language of new buildings to better preserve the city's historical character. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered by stating that current laws and governing documents already provide good opportunities to protect the city's cultural environment while allowing for urban development.

Kristin Jacobsson (C) proposes in a motion that the City of Stockholm actively comply with the Council of Europe's Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings. The motion aims to ensure that potential trafficking victims receive at least 30 days' reflection period for their residence permit, along with a support package of rights. This is intended to aid their recovery and potential cooperation in criminal investigations, as few such residence permit applications currently originate from social welfare committees.

Liberal party members propose that Stockholm City investigate the living conditions and health of older LGBTQI individuals in elder care. They also want the city to require LGBTQI competence in elder care procurements and ensure staff receive continuous training in encounters and LGBTQI issues. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion be addressed by referring to ongoing work on the city's action plan for LGBTQI persons' equal rights and opportunities, as well as existing training programs and procurement requirements.

Councilors Ismail Ali and Claes Nyberg (both C) proposed that the City Council instruct the Preschool Committee to develop a plan enabling all preschools to engage in cultivation as part of their educational activities, emphasizing its importance for learning about nature and sustainable development. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that current governance documents and ongoing initiatives already facilitate gardening in preschools.

Claes Nyberg (C) proposed a motion for Stockholm to introduce sibling priority for preschool placements if a child has a sibling in a primary school organizationally or geographically linked to the preschool, aiming to ease family life and promote equality. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion due to the extensive investigations required and varying geographical conditions, but the Centre Party has entered a reservation, advocating for further investigation.

Hanna Werner (M) has proposed a motion to transform Odenplan into a greener and more vibrant city square, advocating for more trees, flowerbeds, and improved bicycle storage suitable for e-bikes. However, the City Council Executive Committee and several committees believe no further action is needed, as similar projects are already underway or planned, and new subway lines may impact Odenplan in the coming years.

Rasmus Jonlund et al. from the Liberal Party propose in a motion that the City of Stockholm begin planning for a Stockholm Exhibition in 2030, one hundred years after the influential 1930 exhibition. This exhibition would focus on design, architecture, and sustainable urban development, aiming to put Stockholm on the map and serve as a meeting place for the city, business, and civil society. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered by referring to the fact that the city is already investigating the conditions for such an exhibition through Stockholm Business Region AB.

A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed the municipality investigate merging its three housing companies—Familjebostäder, Svenska Bostäder, and Stockholmshem—to potentially boost cost-efficiency, strengthen climate and energy initiatives, and increase housing stock. However, the City Executive Board and the consulted companies deemed such an investigation unnecessary, arguing that these goals are already pursued within current structures, and a merger could raise antitrust concerns and complicate governance.

Jonas Naddebo (Center Party) proposed an "athletic standard" to ensure land for sports facilities is set aside early in urban development projects, such as Frihamnen and Slakthusområdet, and to involve more private actors. However, the City Executive Board suggested rejecting the motion, stating current strategies are sufficient, though the Center Party and Liberals dissented, arguing for a binding standard due to the inadequacy of current tools.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the Exploitation Committee be tasked with finding a long-term, comprehensive solution for the Örnsbergs Kanotsällskap's activities and clubhouse. The club, with 1400 members, has been without a permanent clubhouse since its demolition in Gröndal in 2018 and currently operates under a demolition contract on Reimersholme. However, the City Executive Office believes that committees are already actively addressing this issue and no further directive is needed, recommending that the motion be answered by referring to ongoing work.

Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed that the city investigate how swimming lessons could be offered to adult newcomers through Swedish for Immigrants (SFI) and how sports clubs could be involved, aiming for more adults to learn to swim and engage with community life. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion, partly by citing existing initiatives and upcoming national investigations that may include information on swimming proficiency in social orientation for newcomers.

A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed expanding Hammarbybacken with an extra peak and raising the existing one, using excavated material from the subway expansion, to create more opportunities for winter and summer sports and events. The City Management Office believes there isn't a surplus of material available and that the area's natural values must be considered, suggesting the motion be responded to without further action.

Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed increasing the use of therapy animals in Stockholm's elder care homes to address emotional needs like physical touch and reduce loneliness, particularly for those with cognitive impairment, noting that these animals can lessen anxiety and bring joy. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the proposal, stating that work in this area is already underway and citing practical challenges such as a shortage of trained therapy animals and the need for risk assessments, clear hygiene routines, and allergy protocols.

The Centre Party proposes that the City of Stockholm and Region Stockholm implement a joint routine to ensure that preschool children with autism receive equivalent and coordinated behavioral interventions, as recommended by the National Board of Health and Welfare. The motion also seeks to guarantee that this support continues during transitions between preschool, elementary school, and independent activities, addressing the current significant variation in access to such interventions across the city's districts.

Councilor Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed that the City of Stockholm amend local rules to permit seniors to bring their own alcohol to open meeting places, like Lusthuset Hornstull, to "add a touch of luxury to everyday life." However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, explaining that current alcohol legislation would prohibit the sale of light beverages such as coffee at these venues if they were to allow personal alcohol consumption.
