The Bromma District Council approved the administration's statement regarding the detailed development plan for Alviks strand. This plan proposes transforming Alviks strand into a mixed-use district with approximately 1000 homes, offices, two preschools, squares, parks, streets, and jetties. The administration noted that previous feedback has resulted in fewer homes, the removal of one school, and better preservation of natural values compared to the initial proposal.

The Skärholmen district council reviewed a "balance list" detailing ongoing assignments from the district administration. This list encompassed various matters, such as investigations into social service dogs, the rights of visually impaired individuals in crises, a citizen proposal for a music studio, dog exercise areas in Sätra and Bredäng, and the renovation of Parkleken Vårgården, with reporting dates extending to November 2026.
The Skärholmen District Council considered a request from Restaurant Tarantella at Bredängstorget 23 for temporarily extended serving hours during the men's 2026 FIFA World Cup. The restaurant sought to serve alcohol until 3:00 AM in both the restaurant and outdoor seating area between June 11 and July 14. The District Administration found no social impediments and referred the matter to the Social Administration's licensing unit for a final decision, following consultation with safety strategists, police, and field operations.
The Skärholmen Pensioners' Council noted that bus line 135 stopped serving the Rönnholmsgränd stop a year ago, as part of a planned two-year closure. Despite repeated appeals to Region Stockholm's Traffic Administration and Traffic Committee, no replacement service has been introduced, causing significant difficulties for elderly residents to perform daily errands. The Pensioners' Council had proposed a solution using line 914, but no action has been taken.
The City of Stockholm and Huddinge Municipality have extended their cooperation agreement for 2026-2027. This agreement focuses on jointly developing the regional city center, business, recreation, culture, and security in areas like Kungens kurva-Skärholmen centrum and Vårby-Vårberg. The goal is to coordinate efforts to boost growth, enhance safety, and improve offerings for residents.
The Skärholmen district administration received an internal referral from the City Planning Office regarding a building permit application for a new prefabricated public toilet in Västerholmsparken, Vårberg. The administration had no objections to placing the new toilet at the same location as a previous one.
The Skärholmen district administration supported the detailed development plan for Tempelriddarorden 1 m.fl. in Bredäng, which proposed approximately 200 new rental apartments and commercial premises along Bredängs allé. They emphasized the need for a good urban environment, green spaces, and access to Ängen park, also highlighting safety, gender equality, and the child's perspective as crucial for the area's continued development.
Skärholmen's City District Administration responded to a letter from the Swedish Association of the Visually Impaired regarding crisis preparedness for people with disabilities. The administration stated they have crisis and continuity plans for essential services, but a specific disability perspective is not yet expressed in all plans. They were inspired by the letter to collaborate with the disability council on preparedness issues and are awaiting new legislation concerning shelters and safety centers.
The Skärholmen district administration submitted a consultation response regarding a proposed detailed development plan for Björksätra 1 in Sätra. This plan aims to enable the construction of approximately 220 new rental apartments, including six specialized housing units for individuals with disabilities (LSS), within buildings ranging from six to eight stories. Among other suggestions, the administration proposed that the detailed plan specify the number, species, and placement of trees to ensure the total tree count remains at least as high as before construction.
The City Audit submitted its 2025 annual report for the Skärholmen District Council. The audit found that the council primarily managed its finances satisfactorily, but that operations were partly not fit for purpose and internal controls were partially insufficient. The report included several recommendations for improvements, concerning areas such as foster family placements, fall prevention in elder care, child safety in preschools, and the handling of personal data and payment cards.
The Skärholmen district council has approved the planning of a new group home for six individuals with disabilities, offering round-the-clock staffing, at Stångholmsbacken 1 in Vårberg. This facility, expected to be ready by 2028 with an estimated first-year rent of 1.6 million SEK, will help address the city's shortage of LSS housing.
The Skärholmen District Council approved an update to its delegation of authority, allowing social secretaries to make certain family law decisions previously reserved for higher management. These changes aim to enhance legal certainty and efficiency at the Southwest Family Law unit, including a new provision for paternity investigations. The revised delegation of authority became effective upon adjustment.
The Skärholmen District Council approved the administration's monthly report for May 2026. While the overall forecast predicted a balanced budget for the district administration after various adjustments, deficits were noted in elderly care (€1.5 million), support and services for people with disabilities (€4.3 million), and financial assistance (€1.3 million). These shortfalls were attributed to increased housing costs, personal assistance under the LSS Act, and more households requiring social assistance.
The Skärholmen district council decided to instruct the administration to implement a citizen's budget for 2026. This will involve investing SEK 400,000 to plant fruit trees in the green space below Vårbergsplan, based on residents' votes in an upcoming survey. The trees are scheduled to be planted in the autumn of 2026.
The Skärholmen District Council approved the administration's statement regarding the unsafe modular homes at Sätra IP. These modular homes will be dismantled and reused elsewhere, with the area undergoing development and security boosted by guards, police, and police-supervised public order officers. Additionally, the council is exploring placemaking initiatives, and a new zoning plan for residential housing in the area is expected by Q3 2026.
The Sweden Democrats in Skärholmen proposed an investigation into using social service dogs in elder care, LSS (Support and Service for Certain Disabled Persons), and other operations. The administration responded that animal use is already possible where deemed appropriate, considering hygiene and allergies, thus a separate investigation was deemed unnecessary at this time. The board approved the administration's response.
The Skärholmen district council discussed a proposal from the Moderates (and Sweden Democrats) regarding the new activity requirement for those receiving financial assistance. The administration reported that the preparatory work is led by the labor market and social welfare administrations, with Skärholmen participating in the planning. Jobbtorg Stockholm will be primarily responsible for offering activities, and Skärholmen's administration expects no significant change from current work on individual self-sufficiency plans.
A citizen suggested placing a large sign on the left side of the E4 at the municipal border near Skärholmen to better welcome visitors to Stockholm and include the district. However, the Skärholmen District Council rejected the proposal because the Traffic Administration deemed the existing sign at Fruängen correctly placed, the municipal border is at Bredäng, and signs should be on the right side of the road for traffic safety.
A citizen proposed installing one or more ping-pong tables in Sätradalsparken, Skärholmen, to provide children and adults with a space for play and socializing. However, this agenda item appears to be a notation of the proposal, and the minutes do not indicate what decision was made on the matter at the meeting.
The County Administrative Board inspected the municipality's handling of guardianships and 142 cases in November 2025, revealing serious deficiencies. These included long processing times for annual and final accounts, as well as problems with the supervision of children's funds and record-keeping. The administration has taken this criticism seriously and has begun implementing measures to improve management.
The City Executive Board decided to respond to Region Stockholm's referral regarding public transport changes for 2026/2027. The City of Stockholm largely approved the proposed changes, which include expanded night services, improved cross-connections in Söderort, and an extension of main bus line 6. The Moderates and Liberals submitted a separate statement criticizing previous cuts and calling for further public transport enhancements in various parts of the city.
The City Executive Board decided to forward Jan Jönsson's (Liberals) proposal for a "crafts hub" for small specialists in the construction sector in Stockholm. The proposal was sent to the Labour Market Committee and the Education Committee for their opinions, due by October 26, 2026.
The City Executive Board rejected a Moderate Party motion proposing that home care recipients should have the right to refuse specific staff members without needing to state reasons beyond "felt discomfort." The majority found the current practice for handling dissatisfaction sufficient, arguing a general right would create scheduling and work environment problems, and risk discrimination. The Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party dissented, advocating for the motion's approval to increase individual security and self-determination.
The City Executive Board rejected a motion from Rasmus Jonlund and Isabel Smedberg-Palmqvist (L) to investigate using the empty statue plinth at Slussen for temporary contemporary art, inspired by London's "Fourth Plinth." The decision was justified by Stockholm Art's existing plans for similar temporary art installations in the vicinity, including at Rödbodtorget. Councillor Gulan Avci (L) dissented, advocating for the motion's approval.
The Stockholm City Executive Board decided to respond to a referral from the Ministry of Justice regarding a request from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå). Brå proposed expanding the Center Against Violent Extremism's (CVE) ability to process personal data and strengthening its secrecy protection. This aims to allow CVE to more effectively support municipalities and agencies in preventing violent extremism and school attacks.
The City Executive Board rejected a motion from Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) to investigate implementing the UppSam model to improve school support for children in care. The majority stated that the city already employs similar initiatives like Skolfam and school coordinators. The Moderates and Liberals dissented, arguing that current efforts are insufficient, not equitable for all children in care, and lack follow-up on academic results.
The City Executive Board rejected a motion by Johan Paccamonti (M) to halt the planning work for Myrberget in Bromma and instead protect the green area. The majority argued that the proposed plan contributes to Stockholm's housing goals by providing new rental apartments and LSS housing for individuals with disabilities. The Moderates and Centre Party dissented, demanding either the cessation of the planning work or the prior development of a child impact assessment.
The Swedish Police Authority proposed repealing its outdated general guidelines (RPSFS 2012:6) on blasting operations. The Stockholm City Executive Board decided to respond to this referral with its opinion, thus agreeing with the Police Authority's proposal to remove the old guidelines without replacing them. This means individuals applying for blasting permits will in the future find information on the Police Authority's website, while internal documents will guide their staff.
The City Executive Board approved the first quarterly report for Budget 2026, detailing Stockholm's finances and goal achievement as of April 30th. This included budget adjustments of 130.9 million SEK in reduced net costs and 16.5 million SEK in increased investment expenditures for committees, along with 15.6 million SEK in increased net costs for district committees, partly for summer holiday activities and improved water quality. The Liberals, Centre Party, and Christian Democrats lodged reservations against the decision and presented their own proposals.
The City Executive Board addressed a letter from Jan Jönsson (L) concerning issues in Värtahamnen, a key entrance to Stockholm, including congestion, poor information, and unclear pedestrian paths, especially during peak season. The Liberals demanded improved planning, clearer multilingual information, and better cooperation for the 2026 summer season. The Board decided to respond to the letter by referencing the content of the memorandum presented in the matter.
The City Executive Board decided to submit an opinion to the Administrative Court in Stockholm regarding a legality review of the City Council's previous decision to transfer the property Södermalm 7:89, where the Slussen bus terminal is located. Although the matter was appealed, previous court instances rejected the request for inhibition and did not grant leave to appeal, meaning the City Council's original decision remains valid. However, the City has been given the opportunity to comment on new objections from the appellant.
The City Executive Board approved a new program for events in Stockholm, replacing an older 2015 document. This new program aims to strengthen Stockholm's position as an event city with a focus on value creation, sustainability, and quality of life for residents, and all committees and company boards are to adopt it. The decision was made despite reservations from the Moderates, Sweden Democrats, Liberals, and Centre Party, who criticized the lack of industry involvement, unclear responsibilities, and absence of concrete measures to achieve the goals.
The City Executive Board rejected a Moderate Party motion to make it easier for victims of financial abuse in relationships to secure rental housing through the Housing Agency, by adjusting guidelines so that joint homeownership with an abuser doesn't block access. The Board stated the Housing Agency already considers financial abuse in its priority system, but the Moderate and Centre Parties reserved against this decision.
The City Executive Board has appointed Maria Jansén as the new Director of the Culture Department. Her term will run from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2031, with her salary and employment terms to be determined by the City Manager. This decision means a new leader has been chosen for the city's cultural administration.
The City Executive Board's Economy and Security Committee approved several financial reports, including April 2026 monthly reports showing increased net costs and investments. The committee also approved a new 2 billion SEK loan facility with the Nordic Investment Bank to co-finance the Stockholm's Future Water Supply project and noted the planning assumptions for the 2027–2029 budget.
Farsta District Administration proposes that the District Council submit the administration's statement to the City Executive Board as a response to the referral regarding a revised cultural strategy program for the City of Stockholm. The new program is intended to provide clear direction for the city's future cultural initiatives and specifies, among other things, that district councils are responsible for integrating culture into district development, creating a vibrant local cultural life, and ensuring equitable access to culture for all residents. However, the administration notes that activities within social psychiatry and disability are not mentioned as important target groups in the program.
The Farsta District Council is to submit its statement to the City Auditors regarding the 2025 annual report. The City Auditors found that the council largely conducted its operations effectively and economically satisfactorily, but that its internal governance and control are only partially adequate. Among other things, the council needs to improve follow-up in elderly care, children's safety in preschools, and payment card handling.
Farsta City District Administration proposes that the City District Committee approves the report on the 2025 user surveys concerning disability and social psychiatry. The surveys, covering services like daily activities and various residential supports under LSS and employment services under SoL, generally indicate that users are satisfied with the support they receive. The administration has analyzed the results at the unit level, and identified areas for development will be incorporated into the 2026 operational plans.
A citizen proposal has been submitted to the Farsta City District Administration to organize a "Farsta Culture Camp" in collaboration with local cultural actors. The proposal, inspired by Farsta Sports Camp, aims to offer children various cultural activities in art, dance, music, and theater. The Farsta City District Committee will address the proposal and refer it to the administration for further preparation.
The Farsta District Administration proposes approving new delegation decisions in preparation for a new law on activity requirements for social assistance, effective July 1, 2026. This law will require individuals receiving financial aid for at least three months to participate in activities to improve their chances of employment or studies. The administration suggests that social workers should be empowered to mandate activity participation and to deny or reduce social assistance if participation is withheld.
The Sports Committee approved and submitted a statement in response to Hanna Wistrand's (L) letter concerning the state of tennis in Stockholm. Wistrand, however, issued a separate statement thanking the committee for the response but noted that several key questions remained unanswered, particularly regarding tennis's own facility investments and the city's long-term perspective on this. She concluded that the response did not provide a comprehensive view of how the committee intends to meet the high demand for tennis or how capacity would be developed in the future.
The Sports Committee discussed two proposals from politicians, one concerning the Committee's role in the development of Stockholm's sports facilities and another on creating safe sports facilities. The Committee decided to forward both proposals to the Sports Administration for a response.
Marina Högland, Head of Administration, informed the Sports Committee about upcoming inaugurations of a new club house at Kvarnbacka sports field on June 17th and Kistaängstorget on June 26th. She also noted the Midnattsloppet would be held on August 18th and the Sports Committee meeting on August 25th was cancelled. In response to Hanna Wistrand's (L) question about the splash pool project, Niklas Pettersson from the sports administration stated that four new locations have been added and the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district offered summer jobs for the project.
The Sports Committee approved and submitted the department's response to a letter from Hanna Wistrand (L) concerning a safer cycling path between Ulvsundaplan and Alviksplan. This means the committee has taken a position on the proposal for improved cycling safety in the area.
The Sports Committee approved the administration's report responding to politicians' request to investigate a 25-meter training pool in Hornsberg/Kristineberg. The opposition (C, L, M) issued a special statement criticizing the administration for not providing concrete plans on how swimming capacity will be replaced after Kronobergsbadet closes, despite the ruling majority's public ambitions for new swimming facilities. They argued that the current shortage of pools is already significant and that future population forecasts are not a valid reason to delay investments, especially in the inner city.
The Sports Committee reviewed a proposal for a temporary winter golf hall in Stockholm and decided to reject it, meaning the initiative will not proceed to the City Executive Board. The Moderate Party, Centre Party, and Liberal Party registered dissenting opinions, arguing that the city should support such initiatives to promote public health and integration.
The Sports Committee addressed a motion to establish a leisure library in Norra Djurgårdsstaden. The committee approved the Sports Administration's official statement in response, meaning the motion was not directly granted but the administration's assessment was forwarded to the City Executive Board. The Moderates dissented, wanting the motion approved and the Sports Administration to collaborate with the district administration to establish a leisure library.
The Sports Committee has approved the administration's statement in response to the City Executive Board's referral regarding Stockholm's revised cultural strategy program. The Center Party submitted a separate statement, largely positive but raising concerns that rent clauses for city premises could become a hidden cultural subsidy. They also emphasized the importance of collaboration between sports and culture, especially for children and youth, but stressed that cultural activities in sports facilities must not displace club sports or school sports.
The Sports Committee addressed a motion to "save Stockholm hockey," concerning the situation of elite ice hockey teams Djurgårdens IF and AIK Hockey. The committee approved the administration's statement in response to the referral and forwarded it to the City Executive Board. The opposition (C, M, L) reserved against the decision, wishing to support the motion, while the Sweden Democrats issued a special statement criticizing the slow process and lack of concrete solutions for the sports arena situation.
The Sports Committee approved the administration's response to the City Audit's 2025 annual report. While the report generally found operations to be functioning well, it highlighted recurring shortcomings, particularly in internal controls and grant management, leading the opposition to issue a separate statement criticizing the lack of political leadership in addressing these persistent issues.
The Sports Committee approved a proposal to offer free public transport support to student athletes at the national team level during school hours. The Sports Department was tasked with managing and deciding on applications from sports clubs. While some members (C, L, M) welcomed the decision, they also called for a broader approach to talent development to support more young athletes striving for elite levels, not just those already on national teams.
The Labour Market Committee appointed Sara Ek to receive and investigate reports of care deficiencies within social services, in accordance with Lex Sarah. The Committee also decided to delegate future appointments of Lex Sarah investigators to the Director of Administration. This decision was made unanimously, based on a proposal from chairman Arvid Vikman Rindevall (S).
The Labor Market Committee has approved a plan from the Labor Market Administration to tighten requirements for Swedish language education for immigrants (sfi). The plan outlines how the city will reach, inform, and motivate immigrants to start and complete their sfi studies within a three-year limit, emphasizing coordination between administrations and external collaboration. The Center Party and Moderate Party welcomed the plan but stressed the importance of focusing on the labor market, individual adaptation, and clear follow-up of results to ensure increased completion rates and faster integration into working life.
The City Council has approved the annual report for Adult Education Stockholm 2025, which noted new contracts, more participants, and improved study results, though fewer students in Swedish for Immigrants (sfi) and ongoing challenges with dropouts. Several parties, however, expressed concern over sfi results, particularly the 60% completion rate within the allotted time, and questioned the increased focus on in-house programs over procured education and student choice.
The Labour Market Committee has issued a statement on the "Preschool in Stockholm 2025" report, which assesses the quality and challenges within preschools. The Committee approved the administration's proposal, thereby adopting the report. Member Christina Tufvesson (L) submitted a separate statement noting increased satisfaction with preschools but advocating for more consistent routines to address population registration offenses, boost preschool attendance, improve staff language skills, and establish common assessment criteria for additional funding for children with special needs.
The Labour Market Committee approved its May 2026 monthly report, which projects a balanced budget and investments of approximately 6.4 million SEK as planned. The report also highlighted a year-over-year decrease in unemployment and the number of adults receiving financial assistance due to unemployment in Stockholm.
The Labour Market Committee noted the minutes from the Disability Council meeting on June 10, 2026. Discussions included how the City of Stockholm uses competence-based recruitment to prevent discrimination and ensure objective assessments, as well as concerns about unnecessary skill requirements and the integration of a disability perspective in recruitment. The Council also requested statistics on individuals with disabilities who do not complete upper secondary education and the number of employees with wage subsidies.
At the meeting, questions from the Sweden Democrats regarding unemployment among academics due to AI were addressed, as were questions from the Moderates concerning activity requirements and deficiencies in the labor market committee's timeline. The administration will respond to these questions in writing via email to all committee members.

They instructed the Real Estate Department to apply for leave to appeal with the Supreme Court, meaning the committee wants to pursue the matter to the country's highest court.

The Real Estate Committee has approved a project directive and tasked the Real Estate Department with investigating the conditions for developing the Ågesta fire training facility.

The Moderates and Liberals emphasized the importance of carefully managing risks such as contamination and financing, particularly regarding state cost coverage.
The Real Estate Committee approved the Real Estate Department's statement in response to a letter about the city's market halls. The Moderate Party dissented, proposing instead that the Real Estate Department be tasked with presenting a comprehensive development plan for the market halls, focusing on rental terms, vendor mix, and preserving their unique character, as they believe the city's market halls should not be managed merely as ordinary premises.

The committee approved and submitted the Real Estate Administration's proposed response, thereby supporting the program to promote cultivation in urban environments.
The Real Estate Committee approved and submitted the Real Estate Administration's statement in response to the revised cultural strategic program for the City of Stockholm.

However, Vice Chair Henrik Virro (M) and others issued a special statement welcoming the strategy but emphasizing its overly general nature, stating it needs to be supplemented with concrete maintenance plans per property, an accounting of maintenance backlog, and a clearer follow-up model to avoid becoming another ineffective steering document.
The Real Estate Committee approved and forwarded the office's proposed statement on the auditors' 2025 annual report to the auditors. In a separate statement, the opposition parties (Moderaterna, Liberalerna, and Kristdemokraterna) acknowledged improvements but highlighted significant deficiencies in the committee's governance and control, particularly regarding property care and maintenance, noting large deviations in investment activities and considerable costs for abortive planning, including for Eriksdalsbadet.

The Södermalm District Council reviewed a quality report on Stockholm City's 2025 park playground strategy, which found that playgrounds are appreciated, especially by children from less affluent backgrounds, but access is uneven across the city.

The Södermalm District Council noted the results of the 2026 preschool survey, which showed increased parental satisfaction, especially concerning development and learning where satisfaction rose to 87 percent. However, areas for improvement were identified, including accessibility to preschool management and informing guardians about children's development.

Södermalm's District Council reviewed the City Audit's 2025 annual report, which largely deemed their operations appropriate and financially sound, with sufficient internal governance.

The Södermalm District Council approved the administration's response to a letter from the Liberals concerning the application of new secrecy legislation. While the new law, effective December 1, 2025, allows for greater information sharing between social services, schools, and police for crime prevention, the administration highlighted its broad interpretative scope, which could create uncertainty and deter vulnerable individuals from seeking help. Nevertheless, the administration deemed existing support from the Social Welfare Administration and the City Executive Office's legal department sufficient, and the council concurred.
The Södermalm District Council approved the administration's report responding to a letter from the Moderates, Centre Party, and Christian Democrats. The report detailed operations brought back in-house, including 176 elderly care places, 36 LSS housing places, 28 LSS day activity places, and cleaning services for 40 preschools, park play areas, and open preschools.

The Södermalm District Council reported 199 unfulfilled decisions under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO) for the first quarter of 2026.

The Södermalm District Council approved the May 2026 monthly report, which projected a full-year surplus of SEK 65.0 million, primarily from elder care. However, expenses for social assistance and care homes were expected to rise, while sick leave in the administration was slightly down compared to the previous year.
A citizen proposed an extended alcohol ban on Södermalmsallén, between Timmermansparken and Folkungatrappan, due to insecurity and littering. However, the Södermalm City District Council decided not to implement such a ban. They judged that an alcohol ban likely wouldn't solve the issues, prioritizing instead other safety and crime prevention measures like increased presence of field assistants and security guards, as well as investments in a more pleasant urban environment.
The Södermalm District Council addressed a citizen proposal to implement an alcohol ban at Hornstulls Strand 2-6 between 10 AM and 2 PM.

The aim is to enhance safety for residents and visitors by curbing drug abuse-related issues that create insecurity and to enable more effective police intervention.
The Södermalm District Council considered a citizen proposal for an ice rink in Lilla Blecktornsparken. Due to the park's slope, an ice rink isn't feasible there, but the administration suggested exploring an ice rink at Stora Blecktornsparken's playground, costing 15,000–20,000 SEK per season starting winter 2026/2027. The council decided to use the administration's statement as their response to the proposal.
The Södermalm District Council considered 15 citizen proposals submitted in May 2026.

The decision has been approved and will be announced once the County Administrative Board of Stockholm grants its approval.
The City Council decided to amend local public order regulations, removing the dog exercise area in Trekanten to establish a biotope protection area due to its high natural value. The decision was approved, though the Centre Party and Christian Democrats reserved their position, advocating for the dog area's retention. The new regulations will be proclaimed once approved by the County Administrative Board.
The City Council decided to proceed with stage 1 of the Vårbergsvägen project, aiming to transform Vårbergsvägen into an urban street and enable approximately 1500 new homes. This means investigations and design work for the entire project will continue, and construction of the first stage can begin. Stage 2 of the project is paused until market conditions improve, while the Sweden Democrats dissented, proposing that green areas should remain untouched instead.
The City Council decided to proceed with the Blackebergs Torg project, despite increased costs and a delayed schedule. The project includes building around 120 homes and new community services, such as a health center. Though the budget nearly doubled from 42.6 to 79 million SEK and it's no longer deemed profitable, the project was approved to develop the area and meet housing targets, with the Sweden Democrats formally dissenting.
The City Council approved a letter of intent between the Land and Exploitation Committee and Ports of Stockholm AB.

The Centre Party lodged a reservation against the decision.
The City Council approved S:t Erik Markutveckling AB's acquisition of Magasin 5 in Frihamnen from Stockholms Hamn AB.

The City Council approved an implementation agreement for a depot and its connections in the Älvsjö industrial area, and also approved the sale of the Leverantören 2 property for approximately 145 million SEK. This decision facilitates the new subway line between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö, which is essential for the city's housing development plans.
The City Council approved an amendment to the land development agreement for Årstafältet.

The City Council decided that the Labor Market Committee will be responsible for providing activities to individuals receiving financial assistance, should the Riksdag establish a national activity requirement. The aim is to enhance these individuals' chances of finding employment and becoming self-sufficient. This decision takes effect contingent upon the Riksdag's resolution.
The City Council decided to approve the implementation of a project to construct a temporary sports hall on Dalhagen's ball field in Husby.

The hall is expected to be completed by mid-2027 and will cost over 50 million Swedish kronor.
The City Council approved a revised plan to renovate and develop Kampementsbadet, authorizing the Real Estate Committee to proceed with option C for a major renovation and expansion to facilitate more swim instruction, exercise, and recreation.

Some members dissented, raising concerns about delays and suggesting alternative construction methods.
The City Council adopted an action plan for a gender-equal Stockholm by 2030, aiming to provide all Stockholm residents with equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender.

Several parties entered reservations against the decision, citing reasons such as the plan being too general and lacking clear, measurable goals.
The City Council approved the Action Plan for Children's Rights 2030, which aims to strengthen the city's efforts regarding the rights and influence of all children.

The Moderates, Sweden Democrats, Liberals, and Centre Party formally dissented from the decision.
The City Council decided to lower fees for preschools, after-school care, and irregular hours care starting July 1, 2026. This adjustment aligns with new national rules introducing an income disregard, meaning the first SEK 10,000 of income will no longer be included when calculating fees. This decision is contingent upon the government and the Swedish National Agency for Education approving the new national levels.
The City Council approved new guidelines for child safety in the city's municipal preschools, replacing the old ones. Several parties dissented, offering their own proposals regarding issues such as extended background checks and handling honor-related violence.

The City Executive Board will consider a motion by Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposing that the Sports and Real Estate Committee be tasked with expanding regional cooperation on all sports facilities to increase physical activity among children and youth, citing a lack of facilities. The presenting City Commissioner, Jan Valeskog, suggests the City Council reject the motion, arguing that existing collaborations are in place and the city is already actively building new facilities and engaging with neighboring municipalities, especially for niche sports. Opposing members from the Moderate Party, Liberal Party, and Centre Party propose approving the motion and conducting an inquiry to address challenges arising from differing regulations and fees between municipalities.
Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the City of Stockholm develop clear guidelines and a simpler permit process for sponsorship and naming rights at municipal sports facilities, aiming to help sports clubs like Spånga Ishockeyklub secure sponsorship revenue.

A motion from Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate the long-term need for and funding of leisure activities for children and young people with disabilities, arguing that their opportunities are limited and unevenly distributed.

Councillor Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed in a motion that Stockholm City should ensure all football pitches have toilet access, and larger facilities also have changing rooms, to promote equality and increase girls' participation in football. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing ongoing work to build toilets and investigate making changing rooms available, alongside expanding cooperation with schools to utilize their facilities.
A motion suggests Stockholm City should investigate using the work tunnels in the New Östberga Tunnel as shelters or protected spaces for residents.

The city awaits a national process and requirements before it can inventory and potentially adapt such spaces.
A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed expanding regional cooperation on all sports facilities through the Sports Committee and Real Estate Committee, aiming to increase physical activity among children and youth by addressing facility shortages that limit organized sports.

A motion suggests Stockholm City investigate the need for and funding of leisure activities for children and youth with disabilities, as current offerings are unevenly distributed across the county. The motion proposes stronger inter-municipal cooperation to ensure all children have access to regular leisure activities, but the City Executive Board recommends rejecting it, citing existing collaborations like "Fritid för alla" and the Association of Greater Stockholm's Culture and Leisure Managers (FSKF).
A motion by Therese Lindström (M) proposed permanently opening a northbound car lane on Skanstullsbron due to congestion caused by temporary changes on Skansbron.

A motion from Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposed that the municipality investigate whether the work tunnels in the New Östberga Tunnel, currently under construction by Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB for storm water management, could be used as shelters or protected spaces. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that it is the government's responsibility to identify where shelters are needed, and that the city will await the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency's requirements and funding before initiating further investigations.
A motion by Therese Lindström (M) proposes permanently opening a northbound lane for cars on Skanstullsbron, citing congestion caused by the rebuilding of Skansbron which directs northbound traffic there. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, arguing that an extra lane wouldn't improve flow due to capacity limits at the Skanstull intersection and would negatively impact pedestrian and cyclist safety and movement.
A motion proposed transforming Sergels torg into a greener, safer "Sergelpark," potentially by converting the roundabout to a T-junction and enclosing the space under the fountain. However, the City Executive Office and several committees advised against a major investigation, citing ongoing greening efforts, high cultural-historical values, technical difficulties with planting on suspended structures, and the high costs of recent renovations. The Red-Greens share the ambition but find large-scale reconstructions impractical, opting instead for simpler measures like raised plant beds.
A motion by Therese Lindström (M) proposes that Stockholm introduce more mobile tree plantings with seating in areas where in-ground planting is not possible, such as streets and squares, to create greener, more pleasant urban environments with more meeting places. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by pointing out that similar work is already underway in the city, including tree planting initiatives and a new tree policy.
A motion by Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposes the city ensure student housing is used correctly, not sublet without permission, or retained post-studies, to free up residences for new students. The motion suggests municipal housing companies implement systematic controls, new routines for detecting illegal subletting, and information campaigns. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that municipal housing companies already actively conduct study checks and address unauthorized subletting, rendering new directives unnecessary.
Council members Claes Nyberg and Ismail Ali (C) proposed that the Education Administration initiate idea-driven public partnerships with associations offering homework help in socioeconomically disadvantaged and overcrowded areas, and that the city provide premises for this. The aim is to reduce educational disparities for children who struggle to find a quiet place to study at home. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that homework assistance is the school's responsibility and that idea-driven partnerships are not the appropriate form of collaboration, despite valuing non-profit contributions. Jonas Naddebo (C) dissents, advocating for the motion's approval, arguing that current efforts are insufficient and collaboration with civil society is crucial.
Moderates in Stockholm propose the city develop a strategy for "pocket parks" and green walls to boost greenery and liveability. This would involve identifying sites for small parks and installing more green walls. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion, but without creating a dedicated strategy, as similar initiatives like converting paved areas into green spaces and micro-parks are already underway within city administrations.
Councillors Therese Lindström and Theréz Randquist (M) proposed a pilot beekeeping project to develop a strategy for strengthening biodiversity and pollinator habitats on city properties. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the city's existing action plan for biodiversity and ongoing work already address these issues, making a separate strategy or pilot project unnecessary.
Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposed that Stockholm City investigate using its properties and work tunnels as shelters to strengthen civilian protection. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that the state, through the Agency for Civil Defense, is responsible for establishing shelters, and that the city is already working to enhance civil preparedness.
Council member Dennis Wedin (M) proposed establishing a new accessibility council to enhance cycling safety in Stockholm by improving signage, increasing connectivity between the inner and outer city, and adding 10,000 new bicycle parking spots. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the proposal, stating that the city already addresses these issues through existing processes and its Bicycle Plan, making an additional accessibility council unnecessary.
A motion proposed that Stockholm introduce "cultural sound zones" to protect and develop the city's cultural and entertainment life, especially in areas like Slakthusområdet, allowing higher noise levels even at night. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that current work is already underway and that such zones are not feasible under existing environmental laws, which must be applied uniformly across the city.
The Moderates propose that all municipal primary and secondary schools in Stockholm be locked around the clock to unauthorized individuals. This proposal, put forth by Johan Nilsson (M), aims to enhance school safety, as unauthorized persons can currently freely access many schools during the day. The measure seeks to create a more secure environment for students and staff.
Councillor Andréa Hedin (M) is questioning Councillor for Social Services and Security Alexander Ojanne (S) regarding care interventions for children and young people, citing serious deficiencies in public care for placed children highlighted by IVO and city audits.

Jonas Naddebo (C) is questioning Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren on how to improve access to saunas and bathing in Stockholm, as the Centre Party believes increased bureaucracy has led to fewer new saunas and many denied building permits.

Per Rosencrantz (M) questioned Emilia Bjuggren (S), Commissioner for Education, Labor Market, and Schools, regarding how the city addresses declining birth rates and an aging population, and its impact on school planning and the housing market.

Bjuggren responded that the city closely monitors demographic trends, factoring them into budgets and forecasts, and aims to ensure efficient welfare services, be an attractive employer, and build affordable housing to meet these challenges.
Moderate municipal council member Andréa Hedin has questioned School Commissioner Emilia Bjuggren (S) regarding the slow implementation of social media restrictions on school devices and why access might differ or be unrestricted outside class hours. Bjuggren responded that a filter for social media and inappropriate websites on school computers and tablets is planned for autumn 2026. While no decision on differentiated access exists, an investigation will consider varying needs between compulsory and upper secondary schools, with the premise that students should not access social media during school hours, and blocking after class will also be explored.
Dennis Wedin (M) has interpellated Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding the handling of approximately 10,000 closed reports via the "Tyck till" app after January's snowfall. He questions why these reports were closed without individual assessment, whether this reflects a lowering of expectations, and what the 10,000 reports contained, as this affects Stockholmers' experience of inadequate snow removal and concerns for safety.
The Moderates are questioning the future of Hovet and a planned ice hockey project in Tallkrogen, criticizing the failed land allocation in Tallkrogen for Djurgården Hockey which creates uncertainty for the club.

Dennis Wedin (M) questioned traffic commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) on why Stockholm does not measure and publicize ice thickness on popular spots like Årstaviken and Riddarfjärden, unlike other municipalities, citing safety and service concerns for residents. Strömgren responded by emphasizing personal responsibility and existing information campaigns, arguing that ice thickness fluctuates rapidly and measurements could provide a false sense of security.
Annika Elmlund (M) questioned elder and culture commissioner Torun Boucher (V) regarding the requirements for cinemas receiving financial support from Stockholm City, in light of Biograf Zita's stance against Israel, calling itself an "Apartheid free zone." Boucher responded that the city supports activities compliant with democratic conditions and Swedish law, but respects artistic freedom and the "arm's length principle." She concluded that Biograf Zita had not violated any laws or city requirements and saw no need to revise cultural support guidelines, emphasizing freedom of speech and artistic freedom.
Emelie Wassermann (SD) questioned Urban Development and Sports Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) regarding Svedmyrabadet's closure since autumn 2024, citing a lack of renovation plans or alternative swimming despite earlier promises. She pressed for a decision timeline for Svedmyrabadet, a plan for replacement facilities given Sandsborgsbadet's impending renovation, and why alternatives are currently missing. Valeskog confirmed Svedmyrabadet closed in autumn 2024, with a future assessment due in the first half of 2026, and acknowledged Sandsborgsbadet is currently serving as a replacement but also requires extensive renovation. The Real Estate Committee has initiated a takeover of Sandsborgsbadet, and evacuation plans will be investigated considering other existing and new pools.
Dennis Wedin (M) has questioned traffic commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding the reinstatement of an investigation into covering Nynäsvägen, arguing that the previous study was halted prematurely despite the road's significant noise and pollution for residents. Strömgren responded that comprehensive financial analyses between 2020-2025 deemed a cover economically unfeasible, adding that the city aims to reduce car traffic through investments in walking, cycling, and public transport to improve the environment along the road.
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 its goal attainment, and when all Stockholm students will have access. Ojanne responded that the city is committed to re-engaging students with high absenteeism, that funding exists to make SST+ permanent and gradually implement it in focus areas, and that a new, integrated SST and SST+ model is being piloted for evaluation in summer 2026 before wider rollout.
Tom Hedrup (M) questioned Housing Commissioner Deniz Butros (V) regarding the municipal housing companies' increasing debt, which totals approximately SEK 36 billion, expressing concern it could negatively impact welfare and investments and asking about plans to reduce it. Butros responded that the housing companies are well-managed with strong finances and their debt does not pose a risk to the city's credit rating, emphasizing they operate on business principles, build new homes without burdening taxpayers, and actively work to optimize operations and projects to maintain financial health, with potential sales of strategic properties but no sales or conversions of existing homes.
Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned Housing Commissioner Deniz Butros (V) on Stockholm's housing policy, challenging the proposal to densify villa areas and build more rental apartments in areas dominated by condominiums, arguing it threatens green spaces and ignores residents' desire for villas. Butros responded that the Red-Green majority aims to create a mixed Stockholm to combat segregation and inequality, with rental, condominium, and detached housing coexisting in all districts, while also protecting nature.
Dennis Wedin (M) proposes that the City of Stockholm develop clear rules and simpler procedures for sponsorship and naming rights at municipal sports facilities, citing instances where clubs like Spånga Ishockeyklubb lose sponsorship revenue due to unclear regulations.

The City Council is set to consider a motion by Jan Jönsson (L) proposing that Norvikshamnen become a hub for climate-smart logistics. The motion suggests an eco-bonus for companies using sea transport instead of trucks, a review of fairway fees to favor eco-friendly short-sea shipping, and temporary reductions in Norvik’s port fees to attract more shipping lines. The City Executive Board recommends that the motion be addressed by referring to the opinion, meaning the proposals are not approved but the city's existing efforts to shift freight transport to waterways are highlighted.
Council member Dennis Wedin (M) proposes transforming Sergels torg into a greener and safer "Sergels Park," featuring more outdoor dining, play areas, and a park between Kulturhuset and Hötorgsskrapan, potentially involving a T-junction and enclosing the space under the fountain. However, the City Executive Office, the Development Department, and the Traffic Department advise against major reconstruction, citing ongoing projects, high costs from recent renovations, technical limitations of the existing structure, and the site’s high cultural-historical value.
The Liberals proposed exploring the construction of a full-sized football pitch in Bellevueparken, Vasastan, to address the inner city's lack of sports facilities. However, multiple committees, including the Land and Sports Committees, advised against this, citing the park's location within the National City Park and its high natural and cultural heritage values. Such development would necessitate felling protected trees and re-routing roads, leading the City Executive Board to recommend dismissing the proposal based on these objections, halting further investigation into that specific site.
Councilman Jan Jönsson (L) proposes an eco-bonus for companies using sea freight over trucks, advocating for reduced fairways fees for eco-friendly shipping and temporary cuts to Norvik port fees to attract more shipping lines. This aims to establish Norvik as a hub for climate-smart logistics, shifting goods from road to sea and rail to cut emissions and ease road congestion. The City Executive Board suggests responding positively to the general idea of shifting goods to water, noting the city's ongoing work through its freight traffic plan and existing environmentally-tiered port fees, but cautions that a general reduction in port fees could negatively impact Ports of Stockholm's business operations.
A motion by Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that the Education Administration investigate offering "evening hangouts" where schools remain open as safe, free meeting places, particularly in areas with limited recreational options, and explore collaborations with civil society to run these. However, the City Executive Office, the Education Committee, and the Järva District Council advise against this investigation, believing the city already provides sufficient leisure activities and meeting places for children and young people.
A motion from the Liberal Party proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate building a full-sized football pitch in Bellevue Park, Vasastan, citing a lack of sports facilities, especially in the inner city, and the inadequacy of the existing 7-a-side pitch. However, several boards and administrations deemed a full-sized pitch unsuitable for Bellevue Park due to its location within the National Urban Park, high cultural heritage values, significant elevation differences, and the need to fell protected trees; instead, they recommend exploring alternative locations in the northern inner city and Kungsholmen.
Council member Jan Jönsson (L) proposed an eco-bonus for companies using sea transport instead of trucks, advocating for reduced fairway fees for eco-friendly shipping and temporary harbor fee reductions in Norvikshamnen to shift freight from road to sea. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the proposal, citing ongoing work and advising against general harbor fee reductions which would negatively impact Stockholm Hamn AB's business operations.
The motion proposes that the Education Administration investigate the possibility of introducing "evening open school" or "evening hangouts" for students, aiming to create safe and free meeting places, particularly in underserved areas, and explore collaborations with civil society. While several referral bodies, including the City Executive Office and the Education Committee, agree on the importance of meaningful leisure, they advise against an investigation given that similar initiatives are already in place.
A motion by Johan Paccamonti (M) proposes halting development at Solviksängen in Bromma, incorporating the area into the Ålstensskogen and Storskogen nature reserve, and building new homes in Bromma on already developed land. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating that the project aligns with the city's master plan and budget mandate to build more rental apartments in southern Bromma, and that the detailed development plan process will address natural values and other interests.
The Liberals proposed an investigation into constructing a full-sized football pitch in Bellevue Park, citing a lack of sports facilities in inner-city Stockholm. However, multiple committees found the park unsuitable due to its cultural and natural values and its location within the National City Park. While the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion based on these findings, the Liberals have filed a reservation, advocating for a broader investigation to include alternative sites like Haga BP.
A motion from Johan Paccamonti (M) proposed stopping development at Solviksängen and instead incorporating the area into the Ålstensskogen and Storskogen nature reserve, arguing that new construction in Bromma should occur on already developed land to protect green spaces. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the project, involving approximately 50 new rental apartments and a tennis hall, aligns with the city's comprehensive plan to address housing needs and increase the variety of housing options in southern Bromma.
Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that the Education Administration investigate offering evening hangouts for students, particularly in areas lacking safe meeting places, and that the city explore civil society collaboration. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting an investigation, citing existing youth centers and school facility access for associations, though Moderaterna and Centerpartiet disagree, advocating for the inquiry to find new ways to engage more children and youth.
Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the City of Stockholm develop clear rules and a simpler process for sports clubs to sponsor their facilities with names and advertising, helping clubs like Spånga Hockey gain revenue. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing ongoing work on similar guidelines and legal complexities in allowing individual clubs to sell naming rights for municipal facilities used by many.
Councillor Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposed that all football pitches in Stockholm should have toilet access, with larger facilities also including changing rooms, to foster a safer and more equal sporting environment, especially for girls. While several departments and sports clubs support this goal, noting that work is already underway to add these amenities and explore shared use of school facilities, the City Executive Board suggests responding by referencing this ongoing work. The opposition, however, wants the motion fully approved and a needs assessment conducted.
A motion by Johan Paccamonti (M) proposes halting development at Solviksängen in Bromma and incorporating the area into the nature reserve for Ålstensskogen and Storskogen, arguing that Bromma's green spaces should be protected and new housing built on already developed land. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating the project aligns with the city's master plan and budget mandate to create more rental housing in southern Bromma, and that the site is deemed suitable for housing after weighing its natural values.
Jan Jönsson and André Nilsson (both Liberals) proposed that Stockholm investigate opening the Stockholmshusen model to more actors, including private developers, to increase construction speed and lower costs. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by pointing out that the model has already been opened to increased competition via a dynamic purchasing system since 2021, which has raised the number of qualified contractors from three to twelve.
Sara Svanström (L) proposes that Stockholm map dangerous pedestrian crossings, prioritize them, and implement measures to enhance safety for pedestrians, especially children, the elderly, and people with disabilities, such as improved lighting, clearer markings, and raised crossings. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing the Traffic Committee's ongoing work on similar issues, but the Liberals reserve their position, believing the work needs to be intensified and more clearly prioritized.
Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (L) proposed Stockholm develop a digital map function to facilitate commercial deliveries by providing businesses and transporters with real-time information on loading zones, roadworks, and traffic disruptions. The City Executive Board suggested the motion be addressed by referring to existing platforms and strategies, but Jan Jönsson (L) entered a reservation, arguing that the city's current solutions do not meet the retail sector's need for comprehensive real-time information.
Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that all schools in Stockholm be equipped with shower stalls, as many students feel unsafe in changing rooms, partly due to the risk of covert photography, leading them to avoid showering after sports. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion be responded to by noting that the Education Committee is already reviewing how to make showers and changing rooms safer, with shower stalls being one of the potential solutions under investigation.
The Liberals propose a strategy to keep rents for assembly halls, association premises, and community centers low and sustainable, arguing that high rents threaten civil society. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing ongoing work like an investigation into the Culture Committee acting as a primary tenant, and the city's inability to control rents from private landlords.
Councillor Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed establishing a long-distance shooting range for hunters and to strengthen preparedness, but the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion. This is due to the difficulty of finding a suitable site within the densely populated city, citing significant land requirements, safety distances, noise concerns, and conflicts with existing recreation and housing plans. Several administrations, including the City Management Office and Environment Department, concur, emphasizing the lack of large continuous areas and potential noise impact on surrounding areas.
A motion by Anders Edin (SD) proposes to protect Carl Bonde's forest in Hässelby from development and designate it as a municipal nature reserve, addressing local concerns about the recreational forest being built upon. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered by referring to ongoing work on a strategy for nature protection and a new comprehensive plan, believing that a balanced approach to conservation and development is achievable in the area.
A motion by Andrea Hedin (M) suggested Stockholm City LGBTQ+ certify home care services and collaborate with interest groups to improve treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals in elder care, citing reports of inadequate treatment and concerns among older LGBTQ+ individuals about not being themselves at home. However, the City Executive Board proposes dismissing the motion, stating the city already addresses these issues through training and a forthcoming action plan for LGBTQI+ rights.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed investigating floating football pitches in Stockholm, a concept generally viewed positively as a creative solution to sports ground shortages. However, several boards and companies highlighted significant challenges regarding cost, operation, safety, accessibility, and environmental impact. The City Executive Board now suggests the City Council reject a specific investigation, opting instead to address the proposal within the existing framework for sports facilities.
A motion by Jan Jönsson et al. (L) proposed that Stockholm City investigate ways to improve and simplify conditions for associations, aiming for the best associational climate in Sweden, specifically by mapping obstacles. The City Executive Board suggests responding by referring to ongoing and planned work, such as an associational policy for 2026. However, the Liberals reserve their opinion, wanting the motion approved with a clearer investigation.
Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposed a pilot project for a citizen budget, based on the SKR model, to give residents greater influence over municipal funds. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting the city already implements citizen budgeting and has completed 17 projects between 2023 and 2025.
Annika Elmlund and Christoffer Hökmark (M) have proposed the introduction of "safety kiosks" in Stockholm, drawing inspiration from Tokyo and Frankfurt, to create manned hubs for security guards and field assistants to enhance safety and collaboration. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, as several committees and administrations emphasize the benefits of mobile and flexible safety work over a general need for stationary kiosks.
Liliane Åkerlund (SD) has proposed year-round use of the Rålambshovsparken amphitheater for spontaneous sports, suggesting a combined dance and ice rink to combat inactivity and social isolation. The City Executive Board recommends responding by noting that the Kungsholmen District Council already constructs a dance floor and floods the area for ice skating when weather permits, and this work will continue.
Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm should facilitate political youth organizations' participation in schools, by developing clear guidelines and support materials and urging schools to actively invite these groups to promote democratic engagement. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that support materials already exist and that the School Act designates principals as the decision-makers for allowing political organizations into schools.
Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that Stockholm implement a system to detect abducted students. This system would trigger an alert if a student is deregistered from a school without being enrolled in a new one, and would prevent deregistration until new enrollment is confirmed. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that the city already actively works to identify absent students and a national system is currently under investigation.
The Liberals proposed developing Piazza Odenplan into a greener, more inviting space, including exploring a partial closure of Upplandsgatan to create a continuous square. The City Executive Office deems this infeasible until the Roslagsbanan extension is complete, though the Traffic Office plans to add more greenery to the square by summer 2026.
Liberal council members proposed Stockholm expand its summer pedestrian streets and squares, ensuring public transport access and resident/business dialogue. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, as the city is already continuously adding summer pedestrian streets (9 new ones by summer 2026, totaling 64 locations), and already works to ensure public transport accessibility and dialogue with affected parties.
Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed that the Traffic Committee be tasked with creating an information campaign about stroke using the city's public advertising spaces, in collaboration with other relevant committees, citing positive results from a similar campaign in Kalmar County. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that healthcare is primarily the responsibility of the regions, although the city could assist with information channels if requested by Region Stockholm.
Claes Nyberg and Kristin Jacobsson (Center Party) proposed a mental health screening program in Stockholm's compulsory schools, offering all 7th-grade students a mandatory meeting with a school counselor to detect and support early mental ill-health. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, citing existing preventative work by school health services, but Jonas Naddebo (C) dissents, arguing current routines are insufficient.
Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed to the city council that Stockholm should more actively promote green roofs, suggesting they become standard for new city-built properties, existing city properties be inventoried for installation, and a strategy be developed to assist private owners. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion for green roofs as a default, arguing that sustainable urban development measures should instead be chosen based on a comprehensive assessment of each site's specific conditions.
Center Party members proposed that Stockholm City introduce interactive, real-time snow removal maps with open API access to help residents plan winter travel and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion as it stands, citing concerns about data ownership, quality, and potential impacts on snowplow operators' work environment.
Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed an investigation into developing Högdalstopparna into an attractive outdoor recreation area with improved accessibility, including a multi-use track, and to explore public transport options to the site. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by noting that several committees and administrations are already developing Högdalstopparna, partly through a detailed plan, and that public transport is primarily a regional matter.
Councilors Claes Nyberg and Ismail Ali (C) proposed investigating the need for a language school for F-3 students with severe language disorders, aiming to improve their primary school readiness and provide continuity after language preschool, with speech therapists working alongside teachers. However, the Executive Board suggests rejecting this proposal, stating that existing schools already offer adequate support, making a new municipal language school unnecessary.
Jan Jönsson (L) proposed Stockholm implement an action plan for "grey zone children"—students with cognitive difficulties who struggle to meet school goals but don't qualify for adapted schooling. He argued that these students receive good support in compulsory school but often lack it in upper secondary school, leading to dropouts and social exclusion. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing the city's existing, structured, and continuously developing work for students requiring special support, deeming a separate action plan unnecessary.
Leif Söderström (SD) moved to widen Klarastrandsleden to three lanes, including a reversible middle lane, and to investigate a separate parallel cycle path, aiming to reduce congestion and improve accessibility. However, the City Executive Board proposes rejecting the motion, arguing that more lanes conflict with the goal of reducing car traffic, would merely shift bottlenecks rather than solve traffic problems, and would incur significant costs.
Councilor Andréa Hedin (M) proposed that Stockholm introduce "SAO jobs" (study-motivating work-life orientation), a new year-long employment model for secondary school students combining school with work experience, to be funded by replacing 1,000 summer jobs in 2026. The City Executive Board, however, recommends rejecting the reduction of summer jobs, stating that SAO jobs will already be piloted in 2026 and cater to a different target group than summer jobs.
Jonas Naddebo and Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that the city promptly investigate and create new secondary school places in northern Bromma, for example by renovating Bällstalundsskolan or expanding Mariehällsskolan, arguing that current students travel too far, violating proximity principles. However, the Municipal Board proposes rejecting the motion, stating that the need for secondary school places in the area is already met and the total number of students in Bromma is expected to decrease significantly.
Hanna Werner (M) proposed that the City Council instruct the Real Estate Committee to investigate the condition of Vanadis Hotell and, with the Sports Committee, explore alternative uses for the empty premises, unconstrained by the current zoning plan. The majority of committees and the presenting City Commissioner recommend rejecting the motion, citing ongoing renovation and development work for sports purposes, with empty spaces planned for sports activities like changing rooms, table tennis, dance, or martial arts. The Moderates, in a reservation, propose approving the motion to also consider external actors such as gyms and cafes.
Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the city investigate ways to limit high school transfers, arguing that frequent changes during the semester create student anxiety, disrupt their studies, and complicate school planning. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion by stating there's no legal basis for such restrictions, and the matter should instead be addressed by the government.
Liberal party members propose protecting Fagersjöskogen as a nature reserve to preserve its ecological value and biodiversity, while securing it as a green space for Söderort residents. The City Executive Board suggests responding that the city is already investigating the conditions for a nature reserve in Fagersjöskogen, and is developing a vision for urban development in Fagersjö and Rågsveds Allé.
Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed the Culture Committee investigate year-round or extended large-scale projections on Stockholm City Hall, similar to Nobel Week Lights. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, citing the City Hall's high cultural value making a permanent installation unsuitable, alongside significant investment and operating costs.
The Liberals have proposed that the City of Stockholm develop a strategy to promote sustainable construction, with a focus on wood and other low-impact materials, and review its land allocation policy to prioritize such projects. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the existing climate action plan and environmental program already provide a comprehensive strategy to reduce the construction sector's climate impact, and further documents could create confusion.
Councilman Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed resuming the planning for Södertäljevägen, aiming to transform it into a green urban street, extend the inner city, and enable up to 7,700 new homes by decking over Essingeleden and the SL bus depot. The City Executive Board suggests responding that the project is paused due to financial difficulties, but they share the ambition to develop the area and planning will resume when conditions improve.
Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate introducing specialized humanities classes, such as philosophy and history, in high schools to offer depth for students with particular interest, mirroring existing options in math and science. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting this motion, deeming such an investigation unnecessary as the matter can be addressed through ongoing curriculum development efforts.
Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the city revise its cooperation agreement with SISAB, making the company responsible for the costs of schools' work environment and safety, such as access control systems, ventilation, and soundproofing, as school safety is currently impacted by their finances. The City Executive Board suggests answering the motion, agreeing on the importance of electronic access systems, but is hesitant to broadly transfer all financial responsibility for work environment and safety due to potential rent increases and reduced autonomy for schools.
Liberals Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén proposed a "Neighborhood Boost" action plan for all vulnerable areas in Stockholm, aiming to combat segregation and crime with clear goals for all involved city departments and companies, not just in Järva but also in areas like Skärholmen and Hagsätra-Rågsved. The City Executive Board and most district councils rejected the motion, arguing that existing city initiatives and budget processes already address these needs. However, the Liberals filed a reservation, maintaining that a clear, unified, and governing plan for long-term work is still lacking.
Councilor Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) proposed that the city investigate how school music rooms could be used as rehearsal spaces after school hours, given the shortage of such venues and the number of empty classrooms. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing ongoing work, as the City Administration, Culture Committee, and Education Committee believe this issue is already being addressed by an existing steering group focused on making school premises, including music rooms, available after school hours, thus rendering further investigation unnecessary.
Lovisa Hedin (KD) proposed that the city develop a strategy for villa and rowhouse areas, aiming to identify small-house development zones and guide infill with smaller homes like rowhouses over apartment buildings to preserve character and increase housing options. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that current city planning, including the comprehensive plan, already addresses these issues, making a separate strategy unnecessary.
Moderates propose measures against street racing and other disorder on Strandvägen, including increased police presence, reinstating municipal security guards, and installing speed bumps, speed cameras, and sound sensors. If these measures are insufficient, the possibility of closing Strandvägen to private vehicles at night should be investigated, with the Traffic Administration tasked to implement actions to stop illegal street racing.
Councilor Andréa Hedin (M) proposed prohibiting take-home digital devices for younger students and primarily using books and paper for teaching and homework, also calling for city-wide guidelines on digital tool introduction. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, arguing that digital tools enhance learning and accessibility, especially for students with disabilities, and a ban could exacerbate inequality among students with varying home access to technology.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes that the City of Stockholm develop a strategy for Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS), meaning public areas under private management. This would allow private property owners to develop squares, parks, or other publicly accessible spaces that are owned and managed by private actors. The motion suggests the city investigate offering increased building rights or other benefits to property owners who create high-quality public spaces.
A motion from Jan Jönsson (L) suggests Stockholm City investigate limiting the number of primary school changes, inspired by Uppsala municipality, to create more stable school choices and facilitate planning. The City Executive Office and Education Committee believe Stockholm already has school change periods to limit swaps, but legal support is lacking to restrict changes solely to term starts, and exceptions for relocating students are necessary. They contend the issue should rather be addressed to the government.
Councilors Jan Jönsson and Isabel Smedberg-Palmqvist (both L) proposed the city develop a strategy to increase access to art and culture in elderly care homes, citing its positive impact on quality of life and well-being, despite varying access. The City Executive Board suggested rejecting the motion, stating extensive work on culture for the elderly is already underway, though Jönsson (L) reserved, arguing a strategy is still needed to address the lack of equitable access across homes.
A motion from the Liberals proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate and tighten the democratic conditions for premises rental and cultural grants. The aim is to prevent anti-democratic actors from renting city premises, even in second or third hand, and to allow the city to revoke support if conditions are not met. However, the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered by referring to similar work already underway in the the 2025 and 2026 budgets to update guidelines and strengthen the follow-up of democratic conditions.
Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed a motion for the City of Stockholm to review and simplify regulations for restaurants, nightclubs, and live venues, aiming to ease operations and enhance the city's appeal and safety, for example by allowing simpler year-round outdoor seating and pushing for national law changes for more flexible opening hours. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be responded to by noting that the city is already actively working on these issues and that many regulatory changes require national legislation.
Kristin Jacobsson (C) proposed "Winter Help," a pilot project to assist elderly Stockholm residents with ice and snow removal outside their homes, aiming to prevent falls and social isolation by utilizing students or young people via Jobbtorg Stockholm. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing challenges with competition law, resource allocation, and practical implementation difficulties.
Two Moderate politicians proposed a pilot project for floating park islands in Stockholm's waters, such as Riddarfjärden or Årstaviken, to boost biodiversity, soften quays, and create new green spaces. However, the City Executive Board suggested rejecting the motion, citing existing similar initiatives, though the Moderates and Centre Party lodged reservations, arguing a pilot project is still necessary to test new solutions and improve the urban environment.
The Liberals proposed that the Real Estate and Culture Committees investigate a strategy to coordinate and streamline the city's studio inventory, aiming to provide artists with better working conditions in Stockholm. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered by referring to the existing Studio Strategy 2024–2026, as it already addresses many of the motion's proposals and plans for additional studio spaces.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed strengthening Stockholm's safety points by increasing their number, improving distribution, ensuring staffing and equipment, and raising public awareness. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by awaiting ongoing national investigations and upcoming legislation before establishing more safety points. While some committees like Bromma, Järva, and Skarpnäck are positive about expanding the points, they emphasize resourcing and national coordination for larger investments, whereas the Centre Party believes Stockholm should act now with signage and expansion due to the urgency of the issue.
Jan Jönsson and Isabel Smedberg-Palmqvist (both L) proposed that the city investigate and identify more locations for street art in Stockholm's outer areas, believing it fosters a more vibrant city and strengthens local identity. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that extensive existing work and strategies for street art and murals make a new, specific directive unnecessary.
Dennis Wedin (M) has proposed that the Stockholm City Executive Board should support the construction of the Eastern Link to complete Stockholm's ring road, arguing it would reduce traffic, improve air quality, and ease commuting. While Lidingö and Nacka municipalities are positive, the City Management Office and the Traffic Committee are skeptical, deeming the project economically unprofitable, counterproductive to reducing car traffic, and likely to displace other priority infrastructure projects.
Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed that the City of Stockholm implement a building permit robot and investigate automating more permit processes, such as for outdoor seating, to reduce long processing times affecting businesses and individuals. The City Executive Board suggests responding that ongoing work already addresses these intentions, but the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party dissent, arguing the motion should be fully approved given other municipalities' successful use of building permit robots.
The Sweden Democrats proposed halting the planning for up to 140 new homes in Klubbensborgsbacken, Mälarhöjden, arguing they would ruin the area's character, impair drainage, and destroy green space in Brådstupsparken, impacting both ecology and public access to nature. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting this motion, citing the ongoing, democratic, and transparent planning process under the Planning and Building Act, and emphasizing the need for new housing while ensuring relevant committees continue to handle the matter.
Liberal Party members proposed Stockholm develop a model for splitting detailed development plan fees over time to help building developers, especially smaller ones, manage costs during economic downturns and prevent project halts. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, arguing that these fees are a small part of total costs and the city's current continuous invoicing model is transparent and predictable.
The Sweden Democrats proposed halting new housing construction on Lågbron 1 in Långbro park, arguing it would damage the park and that the existing building should be preserved. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, noting that an ongoing detailed development plan process for the area, initially including housing, has already been revised to focus on a public amenity like a cafe.
Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed establishing a "Viva Lyceum Care and Social Welfare" to consolidate upper secondary and adult education (Komvux) care programs in Stockholm. The motion also suggests the city partially fund driving licenses for care students who pass their exam and complete their vocational degree, aiming to attract more applicants to these much-needed programs.
Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed a motion to amend the collaboration agreement between Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) and the Education Committee. The aim is for the cost of replacing entry systems in schools and preschools to become a property owner's responsibility, rather than burdening the schools' and preschools' budgets. This would ensure a basic safety standard and a good working environment for all schools, regardless of their financial situation.
Councillor Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm inventory all schoolyards and carry out necessary upgrades to make them accessible to everyone, including children and young people with disabilities, citing a report that highlighted exclusion due to inaccessible school environments. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the City Council reject the motion, referring to the city's existing accessibility efforts, as committees and companies are already addressing the issue within current policy documents and ongoing projects.
Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that Stockholm place vocational programs in popular inner-city high schools with theoretical profiles, develop a strategy to increase the attractiveness of vocational programs, and provide further training for study and career counselors. The aim is to encourage more young people to choose vocational training, as there is currently a significant labor shortage in these fields. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion, as the city is already actively working to strengthen vocational programs, for example by placing a sales and service program at Bromma Gymnasium.
Gabriel Kroon and Liliane Åkerlund (SD) proposed developing the amphitheater in Rålambshovsparken into a year-round meeting place with a café and dance stage to enhance safety. City departments, including the City Executive Office, Traffic Committee, and Kungsholmen District Council, stated they are already actively working to improve the area and increase safety through measures such as shrub thinning, renovations, ice rink maintenance, and building a dance floor. The City Executive Board recommends that the motion be addressed by referring to these ongoing efforts.
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 explore compensatory measures for victims, drawing inspiration from the Norwegian "rettferdsvederlag" model. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be addressed by referring the matter to the national level for investigation, citing the complexity of responsibilities and involvement of entities beyond just the City of Stockholm. However, a reservation from the Moderates and Liberals argues that the city possesses sufficient grounds and capacity to conduct its own investigation.
Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (both L) proposed Stockholm establish a research hub to more closely link social services with research, advocating for co-location of social workers and researchers and clearer evaluation of social interventions. However, several committees and Stockholm University acknowledge the importance of research but believe the city's existing, more flexible collaborations with academia are effective and should be further developed instead of creating a new hub.
Jonas Naddebo and Svante Linusson (both C) propose a comprehensive review of Valhallavägen, from Roslagstull to Hakberget, to improve traffic solutions and green infrastructure, suggesting moving parking to garages to create more green space and active areas, along with better cycling infrastructure and maintenance. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that similar measures are already planned or underway, but other areas currently take higher priority.
A motion proposed that Stockholm municipal employees should be able to take leave of absence to become foster parents, with the city continuously promoting this to address the shortage of foster homes and provide a more secure environment for children in care. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing existing options for unpaid leave and concerns from the City Management Office regarding the increased costs and impact on welfare staffing if such leave were paid.
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 gain knowledge on their safety, climate benefits, and potential to reduce congestion in the city. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the city is already monitoring developments through existing networks and research projects and prefers to await further investigations from relevant authorities.
Liberal Party members propose that the City Council instruct the city's committees and boards to prioritize the renovation and maintenance of Stockholm's culturally historical buildings, investigate budget adjustments for this, and explore creating a cultural heritage fund, to protect associations from evictions or sharp rent increases due to renovations. Referral bodies have mixed opinions, but the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to ongoing investigations into new rental models and the Real Estate Committee's responsibility for preserving culturally historical buildings.
Liberal Party members propose Stockholm City take stronger action to protect privately owned, culturally significant buildings, including investigating new strategies and tools and strengthening options for compulsory management in cases of neglect. Several committees are open to reviewing the city's work with cultural environments but emphasize the complexity of the issue and that the municipality's options are limited by current legislation.
Hanna Wistrand (L) proposes that Stockholm investigate the possibility of constructing a year-round multi-track for skiing, cycling, and para-sports, creating an organized training environment for children, youth, and people with disabilities, and meeting demand from Vasaloppet trainers. The City Executive Office and Sports Committee are positive about the proposal and are already in discussions with the Stockholm Ski Association, but note challenges with land availability and the need to involve more sports federations.
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, for instance through subsidies or temporary structures. Reporting City Commissioner Jan Valeskog advised against the motion, citing existing support and plans, and the difficulty of fair distribution for such aid.
André Nilsson (L) has proposed researching a artificial surf wave in Slussen to boost recreation and tourism. While technically feasible, it likely wouldn't be permanent, and Slussen's water regulation and boat traffic functions must take precedence. The City Executive Board proposes responding to the motion by referring to the statement, meaning no new investigation at this time, but the idea could be revisited in future budget processes.
Council members Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (L) propose a SEK 10 million investment to enhance traffic safety around Stockholm's schools through safer crossings, improved lighting, expanded pedestrian/cycling paths, and clearer speed limits. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion due to ongoing work, a stance the Liberals deem insufficient given that current measures only cover 7-10 of the city's approximately 270 primary schools annually.
Kristin Jacobsson and Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate freeze-drying leftover food from public operations and start a pilot project in schools to reduce food waste and strengthen crisis preparedness with municipal emergency stores. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating the city already actively works to reduce food waste and build emergency reserves, and a freeze-drying pilot project would require costly equipment investments.
Council members Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (L) propose that the city invest more in improving accessibility and navigability in the urban environment for all residents, particularly those with disabilities, citing issues like building waste bags on sidewalks and inadequate snow removal. The City Executive Board suggests responding that the city is already addressing these concerns through initiatives like a pilot project against building waste bags and improved snow removal, though current legislation limits further action.
Mikael Valier Furtenbach (KD) proposed that Stockholm introduce special architectural zones in the city center and older districts to regulate the height, volume, materials, and design of new buildings for better harmony with existing older structures. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, asserting that current steering documents and legislation already suffice to protect the city's character and cultural environment, and that the city must be able to develop with consideration for architecture from all periods.
Kristin Jacobsson (C) proposed that Stockholm should adhere to the Council of Europe's anti-trafficking convention, which grants potential victims at least 30 days' reflection period with a residence permit and a package of rights. The motion highlighted the low number of applications from social welfare committees despite widespread exploitation of women in prostitution. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating that the city is already actively addressing these issues and that its program against violence and human trafficking is being revised to include the matter.
Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) proposed that Stockholm City investigate the living conditions and health of elderly LGBTQI+ individuals in elder care, also calling for LGBTQI+ competence requirements in elder care procurements and continuous staff training on respectful treatment, equal opportunities, and LGBTQI+ issues. However, 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.
Councilors Ismail Ali and Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that the Preschool Committee develop a plan for all preschools in Stockholm to conduct cultivation as part of their pedagogical activities, aiming to strengthen children's understanding of nature and sustainable development. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered by referring to current municipal efforts and steering documents, such as new play value guidelines and the Sustainable Preschool project, which already promote cultivation and green environments in preschools, deeming further city-wide direction unnecessary.
Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that Stockholm City introduce sibling priority for preschool placements where an older sibling attends a primary school organizationally or geographically linked to the preschool, aiming to ease family life and promote equality. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, citing that the proposal requires extensive investigations, is not justified given existing school choice, and that such organizational links are currently absent.
Hanna Werner (M) has proposed making Odenplan a greener and more vibrant city square, and adapting the bicycle garage for electric bikes, tasks she suggests for the Traffic Committee in dialogue with Region Stockholm. However, the City Executive Office believes the Traffic Committee is already addressing Odenplan's improvements, and no further action is immediately necessary, especially given ongoing subway construction impacting the area.
Rasmus Jonlund et al. from the Liberal Party proposed a motion for the city to begin planning a Stockholm Exhibition in 2030, seeking collaborations for its realization. This exhibition would mark the centenary of the 1930 Stockholm Exhibition, focusing on future architecture, design, and urban planning. As the City Executive Office and Stockholm Business Region AB are already investigating the prerequisites for such an exhibition, the Municipal Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to this ongoing work.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that the municipality investigate merging its three housing companies, Familjebostäder, Svenska Bostäder, and Stockholmshem, to improve cost, climate, and energy efficiency and increase housing availability. However, the City Executive Board recommends dismissing the motion without an investigation, believing the companies are already addressing these areas and that a merger could complicate governance and leadership, as well as raise competition law issues.
Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed an "athletic standard" for Stockholm, meaning the city would plan and allocate land for sports facilities early in new urban development projects like Frihamnen and Slakthusområdet. The motion also advocates for greater private sector involvement in planning these spaces to prevent sports from being deprioritized, addressing the urgent shortage of sports facilities identified by sports federations.
Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the City Council instruct the Exploitation Committee to find a long-term solution for Örnsbergs Kanotsällskap, including a consolidated location for a clubhouse, as their previous clubhouse was demolished in 2018 and they currently have a temporary contract. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that relevant committees are already actively addressing the issue, a decision opposed by the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party.
Hanna Wistrand (L) has proposed that Stockholm city investigate offering swimming lessons for newly arrived adults, collaborating with Swedish for Immigrants (SFI) and local sports clubs, aiming to improve swimming skills and integration. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion, partly by noting ongoing efforts to increase swimming proficiency among newly arrived individuals and national inquiries into including swimming information in civic orientation programs.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed expanding Hammarbybacken with an additional peak and raising the existing one, utilizing excavated material from the subway expansion, to enhance winter and summer sports opportunities and strengthen Stockholm as an events city. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the proposal, citing a lack of surplus material and the need to protect the area's high natural values.
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, through physical touch and animal contact. While the City Executive Office and the Elderly Care Committee acknowledge the positive impact of care animals, they also highlighted challenges related to trained animals and guidelines for hygiene and allergies. The City Council therefore suggests that the motion be answered by referring to ongoing efforts and existing challenges.
The Centre Party proposed that the City of Stockholm and Region Stockholm implement a joint routine to ensure all preschool children with autism receive equivalent, coordinated, and early behavioral interventions, as recommended by the National Board of Health and Welfare. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing ongoing work and existing cooperation agreements, though the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party filed reservations, arguing current routines are insufficient to guarantee equity.
City Council member Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed allowing seniors to bring and consume their own alcoholic beverages, like wine or beer, at Stockholm's open community centers, such as Lusthuset Hornstull, to enhance their daily lives and treat them as adults. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that the Alcohol Act primarily governs this, and such a change could hinder the sale of non-alcoholic beverages like coffee, which are crucial for the centers' social activities. Several committees and City Commissioner Torun Boucher also believe revising local regulations would be ineffective, as existing law already permits some alcohol consumption in special housing under limited hours.
The Liberals proposed that Stockholm city should raise its ambitions for electrification as a central part of climate work, investigate how to accelerate electrification with concrete measures, and allocate funds for this. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to the city's existing Climate Action Plan 2030, which already includes many measures for electrification and reduced traffic emissions. However, the Liberals argue that the plan is insufficient and demand faster action, particularly for charging infrastructure in outer city districts and a more equitable transition.
Council members Sara Svanström and Elin Hjelmestam (both Liberals) propose that the City of Stockholm investigate and introduce differentiated parking fees, meaning higher charges for fossil-fueled vehicles to reduce emissions and improve air quality. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing that current legislation does not permit such fees and a change in law would be required.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed redeveloping Stadsgårdskajen by covering the road with terraced buildings, creating 180 homes, 25,000 sqm of office/retail space, and a rooftop promenade, along with waterside stairs, a park, marina, open-air bath, and stage. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, citing ongoing urban development, significant negative cultural impact, high costs, and substantial planning risks.
Jan Jönsson and Christina Tufvesson (L) propose in a motion that the City of Stockholm investigate how to create more affordable and accessible premises for associations and local entrepreneurs, especially in the outer city, as such spaces are vital for a vibrant urban life. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing existing work, as they believe the city is already addressing these issues through various initiatives and collaborative efforts.
A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C), Dennis Wedin (C/M), and Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed that sports clubs should retain subsidized rent for events even if they serve light beer, to support their finances and activities. The City Executive Office and the Sports Committee note that the Sports Committee has already decided to adjust the fees for 2026 to allow this, meaning the motion's request has already been met.
Liberal Party members propose Stockholm city develop its strategy for single-family home areas, emphasizing how new buildings' design fits into existing character and giving green spaces greater importance in projects. The City Executive Board suggests responding by noting that the City Planning Committee is already reviewing relevant guidelines, especially in light of upcoming changes to the Planning and Building Act.
Council members Jan Jönsson and Christina Tufvesson (both L) propose the city develop an action plan to reduce SFI (Swedish for Immigrants) dropouts, citing numerous dropouts and the need for a comprehensive plan to improve integration and labor market establishment. However, the City Executive Office and the Labor Market Committee believe existing efforts already address this systematically, rendering a new plan unnecessary. While the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district committee supports an action plan, the Hässelby-Vällingby and Kungsholmen district committees do not see the need for a separate one.
The Centre Party proposed investigating the adaptation of Stockholm Stads Parkerings AB's parking garages into sheltered spaces, equipped with water, sanitation, and ventilation for use during crises or war. The City Executive Board recommends awaiting national requirements and state funding, while the Centre Party advocates for more proactive city action.
The Liberals propose that the City Council direct the Traffic Committee and District Administrations to restore and preserve culturally significant parks like Vasaparken and Humlegården, ensuring careful changes and new installations that mimic originals, alongside promoting small cultural/food kiosks. However, several committees and administrations, including the City Executive Office and Traffic Committee, believe the city already works in line with these intentions through existing documents, making further assignments unnecessary. The City Executive Board thus proposes to dismiss the motion, a decision the Liberals dissent from.
Councilors Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (both L) propose that Stockholm City investigate whether associations could manage smaller parks through so-called user agreements. This would mean associations taking responsibility for maintenance and development with city support. The proposal suggests the Traffic Committee, along with district committees, should investigate this, develop guidelines, and launch a pilot program for association-run park management.
Liberal Party members propose the city investigate increasing workplaces in Söderort, citing an uneven distribution across Stockholm that causes longer commutes and increased congestion. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing ongoing city efforts to strengthen workplace development in Söderort, including a city-wide analysis of office workplaces with a focus on the area.
Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposes that Stockholm should work to increase new business creation and that startup advice should be returned to Stockholm Business Region AB, arguing the city's business climate has deteriorated due to inefficient, ideologically-driven support. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing existing comprehensive business promotion efforts, but the opposition (M, C, L) dissents and wishes to approve it.
Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City investigate naming a public space in Stockholm after Aaron Isaac, the first Jew allowed to settle in Sweden without converting to Christianity in 1775, to highlight the Jewish minority's historical significance. The City Planning Committee's naming advisory group rejected the motion, citing existing places named after Isaac and potential confusion, while the Jewish Central Council and Jewish Youth Association supported the proposal, suggesting Tyska Brunnsplan as a suitable location.
Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the City of Stockholm map the prevalence of Afrophobia in its schools, analyzing discrimination and hate crime reports and engaging with civil society organizations, similar to the Discrimination Ombudsman's national work. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing the city's existing action plan against racism and broader ongoing mapping of racism in educational settings.
Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that Stockholm City conduct a new survey on antisemitism in schools and educational settings, developing an action plan based on the findings, citing increased antisemitism since October 2023. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to ongoing efforts against racism and antisemitism, including a national study and a broader racism survey within city operations already planned for 2025.
Jan Jönsson (L) proposed a motion for Stockholm to introduce a "Stockholm Test" in Swedish, similar to the existing math test, to better monitor students' reading comprehension when starting upper secondary school and provide primary schools with tools to strengthen Swedish education. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, citing previous investigations that found such a test would not provide sufficient value relative to its cost, along with practical difficulties in designing a comparable assessment.
Councillors Svante Linusson and Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed a motion to inventory Stockholm's avenues, develop a strategy for their protection and development, identify new areas for avenues, and transform Karlbergsvägen into a green esplanade. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating much of this work is already underway within the city's new tree policy and targets, while acknowledging that underground infrastructure limits new plantings on Karlbergsvägen.
Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City Executive Board map the prevalence of homophobia and transphobia within Stockholm's municipal operations, including an analysis of reported incidents and dialogue with civil society. The mapping results would inform strategic measures and be followed up annually. However, the City Executive Board proposes declining the motion, referencing the city's existing human rights work and a new action plan for the equal rights and opportunities of LGBTQI+ individuals.
Liberal party members have proposed that the City of Stockholm facilitate the visitor industry by reducing bureaucracy, improving services, and clarifying regulations. They specifically call for faster processing times, better phone service, simplified business applications, and a review of rules for outdoor seating, satellite service areas, and dance permits. The proposers also want the visitor industry's interests considered in urban planning and an annual regulatory review conducted in cooperation with the industry.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed the City Executive Board take lead responsibility for developing Fagersjöviken in Magelungen for water recreation, citing its deterioration due to overgrowth and a need for clearer governance. The City of Stockholm responded that extensive, coordinated efforts are already underway to improve Magelungen's water quality and recreational opportunities, including a local action program. The Board recommended dismissing the motion given ongoing work, though the Centre Party and Liberals dissented, arguing for more specific measures for Fagersjöviken.
Councilors Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (L) proposed an evaluation of Stockholm's existing environmental zones, including those in Gamla stan and Södermalm, to assess their impact on air quality, emissions, residents, and businesses. While several referral bodies agreed on the importance of such evaluations, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered by referencing ongoing and planned evaluations already addressing these concerns.
The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm investigate the use of digital tools in preschools, establish clear guidelines, and primarily ensure preschools are screen-free (with exceptions for pedagogically motivated older children), while also supporting play, interaction, and physical activity. While the proposers cite research on potential negative impacts of excessive digital use, the City Executive Office, Preschool Committee, and district committees believe these concerns are already addressed by the recently revised preschool curriculum and forthcoming National Agency for Education materials, which emphasize analog tools for younger children and restricted, purposeful digital use.
Council members Jan Jönsson and Åsa Nilsson Söderström (both Liberal Party) proposed a mapping of honor-based oppression in Stockholm's preschools, citing a lack of knowledge on the issue's extent and guidelines for staff. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting the city's existing efforts and an upcoming national inquiry on honor-related violence in schools due in 2026, whose findings the city intends to await. Several committees and the City Executive Office also emphasized their ongoing work while stressing the importance of awaiting the national inquiry.
Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) has proposed that the City of Stockholm establish a target to prevent the total number of parking spaces from falling below 2020 levels, arguing this would benefit accessibility, safety, and the business climate while enabling more underground garages. However, several bodies, including the City Executive Office and the Traffic Committee, believe this contradicts the city's goals of reduced car traffic, improved accessibility, and decreased climate impact. Consequently, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion.
A motion proposes that the City of Stockholm acquire land, either through purchase or exchange, to preserve the natural and cultural values of Långbro Park. The privately owned property Lågbron 1, where roughly twelve townhouses are planned, was historically part of the park. The motion seeks to integrate this property back into Långbro Park to prevent privatization and instead enhance the park's appeal, potentially by relocating the planned townhouses to another nearby site.
In a motion, Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes transforming Johanneshovsvägen into a green boulevard by narrowing it from four to two lanes to make way for new housing (approx. 1045 units), cycling paths, pedestrian areas, and green spaces, including a new square at Lindes tram station. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing ongoing work on the Årsta thoroughfare, which already aligns with several of these proposals, thus negating the need for further directives to the committees.
The Liberals propose amending Stockholm City's land allocation policy to better support the city's housing social work, enabling clearer social requirements like tenure or target groups, to build more homes for lower-income households. They also suggest the Social Welfare Committee play a greater role in inter-municipal cooperation to meet housing needs for groups with special requirements. However, the City Executive Board believes these intentions are already addressed through existing efforts, including new land allocation guidelines and a housing provision action plan.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed Kista be developed into a Nordic total defense center to reverse the trend of companies leaving the area, advocating for strategic urban development, new housing, improved infrastructure, and city collaboration with the government to attract defense-related businesses. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing ongoing extensive work in Kista on urban development, business, and security, where total defense matters are already part of the area's profile.
Gabriel Kroon (SD) has proposed that Stockholm residents should be able to "buy" and fund their own trees, planted on public land, potentially with a nameplate, to find new financing models and relieve the city's budget. However, the City Executive Office, the Traffic Committee, and several district committees identify practical and economic issues, including high administrative costs, difficulties with tree selection and placement, and unclear legal questions regarding ownership.
Council members Gabriel Kroon and Tapani Juntunen (both SD) proposed a plan to ensure public signage in Stockholm is primarily in Swedish, for example by making Swedish text at least twice as large as other languages. However, several referral bodies, including the City Executive Office and the Traffic Committee, found this unfeasible, stating the city already complies with the Language Act which mandates Swedish for city information, allowing parallel use of other languages when necessary.
Two Liberal Party council members proposed strengthening the status of Stockholm's urban development policy documents, such as the architectural policy and strategy for small house and villa areas, and improving inter-committee coordination and follow-up. While the administration stated active work is already underway to integrate these guiding documents, the Liberal Party maintained in a reservation that the small house and villa area strategy, in particular, needs greater emphasis to preserve the city's unique character.
Åsa Nilsson Söderström (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate establishing a knowledge center against transnational oppression, offering legal support and disseminating information to those pressured by their countries of origin. Administrations and the City Executive Board deemed this a national responsibility outside municipal scope, though they are open to collaboration with state actors. Liberals, however, dissented, arguing that a similar center for honor-related violence already exists, proving it falls within municipal competence.
Councilor Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that the City of Stockholm more widely implement the "phonics" reading method in its schools, following an international study showing a decline in Swedish students' reading ability. The City Executive Office and Education Committee agree that phonics is important for early literacy but emphasize the need for a balanced approach with multiple methods, especially for students whose native language is not Swedish.
Liberal Party members proposed consolidating all city-owned parking garages under Stockholm Stads Parkerings AB to boost efficiency, clarify responsibilities, and improve resource use. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that its intentions are already met through existing efforts like long-term lease agreements.
Councilor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed the city take action to lower food prices by increasing competition among grocery stores, suggesting competition analyses in city planning, a fast-track for grocery stores in the detailed development plan process, and a review of existing plans. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating the city already addresses these issues through projects like "New Grocery Stores – Proactive Planning and Land Allocation," and a fast-track is unnecessary as the detailed development plan process ensures quality. The Moderates on the City Executive Board reserved their position, arguing current measures are insufficient to create space for new grocery stores and increase competition.
Councillor Svante Linusson (C) has proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate moving the winter break to an earlier week to increase children's opportunities for winter play with snow and ice, citing climate change's impact on snow availability during the current Week 9. Several committees and offices advise against this change due to logistical, social, and economic challenges, as well as the importance of coordination with other municipalities and an established tradition.
Two Sweden Democrats propose halting construction of an LSS housing facility in Lammholmen, citing poor ground conditions, risk to primeval forest, and highway noise that would also negatively affect nearby homes. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, emphasizing the urgent need for more LSS housing to address the current deficit, and noting that the detailed development plan process will thoroughly investigate ground conditions, noise, and natural values.
A motion proposed that Stockholm City immediately sign a sister city agreement with Kyiv and implement a routine for city administrations and companies to regularly donate unusable equipment for Ukraine's reconstruction. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by pointing out that the city already supports Ukraine in various ways, including cooperation with Kyiv on civil preparedness and water supply, and by donating equipment when specific needs are communicated.
Moderates Andréa Hedin and Per Rosencrantz proposed that the the City of Stockholm regularly map honor-related violence and oppression, at least once per term, to monitor developments and improve the city's efforts. However, several committees, including the City Executive Office, the Social Welfare Committee, and the Education Committee, rejected the proposal, stating that current knowledge is sufficient and that such mappings are resource-intensive. They argued that the city's efforts should instead focus on strengthening ongoing preventative work and collaboration with other actors.
Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that Stockholm Globe Arena Properties AB install new security solutions, in collaboration with Hammarby IF and Djurgårdens IF, to prevent disturbances and interrupted matches for the 2025 football season, following several incidents in 2024. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, arguing that work for safer football is ongoing and sustainable changes require a cultural shift, not just technical solutions. However, the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party filed reservations, wanting the motion approved for the city to do more to counter disturbances and preserve a vibrant fan culture.
Councillor Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposed that the City of Stockholm sell non-strategic land it owns outside the municipal boundaries, as the city has owned over 2,000 hectares in neighboring municipalities since the early 20th century. The City Executive Board suggests that this motion be answered by stating that such work is already underway and no further action is required.
The Liberals propose a pilot project for installing solar panels on the facades of municipal buildings and an inquiry to enable more such installations in the future, aiming to boost renewable energy and meet climate goals. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing previous projects that show facade-mounted solar panels are less effective and profitable than roof-mounted ones, and that the city already prioritizes rooftop solar where suitable.
Liberal Party members propose Stockholm establish an environmental controller for the Bromma Project urban development, to minimize climate and environmental impact, ensure safe decontamination, and preserve biodiversity. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion for now, citing existing relevant functions and the possibility of an environmental controller later, but not at present.
The Liberals proposed that the City of Stockholm establish a contract controller at the Traffic Administration to review, negotiate, and follow up agreements with external parties, aiming to prevent cost overruns in large infrastructure projects, protect taxpayer money, and increase transparency. However, the Traffic Committee has already hired a contract controller and believes that current work on contract follow-up and improved risk models addresses the proposal's intent.
Council members Jan Jönsson and Björn Ljung (Liberals) propose that Stockholm develop a strategy to increase allotments and urban farming areas, streamlining the process for establishing new lots and identifying suitable land. While several committees and administrations acknowledge the growing interest in urban farming and note that a program is already underway, the Liberals argue that progress is too slow and more innovative solutions are needed to meet the high demand.
Moderates proposed the immediate establishment of a new recycling center in western Söderort, following the closure of the Sätra facility, urging increased capacity at existing centers and an urgent replacement for the closed plant. The Executive Board and relevant City Commissioner recommend dismissing the motion, as Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is already addressing the issue: a temporary mini-recycling center will open in Skärholmen in September 2025, Vantör's capacity has increased, and work on a permanent full-scale center in western Söderort is ongoing.
Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed establishing a waste ombudsman in Stockholm to review the city's finances and spending over two years, aiming to streamline expenditures outside core tasks. However, the red-green majority and the City Executive Board believe existing control systems, like the City Audit and the city's governance model, are sufficient and suggest dismissing the motion by referring to these functions.
A motion by Jan Jönsson and Björn Ljung (both L) proposes that Stockholm actively support new, innovative housing models, like the Kymmendö model, focusing on social and economic sustainability. They also suggest investigating and removing regulatory obstacles and adapting land policy to prioritize projects that foster a more inclusive housing market. The City Executive Board proposes the motion be answered by noting that the city already undertakes similar initiatives and that current governance provides for this type of development.
Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) has proposed that Stockholm investigate using lighter colors for asphalt and sidewalks to make the city more attractive, combat high temperatures during heatwaves, and save energy on lighting. However, several city departments, including the City Management Office and the Traffic Committee, are hesitant about colored asphalt as a general solution for the entire city, citing costs, traffic safety concerns for the visually impaired, and the belief that increased greenery is a more effective climate adaptation measure. The City Executive Board therefore proposes rejecting the motion, referring to existing climate adaptation work and the prioritization of more green spaces.
Council members Dennis Wedin and Henrik Virro (both M) propose that the City Executive Board investigate and develop a city-wide Facility Management (FM) strategy to streamline building and premises administration, aiming to reduce costs, improve working environments, and enhance service quality. While the City Management Office and Property Committee acknowledge the need for efficiency, they argue that work is already underway within existing purchasing categories and fear an overly standardized strategy could reduce flexibility.
Councilors Annika Elmlund and Johan Nilsson (M) proposed making Stockholm greener and more enjoyable by developing a plan to transform underutilized spaces like flat roofs, areas under bridges, new quays, and facades into green oases and mini-parks. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing ongoing similar work within city administrations and companies, though several committees and even the Moderates have filed reservations, wishing to approve the motion and develop a specific action plan.
Moderates Annika Elmlund and Johan Nilsson proposed a plan for Stockholm to build more townhouses and similar residences, citing a need for larger homes, especially for families, and greater housing diversity. However, the City Executive Board, led by Mayor Karin Wanngård, recommended rejecting the proposal, stating the city already addresses these issues within existing plans and budgets, though they agree on the need for structured efforts to enable more townhouses.
Tom Hedrup (M) has submitted a motion proposing that all high school students in Stockholm should visit a university at least once before graduation, aiming to boost interest in higher education, especially among students from families with no prior university experience. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that city high schools already collaborate with institutions like KTH and Stockholm University, including through Vetenskapens Hus, to offer visits and foster interest.
The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's response to an inquiry from Jan Jönsson (L) regarding expanded holiday schools and support groups for "grey zone children," who are at risk of not meeting learning objectives but don't qualify for extensive support. The committee was informed that Stockholm's municipal schools already offer holiday school and extra study time for at-risk students, but the administration's mandate does not include independent schools. Vice-Chair Andréa Hedin (M) and Jan Jönsson (L) dissented, proposing that an action plan for "grey zone children" be developed.
The Education Committee decided to forward a letter from the Liberals and Moderates concerning school coordinators and the transition to high school for placed children to the Education Administration for further preparation. This means the administration will now investigate the proposals further.
The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's response regarding school social teams, stating that a pilot project for these teams is underway in five primary school districts to boost safety and study environments. However, the administration doesn't plan to introduce them in high schools due to organizational challenges. The Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party issued a special statement advocating for the expansion of these teams to all schools, long-term funding, and an investigation into school social support for high school students as well.
The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's response to a letter from Jan Jönsson (L) regarding strengthening students' ability to cope with demands and setbacks. The Administration stated that city schools already actively address this based on local needs, as part of their systematic quality work. However, Jan Jönsson (L) expressed in a separate statement that the response was unsatisfactory and that more systematic and equitable work is needed.
Stockholm's Education Committee approved the Education Administration's statement regarding a motion by Andréa Hedin (M) on protecting students in special schools from violence. The Administration deemed a separate survey on honor-based violence, sexual violence, and criminal recruitment unnecessary due to existing national studies, and a new safety program redundant as current support materials cover all school types. However, they were positive about continuing to increase staff knowledge, but without additional mandatory training. Andréa Hedin (M) and Jan Jönsson (L) reserved their positions, advocating for the motion's proposals of a survey, a specific safety program, and mandatory staff training.
The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's statement in response to a motion from the Sweden Democrats, which proposed that meat, poultry, or fish always be an option at public meals, including in schools. The Committee rejected the motion, stating that each school determines its own meals based on local conditions and existing regulations, and there are no grounds to mandate schools always offer meat, poultry, or fish. Mats Johnsson (SD) registered a reservation against the decision.
The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's statement regarding a motion to make Stockholm's art collection more accessible, particularly for schools. The administration was positive about digitizing art, involving students in creating educational material, placing more art in schools, and reviewing the rental model. However, the Vice-Chairperson Andréa Hedin (M) and Jan Jönsson (L) dissented, arguing the motion should have been fully adopted to ensure the work's prioritization and implementation.
The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's report to the Swedish Schools Inspectorate, following a quality review of Stockholm's upper secondary schools. While the city partially ensures education is based on scientific grounds and proven experience, further development is needed to systematically monitor this and share best practices. A collaboration with Stockholm University has been initiated for school leaders to strengthen their ability to lead educational development.
The Education Committee approved Bredängsskolan's registration to compete in the "School" category for Stockholm City's Quality Award 2026. This award aims to recognize and reward operations that successfully foster quality development and sustainability for the benefit of Stockholm's residents. The decision was immediately adjusted due to the registration timeline.
The Education Committee approved and forwarded the Education Administration's positive opinion on Stockholm City's revised cultural strategy program to the City Executive Board. The opinion supported the program's aim to strengthen culture's role and accessibility but emphasized the need to clarify the school's role in children's and young people's cultural encounters, as well as the relationship between this new program and the existing "Children's Right to Culture" program. Vice Chairman Andréa Hedin (M) and Mats Johnsson (SD) dissented, offering their own proposals.
The Education Committee partially approved the administration's proposal to expand mobile nature school activities with a new unit, specifically for southwestern Stockholm, allowing more students to experience nature locally. The committee also decided the administration should continue searching for suitable, vacant premises to establish a permanent nature school in the area in the future. Several parties dissented, arguing that a permanent nature school was not a responsible priority given the current economic climate.
The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's proposal to revise the Functional Program for School Premises. This revision introduces new functional requirements and more detailed text concerning premises for adapted compulsory schooling, aiming to ensure a more standardized design of these facilities in Stockholm. The committee also delegated authority to the administration for minor future changes to the program, while Vice Chair Andréa Hedin (M) and Claes Nyberg (C) issued a special statement welcoming the changes for adapted compulsory schooling but highlighting the need to adjust the program for declining student numbers and cost-effectiveness.
The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's statement regarding the City Audit Office's 2025 annual report. The audit found that the committee's operations were partly effective, but that the City Council's goals for academic results, safety, and school attendance are not being fully met. While the finances were largely satisfactory, measures are needed to ensure sufficient internal control at all school units, especially concerning school meal services and the role of assistant principals. The Vice Chairman Andréa Hedin (M) and Claes Nyberg (C) reserved their position, advocating for a concrete action plan with clear deadlines.
The Education Committee approved the administration's first tertial report for 2026, covering operations and finances as of April 30, 2025. The report concludes that the City Council's goals for strong and equitable welfare and stable finances will be fully met, but the goal for a green and fossil-free Stockholm will only be partially met as most schools are not meeting targets for climate impact of school meals or the proportion of organic food. Minority parties (Moderates, Centre Party, Liberals, and Christian Democrats) dissented, arguing the report presented an overly optimistic view of the school situation, citing concerns over high absenteeism, declining knowledge results, and ambiguity regarding perceived safety.
The Education Committee approved its monthly forecast for May 2026, meaning it reviewed and confirmed the financial estimate for school operations in Stockholm during that month.
The Education Committee was notified of delegated decisions, meaning they were informed about decisions made by staff rather than the committee directly. These decisions included children ceasing to be of compulsory school age due to residing abroad, deferred compulsory school age, and an office statement concerning legally secure societal care for children and young people.
The Education Committee received an update from the Education Administration on operations and premises planning. This was prompted by a forecast indicating a sustained decrease in the number of students in Stockholm, with the goal of reallocating more funds to instruction.
The Kungsholmen District Council approved its May 2026 monthly report, which projected a surplus of 11.3 million SEK after profit transfer, a 5 million SEK improvement in elderly care. However, costs for financial assistance and places in nursing homes are expected to rise later in the year.
The Kungsholmen District Council addressed two written proposals. A proposal from Lars Norén (C) regarding the consequences of competence expulsions was sent to the administration for preparation. Additionally, a proposal from Rickard Ydrenäs (L), Lou-Ann Wejke Norberg et al. (M), and Lars Norén (C) concerning concern reports from preschools and child healthcare centers (BVC) was also forwarded to the administration for preparation.
The district administration updated the committee on several current issues, including the evacuation of Alströmmerhemmet, handling of liquor license referrals, plans for National Day celebrations in Rålambshovsparken, and arrangements for school graduation festivities at the same location. A new Deputy Head of Elderly Care was also introduced.
The Kungsholmen District Council reviewed the balance sheet for June 2026. The council decided to file the balance sheet, meaning it was noted and archived.
The Kungsholmen District Council addressed a motion from Andréa Hedin (M) regarding children in special education programs, who were deemed particularly vulnerable to violence and abuse. The Council decided to refer the district administration's opinion to the City Executive Board, meaning they did not approve the Moderate Party's proposal for a local survey and mandatory staff training. The Moderate Party reserved its position, demanding more targeted measures to protect these children.
The Kungsholmen District Council responded to a referral regarding a revised cultural strategy for the City of Stockholm, generally approving it but emphasizing the need to include people with disabilities and newcomers in cultural access discussions, and to use culture to combat loneliness among the elderly. The opposition (Liberals, Moderates, Centre Party) dissented, arguing the majority failed to meet the program's ambitions, citing cuts to security guards, rejection of proposals for care homes in "Kulanpremien," and lack of access to school premises for young cultural groups.
The Kungsholmen District Council approved the administration's statement regarding the City Audit's 2025 annual report. The audit found that the council generally conducted its operations effectively and economically satisfactorily, though some recommendations remain, particularly concerning implementation plans in home care and systematic fire protection work in care homes.
The Kungsholmen District Council approved the administration's response regarding the Sweden Democrats' request to reinstate bus line 54 on Kungsholmen. The Council noted that public transport changes since 2025 have improved bus services with new lines like 5, 74, and 65, and emphasized the importance of good bus service for groups such as the elderly and families with children. While decisions about public transport rest with Region Stockholm's traffic administration, the Council wants Kungsholmen's needs to continue to be raised in discussions with them.
The Kungsholmen District Council responded to a Centre Party proposal regarding indicators and targets for Stockholm's action plan for an age-friendly city. The council decided to send the administration's report as its answer, stating that while the proposal's structure was good, decisions on specific indicators should be handled within the city's budget process and the council's operational plan. Council member Lars Norén issued a special statement, finding the administration's recommendation to limit indicators and use existing measurements to be positive.
The Kungsholmen District Council considered a letter from the Liberals and Moderates concerning elderly care. The letter inquired about measures to create more housing, what happens if someone isn't placed in time, and actions for inaccessible homes. The Council decided to forward the administration's official statement as a response to these questions.
The Kungsholmen District Council approved the Participation of the Support and Service Area in the City of Stockholm's Quality Award 2026. This annual award recognizes and rewards successful operational development within the city while also serving as a tool for evaluating operations.
The Kungsholmen District Council approved an investigation into building a new care home for 80-100 residents in the Skäggyxan project in Stadshagen, citing a large and increasing need for elderly care places. The Liberals and Centre Party reserved their position, requesting the investigation also include service apartments for seniors. The Moderates and Sweden Democrats reserved their position against the decision, instead proposing an investigation into building the home in the Hornsberg quarter and preserving existing sports areas at Stadshagen IP.
The Kungsholmen District Council approved its first-trimester report for 2026, forwarding it to the City Executive Board. The report indicates the council is on track to meet its goals with a 3.5 million SEK surplus, though risks exist in leisure, elderly care, and preschool services. Additionally, the council adjusted annual targets for children in sports, plastic consumption, and summer jobs, and requested a 0.7 million SEK budget adjustment for the start-up costs of the OB-preschool.
The Kungsholmen District Council reviewed a notification regarding the minutes from the Social Delegation's extraordinary meeting on May 26, 2026. The Council decided to file the notification, meaning the information was noted but no further decision was made on the matter.

The Bromma District Council approved the administration's response to a citizen proposal concerning clearing brush and litter from the slope next to Tranebergsängen playground, along Margretelundsvägen.

The Bromma District Council considered a citizen proposal to install a shower at Johannelundsbadet by summer 2026.

The City of Stockholm submitted its statement in response to the consultation.
The City Executive Board proposed that the City Council reject a motion by Hanna Wistrand and Christina Tufvesson (L) to investigate building a full-size football pitch in Bellevueparken. This was due to the location being within the National City Park with high natural and cultural heritage values, as well as technical difficulties in constructing such a large pitch there.

The City Executive Board proposed, and the City Council approved, lifting the swimming ban at nine inner-city locations, including Norra Djurgården, Södra Djurgården, and parts of Årstaviken, thus allowing more swimming in inner-city waters, even near approved private structures.

The City Planning Administration has drafted a zoning plan for Blasieholmen 54, which proposes to permanently allow a restaurant pavilion to remain next to the culturally significant Burman House, despite being built on land previously designated as unbuildable. The Council on Beautification has rejected the proposal, criticizing the pavilion's initial construction with a temporary permit without their prior consultation, stating it obstructs the Burman House's architecture and could set a precedent. The draft plan is now open for public consultation, with comments accepted until July 6, 2026.
