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

The City Executive Board rejected Sara Svanström's (L) motion to improve pedestrian safety at dangerous crossings, which proposed mapping, prioritizing, and implementing measures.

The City Executive Board approved the Preschool Committee's proposed functional program for preschool premises. This program will guide the construction of new preschools and the renovation of existing ones, aiming to ensure suitable, safe, and secure environments for children.

Council Member Jan Jönsson (L) dissented from the decision.

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

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

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

The City Executive Board decided to inform the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning that Stockholm has no objection to their proposal to repeal regulations regarding adaptations and deviations for temporary accommodation facilities.

The City Executive Board has approved the project direction for the new Husbybadet on the Bislet 1 property, allowing the Real Estate Committee to proceed with planning a new bathhouse featuring a 25-meter pool, two teaching pools, and an adventure pool, as the current facility has significant structural defects and will be demolished. Construction is planned to start in Q1 2028 and be completed by Q2 2031, with a budget exceeding 300 million SEK. The Sweden Democrats reserved their position on the decision.
