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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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