The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council has noted the minutes from the Pensioners' Council meeting on April 13, 2026. This means the Council was informed about the matters and discussions that took place at the Pensioners' Council meeting.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council adopted a statement in response to a government referral on activity requirements for social assistance. The council was positive about the Labor Market Council having overall responsibility for providing activities. Members from the Moderate Party issued a separate statement welcoming the reform but expressing concern over the lack of collaboration with civil society and the business sector, as well as insufficient detailed planning for the range of activities.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council approved the administration's response to a consultation on revised guidelines for child safety in Stockholm's preschools, which will be sent to the City Executive Board. The decision supported proposals to strengthen the systematic and equitable approach to child safety efforts. The Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party dissented, advocating for stronger measures against "mega-preschools," expanded background checks for staff, and improved handling of honor-related violence.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council adopted the City Executive Board's proposal for revised guidelines on financial assistance, which focus on increased strategic governance, less detailed regulation, and a clearer emphasis on self-sufficiency. The Moderates reserved their position, arguing that the guidelines weaken work incentives and that providing assistance to individuals without the right to reside in the country, beyond acute emergencies, is problematic.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council approved the administration's opinion on the City Executive Board's referral to introduce digital personnel records in Stockholm. This decision means the council supports transitioning from paper-based to digital records, citing more efficient management and increased security as benefits. Several members made special statements emphasizing the importance of careful implementation, focusing on security, and learning from previous digitalization projects.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board approved the administration's response to the City Executive Board regarding new guidelines for allocating special housing under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS), including social psychiatric supported housing. The Board proposed earlier planning for placements outside the Act on System of Choice (LOV) to ensure decisions are implemented within three months instead of six, and requested clearer procedures for cases where individuals decline offers.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council addressed a citizen proposal to reopen operations at the Skolörten property. The Council approved the administration's proposal to not reopen due to extensive and financially unjustifiable renovation needs. Instead, new construction is planned for a nursing home, senior housing, home care facilities, day activities, and activity premises, with preliminary use by 2034. Councillor Fatima Nur (L) reserved against the decision, suggesting the matter be forwarded to the Committee for the Elderly.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board approved the administration's response to a citizen proposal regarding improved skateboarding opportunities in Hässelby-Vällingby. The administration stated that these suggestions will be incorporated into the future development of outdoor environments within the district.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board decided to discharge Lena Bosticco from her alternate position on the Pensioners' Council. Concurrently, the Board elected Barbro Erlandsson (from SPF Seniorerna) and Wivan Lindberg (from Pensionärernas Riksorganisation, PRO) as new alternates to the Pensioners' Council until December 31, 2026.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board adopted a revised delegation order to streamline administrative decision-making. The board appointed specific politicians to make urgent decisions regarding placement in emergency foster homes under the Social Services Act and the Act on Care of Young Persons. Additionally, several civil servants were authorized to request assistance from the police or correctional services when implementing decisions on care or immediate apprehension.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board has approved its monthly report for March 2026. The administration estimates that the budget is expected to be in balance.

The District Manager for Hässelby-Vällingby reported several updates, including the launch of a new mobile social services initiative in collaboration with Stadsmissionen, employing an outreach social worker. Additionally, the youth clinic's new, larger premises in Vällingby and the new gaming room at Tegelhögen were inaugurated, and Maltesholmstorget is no longer an open drug scene.

The Skarpnäck District Council approved the administration's proposal to send a statement to the City Executive Board regarding new guidelines for child safety in Stockholm's municipal preschools. While generally positive about strengthening and standardizing safety efforts, the administration requested clearer structure and more details on indoor/outdoor environments like gated entrances and lighting. The Centre Party, Moderates, Liberals, and Sweden Democrats dissented, advocating for stricter measures such as enhanced background checks for staff and improved handling of child welfare concerns.

The Skarpnäck District Council approved the administration's statement in response to a consultation on the Action Plan for a Gender Equal Stockholm 2030, which aims for equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender, focusing on women, men, and non-binary individuals. This decision was made despite objections and reservations from the Center Party, Liberals, and Moderates, who argued the plan was too vague, lacked concrete goals, and inadequately addressed male violence against women or the vulnerability of people with disabilities.

The Skarpnäck District Council approved issuing new litigation powers of attorney to four managers in the adult and prevention sector: Andreas Johansson, Therese Forsberg, Olivia Sjödén, and Niklas Curman. Due to personnel changes, these individuals are now authorized to represent the district council in court for cases concerning the Compulsory Treatment of Substance Abusers Act (LVM), replacing previous expired authorizations.

The Skarpnäck District Council approved the administration's proposal for the 2027 budget, with a focus on 2028 and 2029, and forwarded it to the City Executive Board for further preparation. This document outlines and analyzes future developments and their city-wide consequences, highlighting strategic issues, development needs, challenges, and priorities. Separate proposals from the Centre Party, Moderates, and Liberals, as well as from the Sweden Democrats, were rejected in the vote.

The Järva City District Council decided to task the administration with investigating two letters. One letter, from Åsa Nilsson Söderström (L) with support from Ole-Jörgen Persson et al. (M) and Patrick Amofah (C), concerns how to prevent abuse within home care services. The second letter, from Patrick Amofah (C), addresses the development of this summer's bus excursions in Järva.

At the meeting, Toni Mellblom reported on a shooting in Husby and announced that Tensta centrum is no longer classified as an open drug scene, reflecting a change in the police's previous assessment.

The Järva District Council reviewed the minutes from the Pensioners' Council meeting held on April 8, 2026. The Council decided to file the minutes, meaning they were noted without any new decisions being made directly based on them.

The Järva City District Council decided to task the administration with investigating a citizen proposal to create a nature and culture trail around Spånga Church. The trail would utilize existing paths and include signs with directions and information. The investigation should consider the perspectives of children's rights, disability, and gender equality.
