The City of Stockholm has developed an action plan for children's rights and influence up to 2030, aiming for equal living conditions for all children and combating discrimination across areas like school, leisure, and societal participation. Farsta City District Administration supports the plan but requests more resources for implementation, a clearer child perspective in urban planning, and digital leisure activities.

The Farsta District Council has issued a positive statement regarding a new functional program for Stockholm's preschool premises. This program aims to ensure that all preschools, during new construction and renovations, receive equivalent, safe, and fit-for-purpose indoor and outdoor environments. This will provide all preschool children with access to a high-quality, secure, and flexible learning environment, while also improving the working conditions for staff.

Farsta District Council approved its financial report for February 2026, which anticipates a balanced overall budget for the year after internal adjustments. However, individual and family care (driven by costly placements for children and youth) and elder care (due to increased needs and lost income from closed Postiljonen nursing home apartments) face deficits. These are offset by surpluses in preschool, urban environment, and disability services.

The Farsta City District Council has allocated a total of 1,920,000 SEK in grants to 50 local associations in Farsta for 2026. These funds will support general association activities, holiday programs, celebrations and events, and environmental and climate work. A significant portion, 42 percent, of the funds is earmarked for activities targeting children and youth.

The Farsta District Council has responded to a letter from the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party regarding inadequate snow removal in Farsta. While the parties highlighted uncleared park paths and icy walkways causing accessibility issues for residents, the elderly, and home care staff, the administration disagreed that problems were widespread. However, they acknowledged shortcomings in Tallkrogen and Svedmyra, where contractors were fined, and are working to improve follow-up and coordination with the Traffic Administration Office.

A citizen proposed building a lighted outdoor gym with a child-friendly section at Sunneplan to promote physical activity, improve public health, and create a safer environment. The administration supports this, recommending the Farsta City District Council approve it, provided they secure approximately 1.2 million SEK in safety investment funds for 2027 to develop it as a combined activity area for all ages.

A citizen proposal to divide the southern part of Olympiaplan in Farsta into meadow and lawn, to create more space for play, dog walking, and social activities, has been rejected by the Farsta District Council. The council believes there are already ample grassy areas on northern Olympiaplan, and that such a change would harm biodiversity and incur significant costs for the administration.

A 10-year-old suggested making Airplane Park (Nybygget playground) in Gubbängen more fun for ten-year-olds with a climbing wall or obstacle course. The Farsta City District Committee replied that the park was recently renovated in 2017 and is already well-equipped, so no new major investments, costing up to 700,000 SEK, are currently prioritized for Nybygget.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council is reporting to IVO on delayed decisions within social services and support for the disabled (SoL and LSS) during the fourth quarter of 2025. At year-end, 20 unfulfilled decisions remained, a decrease of six from the previous quarter. Delays are often due to citizens declining offers, not choosing providers, or having specific requests, particularly in eldercare where the number of unfulfilled decisions increased by two.

The City of Stockholm is implementing a common program to govern the design and construction of new preschool facilities and their outdoor environments. The aim is to ensure high quality, safety, and uniformity across all preschools in the city, while also streamlining the construction process. The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Administration supports the idea but requests more detailed information, clarification on the limits to the number of departments, and how it will impact ongoing projects.

Stockholm City plans to replace outdated and unclear paper maps of local regulations with a new digital map. Additionally, the requirement to pick up dog waste will extend city-wide, rather than just the inner city. The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration supports digitalization but requests a clearer plan for citizen access to the new map, while numerous dog parks and alcohol-free zones across the city are slated for adjustment.

The City of Stockholm is developing an action plan to strengthen children's rights and influence until 2030, aiming for all children to have their rights met, counter discrimination, and promote equal living conditions within city operations. The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör City District Administration supports the plan but seeks clearer guidance on how children's rights will be considered in all strategic decisions, including budgets, and how children will receive feedback on their input.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council has reviewed an application from Ateljéns Pizza Slaktis, located at Hallgränd 53 in Johanneshov, to serve alcohol until 01:00 indoors and 00:00 outdoors daily. The district administration recommends approving the application, as they foresee no social disadvantages for the area.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council has decided to permanently move Gesundens LSS group home to Tussmötevägen 120D in spring 2026, ensuring a long-term solution as previous premises failed to meet fire safety requirements. While residents have been informed and accepted the move, their monthly rent will increase by 1,500 – 3,100 SEK at the new location.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council is updating which employees are authorized to request police or correctional services assistance. This is for implementing decisions regarding compulsory care for young people (LVU), placing children in protective housing, and compulsory care for adults with substance abuse issues (LVM), aiming to ensure timely execution of crucial protective measures and care interventions when needed.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council is updating its internal decision-making rules to streamline administration. This aims to speed up the handling of routine matters by assigning them to officials or specific politicians instead of the full council, including clearer responsibilities for social services decisions like emergency and sheltered housing. These changes will take effect on March 24, 2026.

A new procurement process will be initiated for park investments in Stockholm's southern districts, including Enskede-Årsta-Vantör. The current agreement for services like playgrounds, sports fields, and green spaces will not be extended due to unreasonable costs and deficiencies in execution. The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district council is tasked with carrying out this procurement alongside Farsta, Hägersten-Älvsjö, Skarpnäck, and Skärholmen.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council has reviewed its finances for February 2026 and expects to stay within the overall annual budget. However, a deficit of SEK 5.5 million is projected for individual and family care, primarily due to high care costs for children and youth, where measures are being implemented. Conversely, elderly care and individual and family care for new arrivals are expected to show surpluses.

Opposition parties in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör criticized the deficient snow removal in January and posed nine questions to the district administration. The administration admitted that accessibility was limited and contractors hadn't always met their agreements, disproportionately affecting the elderly and disabled. They now recognize a need to improve collaboration and preparedness for future snowfalls.

A citizen in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör suggested that parks and residential green spaces, especially Vårflodsparken, should be well-maintained and mowed for recreation and safety, and that residents should have more influence over their upkeep. The district administration responded that they are tasked with increasing tall grass in areas not used for recreation to promote biodiversity and reduce costs, but that direct citizen influence over maintenance plans is difficult to implement.
