Stockholm City Parking AB reports its financial monthly report for November 2025. The company's loan debt amounted to SEK 1,495 million, a decrease of SEK 31 million from the previous month, with the interest rate for the month being 2.61 percent. The report also includes an interest rate forecast for the municipal group's loans and describes how the company's loans are adapted to the city's finance policy.

Stockholm Parkering's 2025 annual report shows a better financial result than budgeted, mainly due to increased revenue from electric vehicle charging and visitor parking, contributing 170 million kronor to Stockholm City Hall AB. Planned investments in new parking garages have been postponed, but work continues on creating more parking spaces in the city with a focus on sustainability and accessibility.

The board of Stockholm City Parking AB has approved its budget for 2026, projecting a profit of 100 million SEK, exceeding the City Council's requirement of 80 million SEK due to higher revenues from electric car charging and parking. The company will continue to be the city's charging operator and manage parking facilities built by housing companies. Additionally, several parking solution projects have concluded, while others, including those at Kristineberg and Årstafältet, have been revised to continue.

This item presents a report on pension matters decided for 2025 within the City of Stockholm, informing the City Council about the number of decisions made during the year concerning old-age, survivor's, and deferred pensions, annuities, and special contractual pensions. This is an internal administrative report and does not involve any new decisions directly affecting residents.

The City Executive Office reports on disputes and reassignments within the City of Stockholm during 2025, noting an increase in disputes compared to previous years. The report details 36 cases in 2025 where the city and trade unions disagreed, aiming to provide an overview of the city's labor law efforts and their evolution.

The City of Stockholm plans to renovate Sankt Eriksbron between Kungsholmen and Vasastaden, including widening the bike lanes, due to rust and damage to the bridge structure. While the project costs have increased, the city deems these measures crucial for the bridge's function and lifespan, and to improve safety and flow for cyclists.

Council member Hanna Werner (M) proposed developing Odenplan into a greener, more vibrant, and safer urban square with better bicycle parking. The city responded that efforts to green Odenplan are already underway with flower urns and temporary furnishings, and improvements to the bicycle garage are planned to meet e-bike demand. However, the majority believes a major overhaul of Odenplan should not be planned currently due to ongoing and future subway construction.

Councilor Claes Nyberg (C) proposed introducing sibling priority for preschool placements, meaning children would get priority if a sibling attends a nearby or linked primary school, aiming to ease family stress and promote equality. The City Executive Board rejected the proposal, finding it unjustified without extensive investigations, citing differing organizational structures between preschools and schools and varying conditions across the city.

Council members Ismail Ali and Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that all Stockholm preschools should have the opportunity to garden as part of their teaching, citing benefits for children's health, motor skills, and understanding of nature and sustainability. They called for a plan to integrate this into operations, even for preschools without their own yards. The City of Stockholm responded that gardening is already part of the curriculum and that initiatives for greener preschool yards and sustainability are ongoing, thus deeming a new city-wide plan unnecessary.

Liberal Party members proposed that Stockholm investigate the living conditions of elderly LGBTQI+ individuals in elder care, require LGBTQI+ competence in elder care procurements, and offer continuous training to staff on respectful treatment. They argue that elderly LGBTQI+ individuals are particularly vulnerable and may conceal their identity due to fear of discrimination. The City Executive Board proposes responding to the motion by referencing ongoing work with the city's action plan for LGBTQI+ rights and other initiatives aimed at ensuring inclusive elder care, rather than a separate investigation or temporary projects.

Kristin Jacobsson (C) proposed Stockholm city adhere to the Council of Europe's anti-trafficking convention by granting potential victims 30-day reflection permits and a "rights package" including housing, legal aid, and psychological support. The Social Welfare Committee responded that they are already actively working on this and revising their program against violence and prostitution; however, both the Salvation Army Safe Havens and Talita supported the motion, highlighting authorities' lack of knowledge which results in few reflection period applications.

The City of Stockholm will streamline decisions regarding social services interventions that do not require a needs assessment, a new provision under the updated Social Services Act. The Labour Market, Social, and Elderly Care Committees have been temporarily authorized until 2028 to make these city-wide decisions, aiming to accelerate the implementation of the new law, though district administrations will still be consulted. The Moderates criticized the pace of the transition and requested more frequent follow-ups for increased transparency.

The City of Stockholm supports the Ministry of Education's proposal for the Swedish Prison and Probation Service to be responsible for schooling children and young people in prison. While positive, the City emphasizes that the Prison and Probation Service must maintain high-quality education with qualified teachers, and ensure easy information transfer for students transitioning between their school and the regular school system.

The City of Stockholm will adjust pension contributions for elected officials, including politicians and others holding assignments. This means pension contributions will increase from 4.5% to 6% on income up to 7.5 income base amounts, and from 30% to 31.5% on income exceeding that. This change, effective January 1, 2025, aims to align politicians' pensions with those of municipal and regional employees, a development welcomed by Municipal Commissioner Emilia Bjuggren.

The City of Stockholm plans to construct a new artificial turf football pitch with underfloor heating and a new service building at Gubbängen sports field, to be completed in 2028. This project, including changing rooms, a café, and theory rooms, will partially be leased by Hammarby IF Football, aiming to alleviate the severe shortage of football pitches and benefit both grassroots and elite sports in southern Stockholm. However, debate exists regarding the extent to which the pitch will benefit Hammarby specifically versus other clubs.

Stockholm City Executive Board has commented on Lidingö Municipality's housing action plan, which aims for approximately 50 new homes annually over the next decade, focusing on special housing for the elderly and disabled. Stockholm criticizes this plan, arguing Lidingö should build substantially more – at least 100-244 homes per year – to meet regional needs and contribute to the Stockholm region's development.

Mikael Valier Furtenbach (KD) proposed that Stockholm introduce special architectural zones in older areas like the City and inner districts, with rules on height, volume, materials, and style to preserve existing architecture. The City Executive Board rejected the motion, stating that current regulations are sufficient to protect cultural environments and that the city should also develop and allow new styles reflecting their own era.

The City of Stockholm plans to establish Ålstensskogen and Storskogen in Bromma as nature reserves. Covering approximately 67.2 hectares, including water, the area stretches from Storskogen north of Alviksvägen to Solviksbadet in the south. This initiative aims to protect the valuable nature, including old-growth forests and rich wildlife, and to preserve the area for recreation and outdoor activities for residents.

Stockholmshem plans to construct 76 new rental apartments across two point-block Stockholmshus buildings in Solberga, Hägersten, and will also convert an existing boiler house and office building.
