The Skärholmen district council will select a new alternate member for its pensioners' council. Lena Renner, nominated by SPF Seniorerna, is proposed for election until December 31, 2026. This appointment will ensure the council has full representation from pensioners' organizations, enabling it to better advocate for seniors' interests.

The Skärholmen District Council has updated its delegation of authority, changing the rules for who can make various decisions within Skärholmen's social services. This ongoing update adjusts legal references and clarifies processes for data protection, information security, and handling Lex Sarah and Lex Maria cases. While some decisions can now be made at a lower level, the council retains the right to decide on matters concerning personal integrity, such as paternity investigations and custody transfers.

The Skärholmen District Committee has decided to designate fifteen named officials who can request police assistance in cases involving the care of children and young people under the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU) and the Act on Placement in Protected Accommodation. This measure aims to ensure swift implementation of necessary interventions, such as when a guardian opposes a decision. This new decision replaces previous similar authorizations.

This document is the Skärholmen District Committee's activity report for 2025, reviewing the year's budget utilization and operational performance. The report provides a detailed analysis of the committee's financial outcomes and investments, including addressing deficits in certain preschool units through action plans. The committee also assessed its internal control as sufficient for the year and outlines ongoing innovation initiatives in preschools, LSS activities, and youth recreation in Skärholmen.

The Skärholmen District Committee is allocating a total of SEK 125,000 in grants to associations for district days in 2026. Four associations will receive funding: Stockholms Stadsmission (Vårberg, SEK 25,000), Drömstort (Sätra, SEK 25,000), Svensk-Azerbajdzjanska kulturföreningen (Skärholmen, SEK 50,000), and Jakobsbergs gård (Bredäng, SEK 25,000). These grants are intended for open events that promote community, culture, and activities for residents.

The Skärholmen District Council has decided to allocate grants for community activities in 2026. A total of 22 associations have been awarded grants amounting to SEK 398,890. These funds are intended for activities that strengthen community, promote integration, democracy, equality, and safety for residents in Bredäng, Sätra, Skärholmen, and Vårberg, with a particular focus on newly arrived women and girls, as well as children and young people.

The Moderate Party has submitted a motion to the municipal council proposing to make cycling in Stockholm safer and better. They advocate for improved coordination between different modes of transport, clearer signage, better maintenance of cycle paths, and more bicycle parking, aiming for a total of 10,000 new locking posts. The Skärholmen District Administration supports the proposal to enhance cycling conditions, even though most Skärholmen residents are already satisfied with cyclist safety and accessibility, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvements for both climate and public health.

The motion proposes that the Stockholm City Council initiate a pilot project for a "citizen budget," allowing residents to decide how a portion of municipal funds are used to reduce social inequalities. While similar projects have succeeded in cities like Paris and Lund, the Skärholmen district administration believes a pilot is unnecessary as most districts already employ this approach, citing Skärholmen's own successful citizen budget in 2025 where residents voted on fruit tree and berry bush plantings in Bredängsparken.

Stockholm City is revising its food strategy to promote good health, reduce climate impact, and strengthen food preparedness. The Skärholmen District Council supports the proposal but foresees challenges in adapting diets in elderly care, as residents often prefer traditional home-style cooking. The Council for the Elderly requests an elderly impact assessment and stresses the importance of residents receiving familiar food, on-site food preparation in elderly care, and staff receiving cooking training.

The Moderates, Centre Party, and Liberals have proposed establishing a business council in Skärholmen to boost the local business climate and enhance safety. The administration agrees on the importance of local business but suggests waiting for the establishment of four new business development officers for all of Stockholm, one of whom will work in Skärholmen, to coordinate efforts more effectively.

The Centre Party, Moderates, Liberals, and Sweden Democrats in Skärholmen inquired about training for staff on how to act during active shooter situations (PDV) and how the safety of both employees and politicians is ensured. The Skärholmen district administration responded that they have procedures for handling threats and violence, and that they are participating in a city-wide procurement process for PDV training. They are also open to discussing training for the district committee's politicians.

A citizen proposed building a hobby horse obstacle course on the green space at Sätravarvsvägen 41, near the Sätra Riding Arena. The administration welcomes the idea, believing it could encourage play and physical activity among children and young people. The matter has been forwarded to the sports administration to be handled with relevant stakeholders.

A citizen proposal was submitted to the Skärholmen district council with nine suggestions to improve the inclusion of children with neuropsychiatric disabilities (NPD) in preschools and social services. The proposal includes staff training, adapted facilities, and better interaction. The district administration believes that several of the suggestions are already covered by existing work on accessibility and participation, but agrees on the importance of competence development and adaptations being made based on the specific needs of the operations. Individual education plans will be established to ensure staff have the right knowledge.

The protocol from Skarpnäck District Council's Pensioner Council shows that elderly issues are addressed, including home care and patient safety in nursing homes. The council supports proposals on winter road maintenance and traffic safety, but calls for better accessibility for the elderly and coordination of efforts. They also express concern about how a revised food strategy might affect the elderly.

This is a list of incoming and outgoing correspondence and matters to and from the Skarpnäck City District Administration. Among other things, Bagarmossen Folkets Hus applied for financial support for the "Gubbröraran" project, which was rejected with reference to ordinary association grants. There are also citizen proposals to replace the gravel with artificial turf on Bagarmossen's open ball court and to lay artificial ice on Tätorp's ball court.

A citizen proposes replacing the gravel field at Bagarmossen center with artificial turf. This would activate the area, improve public health, and increase safety and youth activities in Bagarmossen. Simple lighting is also suggested to enhance the field's usability.

This motion proposes the city enhance pedestrian safety at crosswalks, citing over 4,000 injuries and 12 traffic fatalities in 2023, many involving pedestrians. The Liberals advocate for mapping dangerous locations and prioritizing improvements like better lighting, clearer markings, and raised crosswalks. The Skarpnäck District Administration notes these proposals fall outside their purview and defer to the Traffic Committee's expertise.

Councilor Therese Lindström (M) proposes to permanently open a northbound lane for car traffic on Skanstullsbron to reduce queues and traffic congestion in Södra innerstaden, especially as Skansbron is rebuilt and becomes one-way southbound. The Skarpnäck District Administration welcomes solutions for improved accessibility for all types of traffic but refers the matter to the traffic committee's expertise, as it falls outside their area of responsibility.

Two Liberal politicians propose Stockholm implement a "District Boost" (Stadsdelslyft) to combat insecurity and crime in vulnerable areas, similar to Fokus Järva but broader, with a clear action plan including goals for all involved committees and companies. However, the Skarpnäck District Administration argues that such work is already effectively underway within existing structures and that Skarpnäck does not face the problems the motion addresses; rather, it is experiencing positive development.

The City of Stockholm is implementing a new food program, "Good Food for Health, Climate, and Environment," to replace its previous food strategy. This program aims to promote sustainable and healthy food within municipal operations like schools and elderly care, while also reducing residents' climate impact from food consumption. Key measures include increasing organic food requirements (at least 70% organic, 100% for dairy), cutting climate emissions from procured foods by 40% by 2030, and strengthening the city's food supply preparedness.
