The City Council proposes revoking the overarching decision for Fokus Skärholmen, a major urban development project with 7,200 planned homes, due to difficulties in project follow-up amid significant changes and new additions. Instead, follow-up will occur at the project level for four new initiatives: Ålgrytevägen, Kråksätra, Östra Bredäng, and Sätra centrum. While Ålgrytevägen (900 homes, camping development) is deemed profitable and receives its own directive, Kråksätra, Östra Bredäng (740 homes), and Sätra centrum (new district center and homes) are considered less profitable but essential for the area's development and are approved for continued planning. The City Executive Office acknowledges the project's positive potential but highlights the financial demands of its low profitability, while Liberals and Christian Democrats criticize the current administration for stalled projects, worsened finances, and advocate for increased profitability and more ownership-based housing to avoid city debt.

The City of Stockholm's Disability Ombudsman submitted the 2025 report to the City Council, detailing challenges and successes in ensuring full participation for people with disabilities, based on the UN's review of Sweden's Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. While the majority of the City Executive Board recommends approving the report, several opposition parties, including the Moderates and Centre Party, have dissented, criticizing its insufficient focus on issues like school transport for disabled children, out-of-hours care, and economic vulnerability, proposing an external review of school transport and concrete action to address identified shortcomings.

Stockholm City Council will decide on implementing a 24/7 alcohol ban at the intersection of Fleminggatan/Sankt Eriksgatan on Kungsholmen, aiming to improve safety and reduce litter, vandalism, and conflicts in an area classified as an open drug scene since 2017. While some parties argue the ban risks being a symbolic gesture without sufficient security personnel, others believe it restricts open city life and prefer alternative safety measures.

The Board of Stockholm Port Company Ltd. approved a letter of intent outlining principles for vessel traffic at Värtapiren and Frihamnspiren, land use in southern Norra Djurgårdsstaden, and land transfer and electrification of Frihamnspiren. This decision prioritizes port operations at Värtapiren and urban development with housing around Frihamnspiren. The agreement also aims to reduce emissions and improve air quality through enhanced shore power supply.

The Ministry of Justice has issued proposals for reforming Sweden's ballot system. The Stockholm Election Board has commented on these proposals. They suggest, among other things, abolishing party ballots without candidate names and giving the Election Authority sole responsibility for distributing ballots to polling stations. The proposal also introduces new requirements for parties to participate with candidate ballots, such as collecting support declarations from voters. The Election Board supports the proposals to implement requirements for parties to participate with candidate ballots and for a candidate to only stand for election to council in one region and one municipality.

The Election Board proposes its budget for 2027, with plans for 2028 and 2029, to the Municipal Board. Preparations for the 2029 European Parliament elections and the 2030 parliamentary elections involve introducing digital ballot papers and digital voter registers, as well as the municipality taking over responsibility for ballots. This will lead to increased costs for data systems, storage facilities, and staff, among other things, to ensure high security and accessibility for all voters in Stockholm.

The Preschool Administration has developed new guidelines for how Stockholm's preschools should assess and provide special support to children, aiming for equitable support regardless of the preschool. These guidelines outline a common process for identifying needs, planning measures, and applying for additional financial support when needs are extensive.

The City Council has approved new guidelines for applying for and securing a spot in preschool and pedagogical care, effective July 1, 2026. Consequently, existing agreements with 115 independent preschools and 13 pedagogical care providers will be terminated, with new agreements to be established to regulate queue management according to the updated guidelines.

The Preschool Committee proposes approving a new framework for pedagogical development time (PUT) for preschool teachers in Stockholm. This framework grants all full-time preschool teachers at least 5 hours per week for planning, analyzing, and developing their teaching. The aim is to ensure high quality in preschools and provide teachers sufficient time for their instructional responsibilities, while also considering local conditions and group sizes.

The Preschool Committee has reviewed its financial report for February 2026. The forecast indicates that the committee's budget is balanced, meaning expenditures are not expected to exceed revenues. This assessment is based on current outcomes and discussions with relevant departments regarding any budget deviations.

The Moderate Party submitted a letter to the Preschool Committee regarding children who do not return to preschool after the summer break. They requested data on "missing" children after summer 2025 and the administration's plan to prevent this; the administration reported three children unaccounted for after summer 2025, two in Hässelby-Vällingby and one in Skärholmen. While no specific action plan exists, they are collaborating with the Social Welfare Committee to develop joint routines against harmful stays abroad.

Sophia Granswed Baat (M) and other politicians inquired with the Preschool Committee about the supervision of independent preschools in Stockholm, specifically regarding the number of supervisory cases in 2025, selection criteria, frequency, actions taken for deficiencies, and safety/quality assurance in municipal preschools. The Preschool Administration reported 87 supervisory cases in 2025, with supervision now risk-based and typically occurring every five years, or more often if needed; deficiencies can lead to enforcement orders or license revocation. For municipal preschools, district councils are responsible for quality and safety, and new child safety guidelines are expected in 2026.

The City of Stockholm has approved new regulations for childcare during non-standard work hours, effective August 17, 2026. These changes include extended operating hours from 5:30 PM to 7:30 AM, a stronger child-focused approach, and the removal of private providers from offering this service. Stricter requirements for in-home childcare will also be implemented.

This matter concerns reporting minutes from the Preschool Committee's management group on March 23, 2026, and the joint council for disability issues of the Education Committee, Preschool Committee, and SISAB on March 18, 2026. The focus is on ensuring preschool teachers have sufficient time for lesson planning and follow-up, discussing working methods and facility utilization in preschools, and measures to enhance school environment accessibility, particularly for individuals with disabilities.

The City Planning Administration has drafted a new detailed development plan for the Snöklockan 4 property in Vasastaden, near Odenplan, aiming to construct a courtyard building with approximately 6 new small rental apartments and preserve the existing culturally significant building. The plan also includes upgrading the inner courtyard for improved amenity and stormwater management. The public is invited to provide feedback on the proposal between March 10 and April 20, 2026, with a consultation meeting scheduled for March 24, 2026, at Tekniska Nämndhuset.

The City Planning Office proposes a new detailed plan for the Trafikflyget 4 property and surrounding areas in Riksby, near Bromma Airport. The plan includes a new building for offices, a hotel, and ground-floor retail, connected to an existing heritage-listed building where hotel operations are confirmed and protected. This proposal aims to create a safer, more accessible environment with more greenery, improved stormwater management, and stronger connections to surrounding areas. Comments on the proposal are welcome until May 4, 2026.

This matter concerns approving reports for S:t Erik Försäkring, a company owned by Stockholm Stadshus AB responsible for the city's and related companies' insurance and risk management. The reports indicate a strong financial position for the company, with a significantly increased solvency ratio. S:t Erik Försäkring also actively works to prevent damages, optimize insurance solutions, and contribute to the city's environmental and climate plans, including analyzing climate-related risks and digitizing its operations.

Local politician Jan Jönsson (L) has inquired about the shortage of trained sheet metal workers in Stockholm and suggested the municipality should take more responsibility for training in professions facing shortages. The Education Department responded that while there are available spots in regional sheet metal worker training programs, too few young people are applying. Since Stockholm's construction technical high school closed in 2019, the city no longer runs its own construction and civil engineering programs and therefore cannot expand this offering. However, the department is working on generally increasing interest in vocational programs.

Politicians from the Centre Party, Liberal Party, and Moderate Party have inquired about the impact of Kronobergsbadet's closure on Kungsholmen on school swimming lessons, expressing concern about declining swimming proficiency. The Education Administration states that four schools with approximately 1,110 students use the pool, but it is practically feasible to move swimming lessons to other pools in the city by offering available times or allowing schools to book their own slots.
