The Farsta District Council noted the minutes of the Senior Citizens’ Council meeting on 14 September 2026. The council had discussed, among other things, seniors’ need for meeting spaces, planned digital night-time supervision, and traffic safety at Sköndal’s shopping centre, where it called for a review of the pedestrian crossings.

The Farsta District Council submitted the administration’s response to the consultation on a detailed development plan for a new remand prison in Larsboda, with space for up to 200 people and around 170 jobs. The administration supported the park and the measures to manage cloudbursts, but called for a dry meadow and a water storage facility; a joint statement by the Left Party and the Social Democrats, joined by the Sweden Democrats, noted that eight parking spaces might be too few for staff and visitors.

The Farsta District Council appointed Robert Eklund and Patrik Forslin as members of the joint council for disability issues for Enskede-Årsta-Vantör, Farsta and Skarpnäck. They were nominated by Funktionsrätt Stockholms stad, and their appointments run for the remainder of the 2023–2026 term.

Farsta district council approved the administration’s response to the City Audit Office’s review of welfare technology in elderly care and sent it to the audit office. The review found that few technological solutions had been tested or introduced and that the city was lagging behind other municipalities; the administration described, among other things, ongoing work to gather needs from its services and plans to test digital night-time monitoring. Representatives of the Moderate Party, Liberals, Centre Party and Sweden Democrats submitted separate statements criticizing the city’s slow progress.

The Farsta district council approved the 2026 interim report and decided to apply for several budget adjustments and reallocate funds to parks, playgrounds and other urban environment projects. The council also approved planning decisions for four projects and set the threshold for accruals at SEK 50,000; the Moderate Party, Liberals, Centre Party and Sweden Democrats entered reservations against the decision.

The Pensioners’ Council reviewed the 2025 annual report on elderly care and received information about Järva’s six meeting places for older people, which offer cultural events and activities. The administration also reported on efforts to involve the councils earlier and more clearly in committee decisions; the councils noted improvements but said that feedback and influence needed to be strengthened. The district council filed the minutes and appendices.

The Järva District Council noted the minutes of the Disability Council’s meeting on 18 September 2026. The council was informed about how the administration considers people with disabilities in official decisions and works with Region Stockholm; members made suggestions and expressed a wish to remain involved in the work.

The Järva District Council approved reporting to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate on 40 decisions to provide support under the Social Services Act and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments that had not been implemented within three months during the second quarter of 2026. Of these, 19 remained to be implemented; the rest had been implemented or closed during the quarter.

Järva District Council noted the matter after reviewing the administration’s consultation response on how funds for financial assistance should be allocated. The administration supported updating land values to 2022 levels and reducing the number of attractiveness groups from eight to six, but also called for other factors, such as employment, income and education, to be reviewed.

The Järva District Council approved the administration’s response and sent it to the Social Services Department. The council had no objections to SP Invest’s application for an alcohol licence for Restaurang Vanak, provided that staff are trained in responsible alcohol service and that rules on public order and age limits are followed; the minutes did not state a final decision on the licence itself.

The Järva District Council approved the administration’s response and sent it to the City Executive Board. The administration had no objections to the proposal to use part of the parking area at Ulvsunda Sports Centre for pétanque courts during major competitions, but felt that the Sports Administration and Bromma District Administration should assess the need further.

The Järva District Council approved the administration’s statement and sent it to the City Executive Board in response to the consultation; the decision was adjusted immediately. The statement supported a shared description of the cultural coordinator’s role, but called for clearer support to reach groups that currently have less access to culture, including through cooperation between districts, analysis and communications support.

The Järva District Council approved the administration’s response to a written submission about concern reports involving children aged 0–5. Reports from preschools rose from 40 in 2024 to 69 in 2025, while those from child health centres increased from 33 to 46; the administration described training, cooperation and a pilot project in Tensta in autumn 2026 to identify children who need support earlier.

The Järva District Council approved the administration’s response to the Centre Party’s submission about the risk of employees being deported and the recruitment pool shrinking. The administration said its long-term workforce planning and recruitment procedures help it retain and recruit staff, but that it follows current immigration rules and cannot influence individual decisions by government authorities.

The Järva District Council approved the administration’s response to a proposal to install deposit-bottle tubes on litter bins. There are already just over 100 tubes in the area, and the administration planned to gradually install more where the bins are suitable; the council decided in line with the administration’s proposal.

The Järva District Council approved the review of its partnership with Studiefrämjandet Mälardalen and decided that the association must repay SEK 133,576 that had not been used in 2025. The activities included parental support and assistance to local associations, and were considered to have helped achieve the partnership’s goals. Nassir Abdullahi Ali (S) declared a conflict of interest and left the room; the council decided in line with the administration’s proposal.

The Järva District Council approved the 2025 review of its partnership with Tensta Träff and filed the report. The partnership met its goals despite renovation work, and the premises were used for youth activities, education and culture. The council adopted the administration’s proposal.

The Järva District Council approved the 2025 follow-up report and filed it. The Women’s Centre in Tensta Hjulsta had offered local women a place to meet, with activities and support to counter loneliness and social isolation; the council adopted the administration’s proposal.

The Järva District Council approved the 2025 follow-up report on its partnership with Rinkeby Folkets Hus and filed the report. The programme supported women in moving closer to employment or studies, and offered children and young people homework help and study support; two council members declared a conflict of interest and left the room.

The Järva District Council approved the 2025 follow-up report on its partnership with Verdandi Tensta and noted it. The service averaged 300 visits a week, but the council noted that the partnership needed to be more structured to fully meet its goals.
