All agenda items

The Järva District Council approved revised guidelines for association grants, replacing the 2023 rules, and decided that grants for fees or salaries would continue to be treated restrictively. The approved guidelines included a proposal to remove the requirement that an association be based in Järva and to move the reporting deadline to 31 March; the Moderates and Liberals reserved their positions, while the Sweden Democrats submitted a separate statement.

Järva District Council approved the 2026 interim report and forwarded it to the City Executive Board and the city’s auditors. The council also approved the basis for the preschool report, decided to apply for SEK 0.2 million in municipal housing allowance and to return SEK 6.2 million for exercise trails; the Centre Party’s Patrick Amofah reserved his position, calling for stronger preventive work, safety measures and climate action, among other things.

The Järva District Council received and noted the Social Delegation’s minutes from 2, 9, 16 and 23 September 2026. No further decisions were reported.

The committee will review its second four-month report for 2026, covering operations and finances in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör. The administration expects most targets to be met and forecasts a surplus of SEK 13.4 million before carryovers and SEK 9.7 million after; high care costs for children and young people, and uncertainty about population changes, could affect the finances.

Skärholmen District Administration commented on proposals for a more equitable preschool that supports language development. The administration supported, among other things, better monitoring of attendance and expanded free preschool, but objected to several proposals on language assessment and called for clearer rules, long-term government funding, and time to evaluate the measures. The minutes did not state what the City Executive Board decided.

The committee considered a citizen proposal to investigate the local effects of the needle exchange programme on Södermalm. The administration found that the programme’s impact could not be separated from that of other services, since several support services are located in the Maria district; the source material does not state the outcome of the decision.

The administration proposed banning alcohol at Hornstulls strand, where drug dealing and people under the influence of alcohol or drugs were causing a sense of insecurity. The ban would give the police better opportunities to target their efforts and help improve public safety, but the supporting documents do not state what the meeting decided.

The Södermalm District Council considered its second interim report for 2026. The administration assessed that the City Council’s three overarching goals would be met and forecast a surplus of SEK 65 million before transfers of results and SEK 53.2 million after.

The Södermalm District Council commented on the government’s proposals for a more equitable preschool system with better support for children’s language development. The proposals included compulsory preschool for some children, rules on group sizes and staff-to-child ratios, and requirements for staff to have knowledge of Swedish.

The Norra innerstad district council will consider a consultation proposal to create more opportunities for pétanque competitions in Stockholm. The proposal by Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) would allow parts of the parking area at the planned Ulvsunda sports centre in Bromma to be used as temporary pétanque courts during major competitions, while serving as a parking area at other times. The administration welcomes more pétanque areas but believes that other bodies, particularly the one responsible for operating and maintaining the parking area, need to assess whether the proposal is feasible.

The Norra innerstaden District Council is to comment on a proposed tree policy for all of Stockholm, guiding how trees are preserved, managed, and planned in urban development. The policy includes a goal of replacing every tree that is felled with two new ones and increasing canopy cover to at least 30 percent in areas at risk of becoming urban heat islands. The administration proposes approving the policy but wants it to be easier to read and supplemented with Stockholm’s tree history, the architectural significance of trees, and clearer rules for protecting and assessing trees in construction projects.

The Norra inner-city district administration proposes that the committee approve the response to questions about safety at the entrance to Tessinparken facing Valhallavägen. The renovation has provided the area with new lighting poles, strings of lights, flowering trees and lower hedges; cleaning, police and mobile security patrols, as well as the social services’ outreach work, will also continue because some people still feel unsafe there.

A citizen proposal suggests moving the senior center Rioträffen from Sandhamnsgatan 4 to larger premises at Sandhamnsgatan 8, so that the café could remain open during lectures and other activities. The administration agrees that more space is needed but proposes that the district council approve the response that a move is not currently possible, as the premises at Sandhamnsgatan 8 are used by home care services, the health promotion unit, and the adult education association, and are not large enough for all the activities.

A citizen proposal suggests at least 100 allotment gardens at Kaknäs, where waiting lists for existing plots in the inner city can be as long as 20 years. The administration supports urban gardening but does not recommend permanent allotment gardens at the site, as it is located in the Royal National City Park, is at risk of flooding, and is used by the public; instead, it proposes gardening in raised beds or other urban gardening solutions.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Administration proposes that the committee support a review and increase of funding for day activities for older people. Funding has increased by only about 30 percent since the choice-based system was introduced in 2009, despite higher costs, and better financing should support quality, social connection, and enable older people to remain living at home longer; in May 2026, 87 people in the district had been granted access to day activities.

The administration proposes that the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council approve the purchase or leasing of a specially adapted transport bus to replace a nine-year-old bus. The bus would transport materials and people to events such as neighborhood meetings, safety days, and summer plazas; since no electric model meets the requirements for at least nine cubic meters of cargo space and two rows of passenger seats, an exemption from the city’s environmental vehicle regulations is proposed.

The district administration proposes that Turinge short-term residential home for children and young people with disabilities move permanently from Gamla Magelungsvägen 14 to larger premises at Tussmötevägen 173. The move would accommodate more users and enable daytime short-term stays, while the current lease expires on 31 December 2026 and the new premises are expected to reduce costs.

The Social Services Administration and Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Administration propose approving the planning of a new group home in Högdalen. The home will have six apartments for people with disabilities under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS), with staff available around the clock, and is expected to be completed in 2028 near Högdalen centre and the metro. The initial annual rent is estimated at approximately SEK 1.6 million.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration proposes that the district council approve the follow-up of the six group homes in Vantör operated by Unika LSS Omsorg Sthlm AB. The services are generally considered to meet the contractual requirements and provide participation, individualized support, and health-promoting activities, but improvements are needed in areas including staffing, onboarding, and internal controls; over the past year, seven Lex Sarah reports and ten comments or complaints were handled.

A food truck is proposed to operate at Skärholmstorget from 20 April to 31 December 2026, between 10:00 and 18:00. The truck is 5.2 metres long, 2.1 metres wide, and 2.3 metres high, and the Skärholmen District Administration recommends that the application be approved without objections.
