The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration proposes that the district committee rejects an application for a serving permit for Afrikan Vibes, Snösätragränd 10 in Bandhagen. The application concerns serving spirits, wine, beer, and other fermented alcoholic beverages on an outdoor patio between 11:00 AM and 11:00 PM, from April to October. The administration believes that the permit could lead to negative social, order-related, and environmental consequences in the area, which is located near Rågsved nature reserve and where there are activities for children and youth.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration will report to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO) on its work preventing and managing risks and shortcomings in social services, particularly elderly care, under Lex Sarah. This is in response to IVO's request for information as part of a national review aimed at increasing safety for the elderly. The administration confirms it has established routines, actively conducts internal controls, and trains staff, noting 60 Lex Sarah reports between 2023 and 2025, with 25 concerning elderly care.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration proposes appointing Marcus Nilsson as the Medically Responsible for Rehabilitation (MAR) starting May 1, 2026. This appointment is in response to a new legal requirement effective July 1, 2026, mandating that every municipality have an MAR to ensure quality and patient safety in municipal rehabilitation services.

The Social Services Department and the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Administration propose planning a new group home with six apartments for individuals with disabilities in the Blixtlåset 1 property, Enskede-Årsta-Vantör. This facility, expected to be completed by 2030 with an estimated annual rent of approximately SEK 1.3 million, addresses the city's significant shortage of housing for this group.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council will address a letter from Peter Backlund (L) and Urban Rybrink (L) expressing concern about the recruitment of children and youth into far-right activist clubs in southern Stockholm. The district administration outlines its ongoing work against violent extremism, which is integrated into crime prevention efforts and involves collaboration with schools, social services, police, and recreation (SSPF), alongside guidelines to prevent extremism and bar extremist groups from using municipal premises. The administration proposes that the council approve their official statement in response to the letter.

The Left Party, Social Democrats, and Green Party questioned the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration regarding a web-based training for managers on Environmental Program 2030, noting that only 44 percent had completed it. The administration responded that the one-hour training summarizes the program, and they have promoted it through reminders and will integrate it into new manager onboarding, aiming for all managers to be knowledgeable about the program through various means.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council will address a Center Party letter concerning the impact of so-called "competence deportations" on the district's staffing needs. The Center Party questions how the administration can ensure staffing when employees, particularly in elder care and preschools, face deportation risks. The District Administration replies that they are implementing a three-year strategy to attract and retain staff and view competence provision as a significant challenge, but currently find it difficult to assess the effects of potential competence deportations.

A citizen proposed building a boules court and adding park furniture in Margaretaparken. The district administration views the proposal positively, believing it would diversify spontaneous sports areas, and finds a gravel boules area feasible, though a court with a border would not suit the park. The board is now deciding whether to approve the administration's response to the citizen proposal.

A citizen proposal suggests converting the sunbathing jetties at Årstaviken into swimming jetties with benches and sunbathing areas, also questioning why swimming in Årstaviken wouldn't be suitable. However, the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration advises against this, as Årstaviken is part of the Stockholmleden waterway used by larger boats, making swimming there, especially on the southern side, inappropriate.

The Skarpnäck District Council will be informed about incoming and outgoing correspondence, as well as excerpts from meeting minutes. This includes citizen proposals to replace gravel with artificial turf at Nytorps gärde and to build a dance floor in Skarpaby park, plus a viewpoint on advertising displays on Stångåvägen in Bagarmossen. The council will also receive information from reports by various departments, including the Culture Administration, Preschool Administration, and the City Executive Office.

The Skarpnäck District Council is set to review three citizen proposals: one suggests converting Tätorp's ball court into an artificial ice rink due to the lack of outdoor options in the district. Another proposes replacing the gravel football pitch at Nytorps gärde with artificial turf for increased usability for children and youth. The third aims to build a simple 30-square-meter dance floor in Skarpaby park for summer dance and activities.

The Skarpnäck District Council is addressing a letter from politicians concerned about the recruitment of children and youth into right-wing extremist groups. While the district administration reports no confirmed cases of such recruitment, they acknowledge the presence of right-wing extremist graffiti in public spaces and outline ongoing preventative work, collaboration with schools and police, and existing routines to handle concerns related to violent extremism, with further development of these procedures planned. They also assure that processes are in place to prevent the misuse of municipal premises and grants by inappropriate actors.

A citizen proposal suggests upgrading Magnebergsparken in Enskededalen with perennial beds, bushes, and more lilacs, also dividing the park into "rooms" for play, grilling, and relaxation. The Skarpnäck district administration is positive and includes the park in its long-term renovation plans, but no investments are planned before a major upgrade can begin, earliest 2030, due to the high cost exceeding the district administration's budget.

The Skarpnäck District Council is set to review a citizen proposal from Åsa Malmström to create deer-resistant flowering field edges around Nytorps gärde to support pollinators, arguing it would benefit visitors and the ecosystem. However, the district administration recommends against pursuing the proposal in its current form, citing existing initiatives like meadow mowing and bulb planting for biodiversity, and concerns that wide flowering zones would impact accessibility, maintenance, and incur unbudgeted costs.

The Skarpnäck District Committee will consider a citizen proposal for all municipal meals to be entirely plant-based, citing reduced emissions and more efficient preparation of special diets. The District Administration notes they already work to reduce meat consumption per city programs, but a fully plant-based diet is currently offered as a special option, not the standard.

The Stockholm Social Welfare Administration has responded to a government referral regarding the establishment of a crime-fighting unit within the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) to investigate benefit fraud. The administration opposes this proposal due to potential risks and negative consequences, such as eroding public trust in Försäkringskassan and undermining the social services' role as society's ultimate safety net. While the Social Welfare Administration supports establishing an intelligence-gathering unit, it rejects the idea of municipalities handling administrative sanctions for benefit fraud within financial assistance.

The Social Welfare Committee will review a summary of the Health and Social Care Inspectorate's (IVO) supervision of Söderort HVB for girls and Söderort emergency and short-term housing. IVO identified deficiencies in the handling of threats, violence, and abuse at Söderort HVB for girls, and in previous house rules that limited the self-determination of children and young people at Söderort emergency and short-term housing. The administration assesses that measures have been taken to rectify these shortcomings, and IVO will not undertake further supervisory actions.

The Social Welfare Committee is to distribute 1.7 million SEK to private providers of services under the LSS and SoL Acts in Stockholm. This funding, from the City Council's 2026 budget, is earmarked for enhancing staff wellness programs among these providers. The allocation will be based on the number of employees and the proportion of services delivered to Stockholm residents, aiming to support employee well-being.

The Culture Administration proposes that the Culture Committee grant SEK 750,000 to Södergården on Södermalm to establish a meeting place for young trans people aged 18–30. This initiative aims to combat social isolation, improve mental health, and provide a safe and inclusive community through activities like café meetups and workshops. The service is planned to launch in June 2026, staffed by personnel with specialized expertise in trans issues.

The Environment Department proposes new dietary recommendations for self-caught fish in Stockholm waters due to elevated PFAS levels, especially PFOS. Eating self-caught fish from Magelungen and Drevviken is discouraged for everyone. For other lakes like Brunnsviken, Ulvsundasjön, and Årstaviken, children, pregnant individuals, and those planning pregnancy should limit consumption to 2-3 times per year, while others can eat fish once a week; these are recommendations, not prohibitions.
