All agenda items

The Waste Management Committee proposes updating Stockholm’s waste regulations to reflect new national rules and the city’s developments in waste management. Among other things, packaging must be collected close to homes by 1 January 2027, and the rules for sorting food waste, textiles, garden waste and fishing gear will be clarified.

The City of Stockholm will consider a consultation on the scope of the strategic environmental assessment for four plans to expand wastewater treatment. The matter will become public after the Mayor’s Office Committee considers it on 7 October 2026.

The matter concerns the Swedish Energy Agency’s analysis of how the climate premium for environmentally friendly work machinery could be developed. The material will become public after consideration by the Council of Mayors’ preparatory committee on 7 October 2026 and will be published no later than when the minutes are released.

The matter concerns a memorandum on energy planning in municipalities and regions and a more energy-efficient public sector. The contents will become public after consideration by the Council of Mayors’ Preparatory Committee on 7 October 2026 and must be published no later than when the minutes are released.

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency proposes new compensation rules for municipalities’ collection of packaging waste, so that payments better reflect costs and are adapted to collection systems being introduced in 2027. The City of Stockholm is proposed to respond to the consultation and welcomes several changes, but believes the proposal should take greater account of costs and practical challenges in densely populated urban areas; the proposed model would increase municipalities’ compensation and producers’ costs by around SEK 7.1 million a year nationally.

The Traffic Committee proposes combining the city’s seven programmes for maintaining and renewing streets, bridges, lighting, traffic signals, trees and other public infrastructure into one programme for 2027–2031. The programme would include investments of SEK 4 billion, with spending increasing over the period, to address the maintenance backlog and reduce the risk of more costly repairs; the work may temporarily affect residents, businesses and road users.

Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) propose that the City of Stockholm investigate a compensation scheme for people who suffered abuse or serious neglect as children in public care, including after 1980. The City proposes that the motion be considered answered, since compensation should, in its view, be investigated and handled at national level; the presenting deputy mayor believes a new government inquiry should cover the period after 1980.

A proposal to begin implementing a national digital infrastructure for health data will be considered. The matter will become public after the mayor’s office committee has considered it on 7 October 2026.

The matter concerns new online offences and other proposals to implement the EU directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence. The supporting documents will be made public after consideration by the mayoral council on 7 October 2026.

Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) propose that the city investigate whether a method similar to the Netherlands’ Online Outreach could be used to detect sexual exploitation online and offer support earlier. Stockholm already conducts online outreach, but the social services administration sees a need to develop this work and believes cooperation may need to take place at regional or national level; the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered.

The Ministry of Social Affairs proposes a new law allowing the Swedish Social Insurance Agency to collect and use information to monitor rehabilitation initiatives funded by coordination associations. The City of Stockholm proposes a positive response to the referral, but wants clarification on what information municipalities and regions must provide and how. The law is proposed to take effect on 1 July 2027, and personal data must be protected.

The City Planning Committee and the Cultural Affairs Committee propose joint guidance on how the city should take account of buildings, places and areas of cultural heritage value when reviewing plans and building permit applications. It will apply during the transition period until a new comprehensive plan is expected to be adopted in 2028 and the city’s heritage map is complete, and will give residents and property owners clearer information about the rules.

The City Council is proposed to adopt a detailed development plan for southern Rågsved, enabling around 320 homes, a preschool, and premises for services and businesses along Bjursätragatan. The plan will also improve walking and cycling routes and create opportunities to upgrade parts of Rågdalen and the Perssons betong event site, though some natural areas will be affected.

The matter concerns rules for the climate impact of buildings over their entire life cycle and threshold values for that impact. The contents will become public after consideration by the Committee on Councillor Matters on 7 October 2026.

The Executive Board’s interim report for January–August 2026 will be considered and sets out the city’s goals, operations and finances. The Board considers that its work is helping the city meet its goals for the year and forecasts a surplus of SEK 76 million; it proposes that the report be approved and submitted to the city’s auditors.

The matter concerns an acting data protection officer for the City Executive Board. The contents will become public after consideration by the mayor’s office on 7 October 2026 and will be published no later than with the minutes.

The matter concerns a memorandum on value-added tax (VAT) on the rental and transfer of real property. Its contents will become public after consideration by the Council of Mayors on 7 October 2026 and will be published no later than with the minutes.

The City of Stockholm proposes responding to the consultation on municipalities’ ability to accommodate major business investments with the city’s statement. The city generally supports the proposals, but calls for long-term national government funding, clearer responsibilities among the national, regional and municipal levels, and greater focus on skills supply, electricity supply and Sweden’s competitiveness.

The City Council will consider a revised proposal to build around 130 new homes and commercial premises at Hyppingeplan and Risingeplan in Tensta. The city is proposed to invest about SEK 95.3 million in the project, which will also make the streets more pedestrian-friendly and the area safer; construction is planned to start in 2028.

The City Executive Board proposes that the Urban Development Committee build the open section of the central park at Årstafältet for SEK 225.7 million, with construction planned to start in autumn 2028 and the park to open in 2030. The park will give residents and preschools access to play, recreation and greenery, and will include paths, mounds, seating areas and pavilions.
