The Bromma City District Council is set to approve a statement responding to a referral from the City Executive Board regarding a new program for urban farming. This program aims to strengthen Stockholm's role as a cultivating city by comprehensively addressing urban farming, thereby boosting the city's attractiveness and sustainability. While the Bromma City District Administration welcomes the program, it has raised concerns about coordination, follow-up, and financing for new cultivation areas, and seeks clarification on cultivation in public street areas.

A citizen proposed upgrading sports facilities in Höglandet, specifically converting the gravel field at Nockebyvägen 45 to artificial turf and reviewing the safety of the sports field at Höglandsskolan. Bromma district administration will address safety risks at Höglandsskolan and hopes to improve ice-making at the gravel field (Nockebyvägen 44, not 45), which they want to keep due to its versatility. They acknowledge the need for artificial turf fields and are working on new installations in Traneberg and Abrahamsberg.

The Bromma City District Council will review a citizen proposal to build a bike jump track at Åkeshov, suggested by a group of young people. While the district administration views the idea positively, they recommend not prioritizing construction right now, as current plans don't include more bike parks in the near future. However, the proposal will be considered in future planning and forwarded to the sports administration.

Liberalerna in Bromma inquired how placed children's right to healthcare and dental care is ensured. Bromma district administration stated they follow up on children's health through health check-ups, care plans, ongoing contact with social workers, and a "health card," noting that while mental ill-health is common upon placement, it systematically improves. They also ensure dental care and vaccinations but do not maintain their own statistics on the health status of placed children.

Liberalerna in Bromma inquired about the number of child welfare concerns reported by preschools and BVCs for children aged 0-5, seeking information on trends, inter-agency cooperation, reporting barriers, and preventative measures. Bromma district administration reported stable numbers of concern reports, but noted a low proportion from preschools and BVCs, despite assessing cooperation as functional with ongoing efforts to strengthen collaboration and early intervention.

The Bromma District Council will consider a statement responding to a letter from the Centre Party regarding increasing the number of allotments and urban gardens in Bromma. The administration positively views urban farming but states they cannot identify suitable land without further investigation, are unaware of allotment waiting lists, and that new allotment areas require City Council approval. However, a program for urban farming in Stockholm is currently being developed.

The Bromma District Council is set to discuss a proposal to temporarily activate the gravel areas at Alpvägen in Mariehäll, which residents currently perceive as messy and unsafe. These city and Stockholmshem-owned plots are designated for a future park but require investigation and potential remediation of ground contamination before safe use.

The Bromma District Council will consider a proposal for a detailed development plan for Tranebergsängen sports field. The City Planning Administration suggests creating a seven-a-side artificial turf pitch and an accompanying service building on parts of the existing parkland to increase access to sports facilities in Bromma. The administration is positive towards the proposal but has provided feedback regarding boundary definitions, accessibility during construction, compensatory planting, and parking spaces, among other things.

The Bromma District Council is proposing changes to its delegation of authority, shifting certain decision-making powers to other officials. This includes establishing new delegations for signing agreements regarding the placement of children and young people in temporary and foster homes, due to the city's plan to create a central placement function. Concurrently, some existing delegations concerning follow-up within individual and family care will be removed.

This item reports on several delegated decisions made between May 28 and August 12, 2026. These decisions include referrals for new serving permits for various restaurants and hotels, allowing both indoor and outdoor service until 3:00 AM. Additionally, multiple decisions were made regarding extended time or deviations from rules for preschool and pedagogical care placement, such as allowing children to remain in preschool after moving.

The Norra Innerstaden district council will review its July 2026 monthly report, which projects a year-end surplus of 25.5 million SEK. While areas like local maintenance, parks, home care, financial assistance, labor market measures, and a new youth center in Hjorthagen anticipate deficits, these are offset by surpluses in elder care (due to lower demand) and individual and family care, partly due to fewer refugees and vacant positions.

The Norra innerstaden district council is to provide an opinion on a motion from Andréa Hedin (M) regarding strengthening efforts against gang crime and the recruitment of young people. The motion proposes expanding an existing reinforcement team for social workers with a specialist team to handle cases and mentor social workers on gang-related crime. While the administration agrees on the need for stronger efforts, they believe centralizing case management could weaken local competence and collaboration, suggesting instead that the assessment of competence development and team expansion be left to the social welfare administration.

The City Executive Board proposes revising Stockholm's resource allocation model for financial assistance and labor market measures, based on a review by Sweco. This change will utilize 2022 land values and reduce "attractiveness groups" from eight to six, aiming for a fairer model that better reflects district needs. Norra innerstaden is proposed to receive an increased allocation of approximately 6.9 million SEK, addressing prior deficits and the complex support needs of its residents.

The City of Stockholm is to comment on the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's proposed revised regulations for compensating municipalities for packaging waste collection. These proposals, effective in 2027, aim to make compensation more accurate and adapted to new collection systems, including clearer remuneration for transshipment and collection at recycling centers, plus a new fixed extra payment for densely populated municipalities.

The Norra innerstaden City District Council will discuss a by-election for its Pensioners' Council. Following Karin Pers's resignation from PRO, Sören Löwgren is proposed as a new ordinary member until December 31, 2026. The Pensioners' Council serves as a crucial advisory body addressing general issues concerning the living conditions of seniors in Norra innerstaden.

The City District Boards of Norra innerstaden and Kungsholmen will hold a supplementary election for their joint council on disability issues. This follows the resignation of Mandana Lagerlöf, who represented the National Association for Disabled Children and Youth (RBU). The administration proposes that Marie Kringberg, also from RBU, be appointed as a new member until the end of 2026.

The Sweden Democrats questioned the Norra innerstaden district administration regarding illegal settlements and prolonged camping in parks, arguing it causes insecurity and safety risks, and that the eviction process is too slow. The administration responded by detailing their efforts in park maintenance, cleaning, and collaboration with local police, noting that costs for brush clearing and cleaning related to these issues amounted to 553,000 SEK in 2025, but ultimately assessed the problem is not widespread in the district.

The Moderate, Liberal, and Centre parties inquired about services brought back under municipal management in Norra Innerstaden. The administration reported that five operations were re-municipalized: three care homes (Kampementet, Sabbatsbergsbyn, Kattrumpstullen), night home care services, and local cleaning. While costs increased due to factors like more permanent staff and investments in competence and full-time positions, quality also improved through a higher proportion of trained assistant nurses, expanded activities, and better patient safety.

A citizen's proposal requested converting a gravel football pitch into artificial turf at Norra Djurgårdsstaden's pop-up park, arguing it would boost spontaneous sports and provide a gathering place for youth. While the district administration supports promoting physical activity, they suggest against significant investment in the temporary park and instead forward the matter to the Exploitation Office, which is responsible for the permanent park to be built once the area is fully developed with housing.

The Norra Innerstaden City District Committee will consider four new citizen proposals. These include suggestions to improve Ängsbotten skatepark for beginners, establish a new allotment garden area at Kaknäs due to increased demand, clarify the cycling ban in Vasaparken with symbols on the asphalt, and build sunbathing jetties at Bellevueparken to enhance swimming and sunbathing opportunities.
