The City Audit has reviewed safety at Stockholm's youth recreation centers, including those in Södermalm. They assess the work as generally good but see room for improvement, particularly regarding the documentation of background checks for new hires and the follow-up with external recreation centers. Södermalm's district council has responded that they will strengthen their work on background checks, child welfare reports, local collaboration with the police and social services, and improve the follow-up of all recreation centers, whether they are run internally or externally.

The City Planning Office has proposed a new detailed development plan for the property Kålroten 3 at Nytorget 6-8 in Södermalm. The plan aims to enable a 3D property formation, allowing commercial premises within the building to be separated from residential units. This could provide tax advantages for the housing cooperative, as it may then be considered a "genuine" housing cooperative. The Södermalm District Administration has no objections to the proposal as it does not involve any physical changes to the building or affect their operations. The matter will now be handled by the City Planning Office.

The Södermalm district administration has commented on a detailed development plan proposal for the property Bonden Större 43 at Skånegatan 63–65. The plan suggests adding one floor to the existing building for seven new rental apartments, three-story townhouses on the elevated courtyard, and new retail or restaurant spaces. The administration is positive overall, viewing the proposal as contributing to a greener urban environment and an active streetscape, but wishes for an investigation into ways to reduce potential shadow effects on neighboring properties from the new construction.

The Stockholm City Council will decide on a local action program for Strömmen river. The program aims to improve water quality and the habitat for animals and plants in Strömmen, which currently has poor ecological and chemical status due to pollution from traffic, wastewater, and old port areas, among other sources. Measures include purifying stormwater, managing contaminated bottom sediments, and improving the physical habitat. The costs are estimated to be hundreds of millions of kronor and will be financed in various ways, including through water and wastewater fees and the city's budget.

The Södermalm District Council will approve a new version of its local information security directive, which outlines how the administration manages and protects information. This clarifies responsibilities and procedures to ensure residents' data is safe and all employees are trained in information security. The updated directive also includes procedures for handling incidents, like data breaches and suspected phishing emails, and requirements from the new cybersecurity law.

The Södermalm District Council has approved its 2025 annual report and financial statements, showing a surplus of SEK 58.2 million. The administration assesses that they have met the City Council's goals in areas such as welfare, climate, and economy. The council is requesting reallocations for several investments, including SEK 1 million for the Tantolunden playground, SEK 1.5 million for climate investments in Tantolunden, and SEK 0.7 million for safety measures on Maria Prästgårdsgata.

A resident proposed installing a very long notice board at Tullhusen on Skeppsbron, so people could post notices there instead of directly on the buildings. However, the Södermalm district administration advises against the proposal. They believe the location is too narrow for both pedestrians and cyclists, and that a notice board would obstruct accessibility and the management of Tullhusen.

A resident proposed improvements to the area around the memorial for Stockholm's last shipyard by the London Viaduct, suggesting the removal of bushes, the addition of paving stones, a bench, a waste bin, and a historical sign. The district administration agrees the site needs enhancement and plans to remove the bushes, pave the area, and install a historical sign in 2026. While space for a bench is unavailable, a waste bin will be placed nearby.

A resident proposed installing signs on Rosenlundsgatan in Södermalm to inform about an old country road and tobacco barns that were once in the area. The administration believes a historical information board in Ånghästparken would be of interest to residents and suggests exploring the possibility of funding such a board in the 2026 or 2027 budget. The board could cover the country road, tobacco barns, and other historical facts about the area.

The Södermalm District Council proposes to reclaim the right to decide on kindergarten closures from the School Director. Starting February 19, 2026, the council itself will make decisions regarding kindergarten closures, regardless of the reason or duration. This represents a change in the council's internal delegation of authority.

Södermalm District Council received six citizen proposals in January 2026. These included requests for more tennis courts, a roller skating rink at Åsö School, and more efficient training times on football fields. Other proposals were for watering cans with the city's logo for preschools and schools, raising the road to sidewalk level on Ringvägen, and planting trees along Folkungagatan.

Svenska Bostäder, a municipal housing company, has approved its financial report for December 2025. The report shows the company's loan debt was SEK 12,259 million with an interest rate of 2.70%. Reduced investment volume has contributed to lower debt, which may impact future rents and property investments.

Svenska Bostäder has informed its board about new framework agreements for various property-related works. These agreements cover control and regulation systems (SEK 60 million), pipe lining (SEK 70 million), and substations and heat pump systems (SEK 500 million). This secures suppliers for the maintenance and development of their properties in the coming years, benefiting residents through well-maintained buildings and heating systems.

Svenska Bostäder reports on the status of new housing construction. During 2025, construction began on 92 apartments in Rinkeby, but none were completed. For 2026, construction is planned to start on 122 apartments in Lilla Essingen, and the municipality is also investigating building approximately 50 Stockholmshus apartments in Smedslätten. Several other projects have been paused or postponed due to economic challenges and lengthy planning processes.

Svenska Bostäder's board has approved management's review of information security for 2026. The report indicates that the company improved its information security and data protection management in 2025 through actions such as information classification, updated agreements, and better incident handling. For 2026, plans include measures to simplify information security work, manage risks and incidents more effectively, and prepare for new legal requirements like the NIS2 directive, ultimately strengthening the company's ability to protect information and comply with regulations.

Svenska Bostäder's Data Protection Officer has presented their annual report for 2025. The report reviews how well the company adheres to GDPR and manages personal data. It indicates that the company has good compliance in most areas, but that there are improvement areas related to training and documentation.

This is a notification that the minutes from Svenska Bostäder's board meeting on October 16, 2025, have been adjusted and distributed. This is a purely administrative action to confirm that the meeting minutes have been formally approved and disseminated.

This report approves Stadsholmen's financial monthly report for December 2025. The report details the company's loan from Svenska Bostäder, which amounted to SEK 719 million in December 2025 with an interest rate of 2.70%. It also provides an overview of the entire municipal group's finances, including loans, interest rates, and future interest rate forecasts.

Stadsholmen has reviewed its information security work for 2025 and is planning measures for 2026. This work focuses on protecting digital information from breaches, securing personal data, and managing IT incidents. The plan for 2026 includes simplifying governance, improving risk and incident management, and preparing for new EU cybersecurity laws (NIS2). The goal is to increase security and compliance with laws concerning digital information.

The Board of Stadsholmen has approved the Data Protection Officer's annual report for 2025. The report reviews how the company handles personal data according to GDPR and shows that most areas have good compliance, but that there are areas for improvement such as training and documentation.
