The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board has approved a consultation response regarding the city's action plan for an age-friendly city. This plan aims for Stockholm to be a city where older adults can live safely, independently, and with good quality of life, free from age-based discrimination. The administration further suggests strengthening efforts against homelessness and addressing the situation of LGBTQI+ individuals, in addition to promoting participation, accessible housing, adapted urban environments, and improved communication.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council has approved a statement regarding a detailed development plan for Springbrunnen 1 and part of Grimsta 1:2 in Hässelby gård. The plan allows for the construction of two new apartment buildings with 68 units, up to four stories plus a basement level, along Loviselundsvägen, as well as an expansion for sports facilities and a new power grid station. While the administration supports new housing near services and public transport, it has concerns about the proximity to the football field and the potential for noise and light disturbances.

A citizen proposed building an imaginative playground in Hässelby-Vällingby, similar to Solna's Mulle Meck Park, ideally linked to the Riddersvik ground remediation. While the district administration agrees on the benefits of such playgrounds, they cannot fund a new one at Riddersvik as the remediation only covers restoring the existing playground, but they will consider the idea for future park upgrade projects.

A citizen proposed measures to improve safety in Vällingby, especially the town center, citing widespread feelings of insecurity and suggesting more police, security guards, better lighting, and crime prevention. The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Administration acknowledged the proposal and will launch an in-depth survey of safety and crime in Vällingby in spring 2026, collaborating with the police, property owners, businesses, civil society, and residents to determine appropriate actions.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council has adopted a new delegation of authority to streamline decision-making within its administration. This empowers certain officials to make decisions on behalf of the council, particularly in social services, elder care, and disability services, with several changes driven by new laws like the revised Social Services Act coming into force in July 2025. For example, team leaders can now decide to end follow-ups for children and young people, and certain decision limits for home care have been adjusted.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council has approved its 2025 activity report and requested that a surplus of SEK 37 million be transferred to 2026. The report indicates that the council met its goals of improving children's upbringing conditions, increasing preschool enrollment, and strengthening support for vulnerable groups. A project called "Samteamet" was particularly successful in helping individuals receiving long-term financial assistance find employment or more stable housing.

This item concerns a report from social services inspectors regarding individuals in Hägersten-Älvsjö who receive long-term financial assistance due to unemployment. The Social Welfare Committee processed this report on January 27, 2026.

This report details decisions made by municipal employees, not politicians, during January 2026. These include a personal data incident notification, responses to building permit referrals for a temporary housing setup on parkland and a fence extension, and decisions on procurements and contracts for parkland maintenance.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö Pensioner Council met and discussed concerns that the elderly care budget in their district appears to be larger than what is actually spent, resulting in poorer care compared to other parts of the city. The council proposed that the district council investigate how elderly care can be improved and made more equitable, for example by distributing Senior Health services more evenly throughout the district. They also discussed the importance of allowing elderly residents to choose their own meals.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö and Skärholmen disability council discussed long-term housing plans for people with disabilities, noting challenges when central decisions impact local building projects. They also reviewed 2025 activity reports, focusing on increasing voter participation among people with disabilities and initiating health projects.

The Urban Environment Unit in Hägersten-Älvsjö has presented its activity plan for 2026, focusing on improving the urban environment, increasing accessibility for people with disabilities, engaging residents in urban development, and strengthening cooperation with civil society. Planned initiatives include clean-ups with associations, a new terrain track in Älvsjöskogen in collaboration with residents, and a follow-up on agreements for raised-bed cultivation projects.

The City Planning Office proposes making Lake Trekanten in Hägersten-Älvsjö a biotop protection area to safeguard its high natural values, especially for bats, amphibians, and other rare species. While the Hägersten-Älvsjö district council supports this, they note a dog exercise area would need relocation. The area is popular for recreation, and a planned new subway entrance will be located outside the proposed protected zone.

Councillor Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposes that Stockholm investigate creating more practice riding areas for motorcycles, as the single existing site at Stockholmsmässan is often overcrowded. The district administration in Hägersten-Älvsjö agrees there's a need but notes that any new facility should avoid residential areas due to motorcycle noise.

The Liberals propose introducing more summer pedestrian streets and squares in Stockholm as early as summer 2025 to enhance the city's appeal, boost commerce, and improve the environment. They stress the importance of maintaining accessibility for buses and trams, and involving residents and businesses in the planning. The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Administration supports the idea but believes the Traffic Department must collaborate closely with them to leverage their local knowledge and ensure safety.

The Moderates have proposed LGBTQ+ certification for Stockholm's home care services to ensure respectful treatment and a safe environment for all seniors, regardless of sexual orientation or identity. The district administration in Hägersten-Älvsjö is positive about the idea but notes that such training needs to be adapted for home care, as its current form is costly and time-consuming.

The City of Stockholm plans to adopt a new food program to ensure good, healthy, and climate-smart food for both residents and those working in city operations. The program will focus on sustainable meals within the city's own services (like schools and elderly care) and "Food City Stockholm," which aims to help everyone in the city make sustainable food choices. The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council has responded positively but suggests clearer guidelines for local produce and more support for professional development.

The Moderates in Hägersten-Älvsjö questioned why elderly care in the district has shown large surpluses for several years and if these funds could be used to improve quality. The administration explained the surpluses are due to fewer elderly needing services than projected and more efficient working methods, adding that while funds cannot be directly transferred due to city budget principles, they are positive about future quality improvements if the budget is adjusted to the growing number of elderly.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council has authorized 41 social workers at the Social Emergency Services to request police assistance in specific situations. This applies to cases such as compulsory care for substance abusers (LVM), taking young people into care (LVU), and implementing decisions to place children in sheltered housing. The decision enables these officials to call upon police support when necessary to protect individuals and carry out crucial interventions.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council has appointed specific managers and team leaders within child, youth, and family services. These individuals are authorized to request police assistance to enforce decisions regarding compulsory care of young people (LVU) or the placement of children in sheltered housing. This ensures quick enforcement when needed, for instance, if parents or children are uncooperative, or if a child goes missing.

The City of Stockholm plans to establish twelve new service apartments for individuals with disabilities in the Fader Bergström block in Hägersten, expected to be completed by 2028. These apartments will help address a significant shortage of such housing in the city, with the estimated annual rent for these units totaling approximately 1.8 million SEK.
