All agenda items

Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposes a two-year pilot project allowing Stockholm residents to help decide how part of the municipality’s funds are spent, based on the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKR) model. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since Stockholm already uses participatory budgeting and carried out 17 projects in 2023–2025, including in Skärholmen, where residents voted on fruit trees and berry bushes in Bredängsparken.

A motion by Annika Elmlund and Christoffer Hökmark (M) proposes illuminated, staffed safety kiosks where police officers, security guards, field assistants and other professionals can work together and assist residents, inspired by solutions in Tokyo and Frankfurt. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as the city considers its existing mobile safety work and local partnerships to be functioning well and therefore does not see a general need for permanent kiosks; Sergels torg is mentioned as an example of a shared facility.

The motion proposes that the amphitheater in Rålambshovsparken be available year-round for informal sports, with dancing in summer and ice skating in winter. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the Kungsholmen District Administration has already built a dance floor and plans to continue flooding the gravel court to create ice when the weather permits.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that the City of Stockholm develop clear guidelines and support materials so that political youth organizations can participate safely in schools, for example through debates, classroom presentations, and information tables. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since support materials already exist and the Education Act states that the principal decides whether political parties should be invited; the motion will be considered by the City Council.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes a system that alerts authorities when a pupil is withdrawn from a school without being enrolled in another, as well as a block on such withdrawals. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since Stockholm already has system support, absence procedures and blocks in municipal compulsory schools; the Social Services Committee meanwhile calls for a national system covering both municipal and independent schools.

The Liberals propose that the city develop a plan to make Odenplan a greener and more vibrant square, with features such as market stalls, cultural activities and outdoor dining. They also want the possibility of closing the section of Upplandsgatan between Odenplan and Gustav Vasa Church to be investigated, but the City Executive Office considers the street necessary for public transport and says that broader development may only be possible after the Roslagsbanan railway extension to the City is completed. Meanwhile, the Traffic Office plans to add more greenery and flowers to the square in summer 2026.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposes that Stockholm use the city’s public advertising spaces for a campaign on how to recognize a stroke and quickly call 112. The City Executive Office and the City Executive Board propose that the motion be considered answered, since Region Stockholm has primary responsibility for health and medical care, but the city can assist through information channels such as libraries and citizen service offices if the region requests it.

Claes Nyberg and Kristin Jacobsson (Centre Party) propose that Stockholm introduce screening of students’ mental health as part of the regular health check-ups provided by student health services, and offer all students in Year 7 an initial individual meeting with a school counsellor. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since students already have health visits in Years 1, 4 and 8 that include questions about mental health and can contact student health services or the school counsellor when needed.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes that Stockholm increase its use of green roofs and walls to help manage stormwater, reduce urban heat and strengthen biodiversity. The motion proposes that green roofs be considered as a starting point for new municipal construction, that suitable existing properties be identified and that property owners receive more guidance. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city already uses a green space factor and believes each site should be assessed based on factors such as technology, cost, cultural heritage and the possibility of installing solar panels.

Svante Linusson and Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) propose that Stockholm introduce an interactive map showing snow removal, gritting and salted street cleaning in real time, and share the information as open data via an API. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as the city first needs to clarify responsibilities, data quality and ownership of the information, and investigate security, cost and work-environment issues.

The motion proposes developing Högdalstopparna into an open and more accessible outdoor and recreational area, with features such as activity areas, cycling trails, and better opportunities for adapted sports. It also proposes investigating public transport to the area, but the City Executive Board recommends that the motion be considered answered, since detailed planning is already underway and the area is about 800 metres from Högdalen metro station and close to bus routes.

The motion proposes that the city investigate a special language school for pupils from preschool class through Year 3 with severe language disorders, as a continuation of the language preschools in Södermalm and Bromma. Speech-language pathologists and teachers would work together there, providing adapted instruction. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as the city believes that pupils can currently receive support in their regular schools, including through the competence hub at Eriksdalsskolan and existing speech-language services.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes an action plan for so-called “grey-zone children”—students who are not eligible for adapted schools but struggle to meet school goals because of their cognitive abilities. The plan would strengthen support in compulsory and upper-secondary schools and the transition between them; however, the City Executive Office and the Education Committee consider the city’s existing support, special-education services, and procedures to be continuously developing, and therefore propose that the motion be answered without creating a new action plan.

The City Executive Board proposes that the motion to widen Klarastrandsleden to three lanes, with a reversible middle lane and a possible parallel cycle path, be considered answered. The Traffic Office assesses that an additional lane would not solve the congestion, since bottlenecks would remain at places including Pampaslänken, Kungsbron and Centralbron, while widening approximately 1.3 kilometres would be very costly; the area is also planned for potential development with housing, services and green space.

The motion proposes that Stockholm introduce study-motivating work orientation (SAO jobs), in which mainly students in grades 8 or 9 receive paid work for about two hours a week over one year alongside their schooling. The proposal would replace 1,000 holiday jobs in 2026 with SAO jobs, but the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city is already planning to test the model at selected schools and several committees consider that such a conversion requires further planning.

Jonas Naddebo and Claes Nyberg (C) propose that the city quickly investigate and create more places for lower-secondary students in northern Bromma, including through Bällstalundsskolan, an expansion of Mariehällsskolan, or a school in Södra Solvallastaden. The Education Administration, however, considers current capacity sufficient, as students within the city’s guideline of approximately four kilometres can be offered a place close to home and the number of students in Bromma is expected to decline; the City Executive Board therefore proposes that the motion be considered answered without assigning any new tasks.

The motion proposes renovating Vanadis Hotel at Vanadisbadet in Vasastaden and giving it a new use after it has stood vacant since 2018. The Real Estate Committee and the Sports Committee are already investigating the building’s condition and the possibility of converting its approximately 1,950 square metres into, for example, changing rooms and spaces for table tennis, dancing or martial arts; the City Executive Board therefore proposes that the motion be considered answered.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that Stockholm investigate whether the number of school changes in upper secondary education can be limited, for example through fixed transfer periods and clearly defined exceptions. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered without being approved, since there is no legal basis and any change would require an agreement between 26 municipalities and more than 100 independent education providers in the upper secondary school region.

Jan Jönsson, Björn Ljung and Sara Svanström (the Liberals) propose that the City investigate the possibility of designating the approximately 100-hectare Fagersjö Forest as a nature reserve. The aim is to protect biodiversity, recreational opportunities, and the forest’s role as a green corridor and carbon sink. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the City already has a budget assignment and allocated funds to investigate nature reserves in Fagersjö Forest and nearby areas.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposes that the Cultural Affairs Committee investigate whether City Hall’s façade could be used for large-scale projections, as during Nobel Week Lights, continuously from November to March. The City Executive Office and the Cultural Affairs Committee advise against a permanent solution because City Hall has significant cultural value and the projections would require major investment and an annual operating budget; the City Executive Board therefore proposes that the motion be considered answered.
