All agenda items

The motion proposes that the City of Stockholm purchase or exchange for the privately owned property Lågbron 1 in Långbro park, so the area can become part of the park and its natural and cultural values can be preserved. Around twelve terraced houses and a café are planned on the property; city officials assess that the homes and café can be built, while the City Executive Board proposes responding to the motion by referring to the ongoing detailed development planning process.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes transforming Johanneshovsvägen from a four-lane road into a narrower, greener boulevard with lower speed limits, wider pedestrian and cycle paths, and space for shops, restaurants and meeting places. The proposal also includes planning for around 1,045 new homes, including student housing, and a new square by the Linde light-rail station. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as similar development is already part of the ongoing Årstastråket project.

Jan Jönsson and other members of the Liberals (L) propose changing Stockholm’s land allocation policy so the city can set clearer requirements for housing with affordable rents and for groups who have difficulty entering the housing market. They also want the Social Services Committee to have greater influence when new residential areas are planned. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as the city assesses that the new guidelines and the forthcoming housing supply action plan already address the proposals.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes developing Kista into the Nordic center for total defense by attracting government agencies and defense industry companies to the area. The motion also calls for more housing, workplaces, parks, services, and a safer urban environment; the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as similar development work is already underway, including a focus on innovation, cybersecurity, and defense.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposes that Stockholm residents be able to pay for trees that the city purchases and plants on public land, possibly with a name plaque. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as similar models have already been tried and may entail substantial administrative costs; Hägersten-Älvsjö estimates the cost of the tree, planting, and two to three years of establishment care at approximately SEK 75,000 per tree.

Gabriel Kroon and Tapani Juntunen (both SD) propose that the Traffic Committee investigate an action plan requiring signs, posters, and advertising in public spaces to be primarily in Swedish, with Swedish text at least twice as large as text in other languages. The City Executive Office and several committees assess that the city lacks a legal basis for such regulations and that Swedish is already the foundation of the city’s communication, while other languages may be used when necessary, including for accessibility and national minority languages; the City Council therefore proposes that the motion be considered answered.

The motion proposes giving Stockholm’s architecture policy, building regulations, and strategy for detached-house and villa areas greater importance in all urban planning. It also seeks to strengthen cooperation between committees and introduce regular follow-up, while the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered since the city already conducts training, follow-ups, and produces joint handbooks.

Åsa Nilsson Söderström (L) proposes that Stockholm investigate establishing a competence center against transnational oppression, where knowledge can be collected and shared and people at risk can receive guidance and legal support. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as several of the tasks are deemed to be the responsibility of the state, but the city supports increased cooperation with government agencies; the Liberals instead want the Origo service to serve as a model.

The City Council will consider Jan Jönsson’s (L) motion calling for Stockholm’s schools to use the phonics method more extensively, in which pupils connect letters with sounds. The City Executive Office and the Education Committee propose that the motion be considered answered without being approved, as phonics is important but needs to be combined with teaching vocabulary, language comprehension and other language-development approaches; Stockholm University also warns against politicians prescribing teachers’ methods in detail.

Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (Liberals) propose bringing the city’s parking garages under Stockholm Parkering to clarify responsibility and improve operational efficiency. The City Executive Board instead proposes that the motion be considered answered, since coordination already takes place through agreements and entering into more long-term agreements is considered easier than transferring ownership; such a change could otherwise be costly and complicated due to property formation, detailed plans, shelters and tax issues.

Dennis Wedin (M) proposes measures to increase competition among grocery stores and ultimately lower food prices. The proposals include competition analyses in new planning, a review of detailed development plans, and an expedited process for new stores; however, the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as the city is already working to identify new store locations and does not consider an expedited process necessary.

The City Council will consider a proposal to investigate moving Stockholm’s winter break from week 9 to week 6, so that more children who remain in the city can enjoy snow and winter activities. The City Executive Board proposes responding to the motion without conducting the investigation, since snow cannot be guaranteed and a change could create problems for families, schools, associations, and businesses that plan around the current holiday week.

The proposers, Gabriel Kroon and Mats Johnsson (Sweden Democrats), propose stopping the planning of accommodation under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) in Lammholmen, as they consider the site unsuitable and believe that natural areas could be damaged and that noise, vibrations and water accumulation could cause problems. The City Executive Board instead proposes that the project continue to be examined through the detailed development planning process, including investigations into noise, natural values, ground stability and stormwater; consultation is planned for spring 2026.

The motion proposes that Stockholm sign the cooperation agreement with Kyiv and establish a recurring process enabling municipal administrations and companies to donate equipment they no longer need to Ukraine’s reconstruction. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city already supports Ukraine and is investigating donations based on Ukraine’s actual needs; an agreement should be signed when deemed possible.

Andréa Hedin and Per Rosencrantz (Moderate Party) propose that Stockholm map honour-related violence and oppression at least once per electoral term, from compulsory school through upper secondary school, to monitor developments and improve support and preventive measures. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered without being approved, as the City Executive Office and the Social Affairs Committee see no current need for a new survey, while the Education Committee considers recurring surveys a burden on school staff; instead, the city wants to prioritise shared procedures and cooperation between schools, social services and the police.

A motion by Dennis Wedin (M) proposes that Stockholm Globe Arena Fastigheter AB, together with Hammarby, Djurgården and other stakeholders, introduce new security solutions against pyrotechnics and other disturbances at football stadiums. The aim is to make matches safer and prevent well-behaved supporters from having matches interrupted, while preserving the vibrant supporter culture. The City Executive Office considers that technology can help, but emphasizes that lasting change also requires cooperation and a change in stadium culture; the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes that Stockholm sell land outside the municipality that is no longer strategically important, including in Botkyrka, Ekerö, Huddinge, Järfälla and Nacka. The proposal concerns more than 2,000 hectares, but the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city already sells such land on an ongoing basis when market conditions allow; the remaining land includes nature reserves and land in Masmo leased by the Swedish Transport Administration.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes that the City of Stockholm create a joint web portal where residents can search all citizen proposals, responses, and decisions from district councils and specialist committees, for example by date, district, and subject. The motion also calls for the city’s administrations to improve feedback to those who submit proposals; the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered by noting that work on clearer procedures and better information is already under way.

Jan Jönsson and Elin Hjelmestam (Liberals) propose that Stockholm launch a pilot project for solar panels on the façades of municipal buildings and then investigate how more such installations could be made possible. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered without assigning any new tasks, since previous projects show that façade-mounted solar panels often produce less electricity and cost more than rooftop panels, while some consultation bodies consider façades a possible complement where roof space is limited.

Jan Jönsson and Elin Hjelmestam (the Liberals) propose that Stockholm appoint an environmental controller for the urban development of Bromma Park City. The role would monitor climate impacts, ensure safe soil remediation, protect biodiversity and report to elected officials. The City Executive Office instead proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the project is at an early stage and a joint specialist group for sustainability issues is already planned; the City Planning Office would rather see a sustainability strategist or coordinator appointed as soon as possible.
