The Bromma District Council approved the administration's response to the Liberals' follow-up questions regarding Bromma's ice rinks. The administration clarified that 10 out of 14 ice rinks were usable during the season, though mild winters often limit their availability. Maintenance involves manual flooding by contractors, along with checks, leveling, plowing, and further upkeep.

The Liberals in thema Bromma district council questioned the follow-up of construction projects, specifically regarding the poor growth of grass and trees in Annedalsparken after its renovation. The district council approved the administration's response, which stated that the Exploitation Office builds new parks, after which the district administration takes over responsibility for operation and investments. While the administration has routines for quality assurance and follow-up on deficiencies in its own projects, Annedalsparken was built by the Exploitation Office and defects were discovered much later.

The Bromma District Council approved a statement responding to a letter from the Moderates, Centre Party, and Liberals regarding snow removal in Stockholm and Bromma. While the letter questioned snow removal quality, its impact on the elderly and disabled, and the number of complaints and cooperation with the traffic office, the administration reported that winter road maintenance within their purview generally functioned well despite heavy snowfall, with 38 local complaints, and current agreements and routines are deemed sufficient.

The Bromma District Council has approved a proposal to plan for a new group home for six apartments and common areas, under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS), at Norrmannen 11 in Bromma. This initiative, aiming for occupancy by 2030 with an estimated annual rent of SEK 1.5 million, seeks to address the shortage of LSS housing in Stockholm.

The Bromma District Council has decided to delegate to social welfare emergency staff the authority to request police assistance in specific cases.

The Bromma District Council decided to revise its delegation procedures, altering how decisions are made within adult individual and family care, and care for adults and children with disabilities. These changes include new delegations to unit managers for handling rejected applications, reconsidering decisions, deviating from public procurement laws, and approving housing agreements for special services under the LSS Act.

The Bromma District Council approved the administration's proposal to allocate association grants for 2026. A total of 1,016,234 SEK was awarded to 14 of 15 non-profit associations active in Bromma, which offer activities such as sports, culture, senior programs, efforts to combat loneliness, and services for children and youth.

The Bromma District Council approved the administration's budget proposal for 2027, with a focus for 2028 and 2029, which outlines future forecasts and priorities for the council's operations and was forwarded to the City Executive Board. The Liberal Party, Sweden Democrats, and Centre Party reserved themselves against the decision, citing their own budget proposals and criticism of inadequate solutions for challenges such as segregation, school results, and workforce supply.

The Norra innerstaden district council decided against investigating the construction of a full-size football pitch in Bellevueparken, rejecting a motion from the Liberals and the Centre Party. The administration argued that such a pitch would harm the culturally and ecologically valuable National City Park, suggesting instead to explore hard-surface areas or integrate sports planning into larger urban development projects.

The Norra Innerstaden district committee approved the administration's statement regarding a motion by Jonas Naddebo (C), which proposed protecting culture and entertainment venues from complaints by new residents through adapted zoning plans and local agreements or legislative changes. The administration suggested the city explore better ways to safeguard these activities while preserving residents' rights, but did not endorse the motion in its entirety. Daniele Fava (C) dissented, arguing for full approval, citing studies on culture's urban value and the principle that those causing change should bear the adaptation costs.

The City District Board for Norra Innerstaden approved a statement to the City Executive Board concerning a new digital map for Stockholm's local public order regulations. This means existing PDF maps will be replaced by a digital map in the city's DpMap tool. Furthermore, the regulations will be amended to require dog owners to pick up after their dogs throughout the entire city, not just the inner city, creating consistent rules for all Stockholm residents.

The Norra Innerstaden district council approved the administration's statement on the "Action Plan for a Gender-Equal Stockholm 2030," forwarding it to the City Executive Board with the view that the plan, while ambitious, only partially fulfilled its goals due to unclear guidance and ambiguous responsibilities for expert committees. The Moderates and Sweden Democrats dissented, arguing the plan was overly bureaucratic, lacked concrete measures against issues like male violence against women, and was too focused on ideological concepts.

The Norra Innerstaden District Council approved the administration's statement in response to the referral on new guidelines for processing financial assistance to the City Executive Board. The administration noted only one point of concern, arguing that the description of the maximum acceptable housing cost contradicts legal precedent, which states that actual rent should be included during a grace period. The Moderates and Liberals reserved themselves against the decision, seeking to refer the proposal back for revisions regarding phrases on summer leave with continued support, general SL cards without means testing, and assistance to individuals without legal right of residence, as they believed these weaken work incentives and erode trust in redistribution.

The Norra Innerstaden district committee approved the administration's opinion on new guidelines for allocating special housing, including residences under the Social Services Act (SoL), the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS), and social psychiatric supported housing. While positive about the new guidelines for their unifying potential, the committee emphasizes responsible implementation and attention to risks like extended waiting times, which could reach eight months for a housing offer. This aims for a clearer, more legally secure allocation process for residents needing these housing forms, but with concerns about potentially prolonged wait times.

The Norra innerstaden District Council approved the administration's response to a referral from the City Executive Board regarding the new activity requirement for social assistance recipients, set to take effect on July 1, 2026.

The Moderates issued a separate statement welcoming the reform but raising concerns about the lack of collaboration with civil society and businesses to meet activity needs.

The Norra Innerstaden district committee approved the administration's statement regarding guidelines for child safety in Stockholm's municipal preschools. While deeming the guidelines a good basis for strengthening and standardizing child safety efforts, the committee noted a need for clearer definitions of responsibility and better adaptation to practical preschool conditions. The Moderate, Liberal, and Centre parties' proposal for stronger measures, including expanded background checks, improved detection of honor-based violence, and stricter guidelines for welfare reports, was rejected, leading to their formal reservation against the decision.

The Norra innerstaden District Council approved the administration's proposal for a detailed plan for Storängsbotten, aiming to develop the area for sports, recreation, events, and healthcare while preserving its natural and cultural values. The Moderates, Centre Party, and Liberals dissented, additionally proposing an investigation into a road connection between Lidingövägen and Södra Fiskartorpsvägen to improve accessibility, especially for car traffic.

The Norra Innerstaden district council approved the administration's report concerning a detailed development plan for the Snöklockan 4 property in Vasastan. This plan aims to construct six new rental apartments in the inner courtyard, affirm existing residential, office, and religious uses, and upgrade the courtyard with more greenery and improved stormwater management. The administration emphasized the importance of addressing heat island effects and open space impacts when densifying this already compact district.

The City District Committee of Norra Innerstaden approved the administration's statement in response to Region Stockholm's referral regarding traffic changes for SL and WÅAB in 2026/2027. The administration welcomed the extension of bus line 6 to Solna Centrum and stressed the importance of clear communication for alternative routes during subway closures in summer 2027. They also highlighted the need to review previously withdrawn bus routes and stops, specifically reinstating the Jungfrugatan stop on bus line 4 and bus line 57's service on Sveavägen.

The Norra Innerstaden district committee approved the administration's statement in response to a referral from the City Executive Board. The referral concerned a Ministry of Health and Social Affairs proposal to establish a crime-fighting unit within the Swedish Social Insurance Agency to combat benefit fraud, with both investigative and preventative components. The administration was positive about the objective but highlighted risks regarding the handling of sensitive personal data and potential erosion of trust in social services, as information about individuals in need of support might be shared with the new unit.
