All agenda items

The Södermalm District Council addressed a citizen proposal to implement an alcohol ban at Hornstulls Strand 2-6 between 10 AM and 2 PM. The council approved the administration's recommendation and instructed them to apply to the City Council for an amendment to local public order regulations to introduce this ban. The aim is to enhance safety for residents and visitors by curbing drug abuse-related issues that create insecurity and to enable more effective police intervention.

The Södermalm District Council considered a citizen proposal for an ice rink in Lilla Blecktornsparken. Due to the park's slope, an ice rink isn't feasible there, but the administration suggested exploring an ice rink at Stora Blecktornsparken's playground, costing 15,000–20,000 SEK per season starting winter 2026/2027. The council decided to use the administration's statement as their response to the proposal.

The Södermalm District Council considered 15 citizen proposals submitted in May 2026. Six proposals, including converting part of Ånghästparken into a preschool playground, installing an outdoor gym in Vitabergsparken, and a dance floor in Tantolunden, were sent to the administration for further preparation. Other suggestions, such as new bike parking and trees on Östgötagatan, and measures against early garbage collection, were forwarded to the relevant specialist departments or treated as general feedback.

Hanna Wistrand (L) has submitted a letter to the municipality proposing improved safety on the bike path between Ulvsundaplan and Alviksplan, citing a lack of physical separation from car traffic as a safety risk for cyclists. The Sports Committee will approve the Sports Administration's response, which states that this section is not their responsibility and that the Traffic Administration Office should address the proposed measures.

Mikael Peterson (C), Hanna Wistrand (L), and Anna Cederschiöld Stuart (M) propose that the Sports Administration urgently investigate building a new 25-meter training pool in Hornsberg/Kristineberg, given the closure of Kronobergsbadet in May 2026. They suggest integrating this new pool into existing construction projects using prefabricated solutions to accelerate the process. The Sports Administration confirms they are already assessing the need for indoor pools in the inner city, discussing current pool access with associations, and exploring rapid solutions in cooperation with other departments.

The City Audit has reviewed the Sports Committee's work in 2025 and found operations to be largely appropriate and financially sound. However, internal controls need strengthening, particularly concerning facility bookings, grant management for non-profits, compliance with the principle of public access, and preventing irregularities and conflicts of interest. The Sports Administration proposes the Committee approve their statement, committing to address all recommendations throughout the year to improve routines and controls.

The Sports Administration proposes that the Sports Committee approve a new zero-fee grant for sports clubs. This grant would allow clubs to apply for financial support covering the cost of booking sports facilities during school hours (8 AM-3 PM) for students aged 16-20 who compete at a national team level. The aim is to help young elite athletes combine studies with daytime training, particularly those with adapted school schedules, without their clubs incurring the usual fees.

The Department of Labor Market Administration proposes that the Labor Market Committee approve the first annual report for Adult Education Stockholm for 2025. The report details developments in adult education during 2025, noting new agreements, expansion of in-house operations with two new school units, and increased course participation, alongside improved study results despite a slight dip in overall student numbers, particularly in Swedish for immigrants (sfi). Future priorities include digitalization, accessibility, and ensuring a skilled workforce for the city's welfare sector.

The Södermalm District Council considered a referral from the Social Administration's Licensing Unit regarding an application for a liquor license for restaurant Idrottens Bingo Söder at Blekingegatan 32. The council decided to approve the application for a permanent liquor license for the public between 12:00 and 22:30, as no social or preventative obstacles were identified.

The Södermalm District Council approved a serving permit application for Caffeine & Cravings at Borgmästargatan 4. This allows for both indoor and outdoor service daily between 11:00 and 22:00, as the administration found no social or preventive obstacles.

The Sports Committee will address Hanna Wistrand's (L) letter concerning the systematic disadvantage faced by tennis in Stockholm, citing issues like revoked agreements, delayed building permits, and increased rents for clubs such as SALK and Hellas Tennisklubb. The Sports Administration proposes the committee approve its official response, which states that a comprehensive status report is not feasible due to cross-committee issues, but commits to ensuring good conditions for tennis, providing individual club responses, and developing a renewed facility strategy for racket sports.

The Moderates proposed that the city help private actors establish a temporary indoor golf hall in Stockholm during the winter to promote golf and city life. The Sports Department views a winter golf hall as potentially well-utilized but suggests it be handled as a commercial establishment via Stockholm Business Region, with the department not using its resources to identify locations.

A motion proposes establishing a leisure library in Norra Djurgårdsstaden to offer children and young people active recreation and promote reuse. The Sports Administration agrees it's a good initiative and recognizes the need in Norra Djurgårdsstaden, but suggests the Norra Innerstaden District Council decide on the exact location, as they operate similar activities.

The Sports Committee proposes approving the department's response regarding a revision of the City of Stockholm's cultural strategic program. The Sports Department views the proposal positively, believing the new program provides a good foundation for increased collaboration between the Sports and Cultural Committees. This cooperation can promote physical activity and cultural participation among young Stockholmers, especially in areas like dance and circus.

The Moderates have proposed that the City of Stockholm immediately begin talks with AIK and Djurgården to retain Hovet as a permanent arena, and that the Exploitation Committee should extend Djurgården IF's land allocation in Tallkrogen. The Sports Department states that Hovet's future is being investigated as part of a budget assignment ongoing until 2026, which will provide a well-considered decision. The department has not received a request to extend the Tallkrogen land allocation but is in dialogue with Djurgården IF Hockey regarding alternative locations.

The Labour Market Committee has decided to award the 2026 Nelson Mandela Prize to FoC Farsta Football Club. The prize is given to organizations that contribute to integration and create meetings between new and established Stockholm residents.

This agenda item provides an update on several decisions made by officials under delegated authority. These include an agreement for furniture reuse at Campus Åsö, procurement of AV equipment for Komvux Kista, and several appeals concerning inter-municipal compensation for adult education and alleged abusive treatment at Komvux Södermalm. Additionally, personnel matters such as hirings and investigations into student rights are reported.

The Labour Market Administration is to comment on the report "Preschool in Stockholm 2025," which describes the conditions and development areas within preschools. The Administration views the report as a clear depiction of the current situation and challenges, and is positive about how vocational Swedish language training has improved staff language skills. They wish to continue contributing to the development of training initiatives for personnel.

The Labour Market Committee is proposed to approve an action plan for implementing stricter requirements in Swedish for Immigrants (sfi), including a three-year time limit to complete the education. The plan outlines how the City of Stockholm will inform, motivate, and support both new and existing sfi students to start and complete their studies within the new timeframe. This work involves coordination between administrations, external collaborations, and targeted communication to the relevant group.

The Labor Market Committee is set to consider appointing Sara Ek as the Lex Sarah officer for the Labor Market Administration starting July 1, 2026. This is mandated by the Social Services Act, requiring committees to designate individuals responsible for receiving reports of abuses or risks of abuses within social services, such as at Jobbtorg Stockholm. The administration also proposes that the Director of Administration be empowered to appoint future Lex Sarah officers.
