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.
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 City Council decided to lift the swimming ban at nine locations in central Stockholm, including areas like Norra Djurgården, Södra Djurgården, and Årstaviken. Swimming in approved private constructions is also now permitted, aiming to increase access to the city's waterways. However, this doesn't designate these spots as official swimming areas with controlled water quality, and the Centre Party dissented, advocating for a city-wide general swimming allowance.
The City Council decided to discontinue Maria Mustonen's (V) 45% remuneration as of August 1, 2026. This decision aligns with an agreement between the parties on how elected officials' remunerations are to be regulated and funded within each party's budget.
The City Council approved amendments to the statutes of the Elektronikcentrum Foundation. The number of board members will increase to a maximum of eight and the rules for appointing auditors will be simplified, allowing for greater flexibility. Additionally, Karin Wanngård was nominated to the board as a member for the period until the first meeting in 2028.
The City Council decided to amend the city's public order regulations to establish a new dog park at Nytorps gärde in Skarpnäck. An existing dog exercise area will be removed and partially replaced by this new, fenced park. The decision has been approved and will be announced once the County Administrative Board of Stockholm grants its approval.
The City Council decided to amend local public order regulations, removing the dog exercise area in Trekanten to establish a biotope protection area due to its high natural value. The decision was approved, though the Centre Party and Christian Democrats reserved their position, advocating for the dog area's retention. The new regulations will be proclaimed once approved by the County Administrative Board.
The City Council decided to proceed with stage 1 of the Vårbergsvägen project, aiming to transform Vårbergsvägen into an urban street and enable approximately 1500 new homes. This means investigations and design work for the entire project will continue, and construction of the first stage can begin. Stage 2 of the project is paused until market conditions improve, while the Sweden Democrats dissented, proposing that green areas should remain untouched instead.
The City Council decided to proceed with the Blackebergs Torg project, despite increased costs and a delayed schedule. The project includes building around 120 homes and new community services, such as a health center. Though the budget nearly doubled from 42.6 to 79 million SEK and it's no longer deemed profitable, the project was approved to develop the area and meet housing targets, with the Sweden Democrats formally dissenting.
The City Council approved a letter of intent between the Land and Exploitation Committee and Ports of Stockholm AB. This agreement governs future land use at Värtapiren and Frihamnspiren, including land transfers and enhanced port electrification, aiming to balance urban development with ongoing port operations and environmental improvements. The Centre Party lodged a reservation against the decision.
The City Council approved S:t Erik Markutveckling AB's acquisition of Magasin 5 in Frihamnen from Stockholms Hamn AB. The transfer, valued at approximately 400 million SEK, will occur through S:t Erik Markutveckling purchasing shares in a newly formed company that will own Magasin 5. This move aims to streamline Stockholms Hamn's operations and prepare the area for future urban development.
The City Council approved an implementation agreement for a depot and its connections in the Älvsjö industrial area, and also approved the sale of the Leverantören 2 property for approximately 145 million SEK. This decision facilitates the new subway line between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö, which is essential for the city's housing development plans.
The City Council approved an amendment to the land development agreement for Årstafältet. This amendment transfers a previous agreement from Granitor Property Development AB to a new company, MPD Virtuosen Grund 3 AB, allowing for continued construction of homes and offices, along with a waste disposal system and parking garage in the area.

The City Council approved new guidelines for allocating places in special housing facilities under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS), including social psychiatric supported housing. These guidelines aim to create a clearer and more legally secure process for all involved. The City Council also decided that the Social Welfare Committee should develop more detailed instructions on how these new rules are to be applied.
The City Council decided that the Labor Market Committee will be responsible for providing activities to individuals receiving financial assistance, should the Riksdag establish a national activity requirement. The aim is to enhance these individuals' chances of finding employment and becoming self-sufficient. This decision takes effect contingent upon the Riksdag's resolution.
The City Council decided to approve the implementation of a project to construct a temporary sports hall on Dalhagen's ball field in Husby.
