The City Council adopted an action plan for a gender-equal Stockholm by 2030, aiming to provide all Stockholm residents with equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender.

The Moderates, Sweden Democrats, Liberals, and Centre Party formally dissented from the decision.

The City Council decided to lower fees for preschools, after-school care, and irregular hours care starting July 1, 2026. This adjustment aligns with new national rules introducing an income disregard, meaning the first SEK 10,000 of income will no longer be included when calculating fees. This decision is contingent upon the government and the Swedish National Agency for Education approving the new national levels.

These new plans replace older guidelines and programs.

The Board of Stockholms Stadshus AB approved a 2026 forecast showing improved financial results but also sharply increasing investment volumes and debt.

They argued that increased debt crowds out welfare investments and called for measures to reduce debt, such as selling assets and prioritizing investments.

The Group Board proposes that the City Council lift the swimming ban at nine specific locations in central Stockholm, including parts of Norra and Södra Djurgården, Årstaviken, Marievikskajen, northern Reimersholme, southern Lilla Essingen, Luxviken, Gröndal, and southern Skeppsholmen. They also suggest allowing swimming in city-approved, purpose-built structures. Jonas Naddebo (C) dissents, arguing the city should instead introduce a general swimming permit rather than lifting bans piecemeal.

The City Executive Board will consider a motion by Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposing that the Sports and Real Estate Committee be tasked with expanding regional cooperation on all sports facilities to increase physical activity among children and youth, citing a lack of facilities. The presenting City Commissioner, Jan Valeskog, suggests the City Council reject the motion, arguing that existing collaborations are in place and the city is already actively building new facilities and engaging with neighboring municipalities, especially for niche sports. Opposing members from the Moderate Party, Liberal Party, and Centre Party propose approving the motion and conducting an inquiry to address challenges arising from differing regulations and fees between municipalities.

A motion from Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate the long-term need for and funding of leisure activities for children and young people with disabilities, arguing that their opportunities are limited and unevenly distributed. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that similar collaborations already exist through networks like "Fritid för alla" and the Association for Greater Stockholm's Culture and Leisure Managers (FSKF).

The motion proposes cancelling the land allocation for housing at Solviksängen along Alviksvägen and including areas 25 and 44 in the Ålstensskogen and Storskogen nature reserve. Instead, it proposes building new rental housing in Bromma within larger areas that have already been developed, such as Alviks strand, Brommadepån and Linta Gårdsväg, where more than 2,000 homes are planned. However, the city administrations assess that the site could be considered for around 50 homes, with its natural and recreational values to be investigated further during the detailed planning process.

A motion suggests Stockholm City should investigate using the work tunnels in the New Östberga Tunnel as shelters or protected spaces for residents. The City Executive Board proposes responding to the motion by stating that the national government, through the Agency for Civil Protection, is responsible for identifying shelter needs and funding. The city awaits a national process and requirements before it can inventory and potentially adapt such spaces.

A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed expanding regional cooperation on all sports facilities through the Sports Committee and Real Estate Committee, aiming to increase physical activity among children and youth by addressing facility shortages that limit organized sports. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing sufficient existing cooperation and stating that providing facilities for amateur sports is each municipality's own responsibility.

A motion suggests Stockholm City investigate the need for and funding of leisure activities for children and youth with disabilities, as current offerings are unevenly distributed across the county. The motion proposes stronger inter-municipal cooperation to ensure all children have access to regular leisure activities, but the City Executive Board recommends rejecting it, citing existing collaborations like "Fritid för alla" and the Association of Greater Stockholm's Culture and Leisure Managers (FSKF).
