The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration proposes appointing Marcus Nilsson as the Medically Responsible for Rehabilitation (MAR) starting May 1, 2026. This appointment is in response to a new legal requirement effective July 1, 2026, mandating that every municipality have an MAR to ensure quality and patient safety in municipal rehabilitation services.

The Social Services Department and the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Administration propose planning a new group home with six apartments for individuals with disabilities in the Blixtlåset 1 property, Enskede-Årsta-Vantör. This facility, expected to be completed by 2030 with an estimated annual rent of approximately SEK 1.3 million, addresses the city's significant shortage of housing for this group.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council will address a letter from Peter Backlund (L) and Urban Rybrink (L) expressing concern about the recruitment of children and youth into far-right activist clubs in southern Stockholm. The district administration outlines its ongoing work against violent extremism, which is integrated into crime prevention efforts and involves collaboration with schools, social services, police, and recreation (SSPF), alongside guidelines to prevent extremism and bar extremist groups from using municipal premises. The administration proposes that the council approve their official statement in response to the letter.

The Left Party, Social Democrats, and Green Party questioned the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration regarding a web-based training for managers on Environmental Program 2030, noting that only 44 percent had completed it. The administration responded that the one-hour training summarizes the program, and they have promoted it through reminders and will integrate it into new manager onboarding, aiming for all managers to be knowledgeable about the program through various means.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council will address a Center Party letter concerning the impact of so-called "competence deportations" on the district's staffing needs. The Center Party questions how the administration can ensure staffing when employees, particularly in elder care and preschools, face deportation risks. The District Administration replies that they are implementing a three-year strategy to attract and retain staff and view competence provision as a significant challenge, but currently find it difficult to assess the effects of potential competence deportations.

A citizen proposed building a boules court and adding park furniture in Margaretaparken. The district administration views the proposal positively, believing it would diversify spontaneous sports areas, and finds a gravel boules area feasible, though a court with a border would not suit the park. The board is now deciding whether to approve the administration's response to the citizen proposal.

A citizen proposal suggests converting the sunbathing jetties at Årstaviken into swimming jetties with benches and sunbathing areas, also questioning why swimming in Årstaviken wouldn't be suitable. However, the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration advises against this, as Årstaviken is part of the Stockholmleden waterway used by larger boats, making swimming there, especially on the southern side, inappropriate.

The Skarpnäck District Council will be informed about incoming and outgoing correspondence, as well as excerpts from meeting minutes. This includes citizen proposals to replace gravel with artificial turf at Nytorps gärde and to build a dance floor in Skarpaby park, plus a viewpoint on advertising displays on Stångåvägen in Bagarmossen. The council will also receive information from reports by various departments, including the Culture Administration, Preschool Administration, and the City Executive Office.

The Skarpnäck District Council is set to review three citizen proposals: one suggests converting Tätorp's ball court into an artificial ice rink due to the lack of outdoor options in the district. Another proposes replacing the gravel football pitch at Nytorps gärde with artificial turf for increased usability for children and youth. The third aims to build a simple 30-square-meter dance floor in Skarpaby park for summer dance and activities.

The Skarpnäck District Council is addressing a letter from politicians concerned about the recruitment of children and youth into right-wing extremist groups. While the district administration reports no confirmed cases of such recruitment, they acknowledge the presence of right-wing extremist graffiti in public spaces and outline ongoing preventative work, collaboration with schools and police, and existing routines to handle concerns related to violent extremism, with further development of these procedures planned. They also assure that processes are in place to prevent the misuse of municipal premises and grants by inappropriate actors.

A citizen proposal suggests upgrading Magnebergsparken in Enskededalen with perennial beds, bushes, and more lilacs, also dividing the park into "rooms" for play, grilling, and relaxation. The Skarpnäck district administration is positive and includes the park in its long-term renovation plans, but no investments are planned before a major upgrade can begin, earliest 2030, due to the high cost exceeding the district administration's budget.

The Skarpnäck District Council is set to review a citizen proposal from Åsa Malmström to create deer-resistant flowering field edges around Nytorps gärde to support pollinators, arguing it would benefit visitors and the ecosystem. However, the district administration recommends against pursuing the proposal in its current form, citing existing initiatives like meadow mowing and bulb planting for biodiversity, and concerns that wide flowering zones would impact accessibility, maintenance, and incur unbudgeted costs.

The Skarpnäck District Committee will consider a citizen proposal for all municipal meals to be entirely plant-based, citing reduced emissions and more efficient preparation of special diets. The District Administration notes they already work to reduce meat consumption per city programs, but a fully plant-based diet is currently offered as a special option, not the standard.

The Environmental and Health Protection Committee has updated dietary advice for self-caught fish in several Stockholm waterways due to elevated levels of PFAS, especially PFOS. The public is now strongly advised not to consume any self-caught fish from Magelungen and Drevviken. For other lakes like Brunnsviken and Årstaviken, children, adolescents, pregnant and breastfeeding individuals, and those planning pregnancy should limit consumption to 2-3 times per year, while others can eat fish up to once a week. These are recommendations, not fishing bans, and are being communicated to relevant authorities.

The Environment and Health Protection Committee approved a report on the inspection of care homes in Stockholm between 2023 and 2025. This revealed that 42 percent of homes had serious deficiencies requiring follow-up, often due to poor routines for legionella, abnormal water temperatures, and noise. The Committee decided to forward the report to the district committees and the elderly care administration, and the environment administration will develop digital guidance and webinars in 2026 to improve knowledge among operators and property owners.

The Environmental and Health Protection Committee approved the administration's response regarding property-proximal waste collection in older inner-city properties. The response clarified that general exemptions cannot be mandated, but Stockholm Vatten och Avfall (SVOA) has established criteria for alternative solutions in cases of limited space, unreasonable economic burden, or historical classification. The committee will continue to closely monitor the implementation, particularly the application of these criteria and the sufficiency of information provided to property owners.

The Environmental and Health Protection Committee approved the Environmental Administration's response to a referral from the City Executive Board regarding snow dumping. While the administration acknowledged that dumping snow in water, especially from high-traffic areas, contributes to pollution and should be minimized, it currently remains the only solution for maintaining accessibility during heavy snowfall. The committee emphasized the need to investigate alternative methods and allocate land for snow storage, noting that new dispensation conditions, valid until 2031, have been nuanced regarding "freshly fallen snow."

The Environment and Health Protection Committee rejected the Chemicals Agency's proposal to abolish the permit requirement for professional sellers of particularly hazardous chemical products, citing concerns it could boost sales of such products, weaken corporate self-regulation, and complicate oversight. However, the Committee approved other parts of the proposal, including removing the record-keeping requirement for business-to-business sales of dangerous chemicals and exempting e-liquids and tobacco-free nicotine products from chemical regulations. The Moderate Party members dissented, advocating for the removal of the permit requirement to reduce business costs.

The Environmental and Health Protection Committee approved the Environmental Administration's proposal responding to Linnéa Vinge (SD)'s motion to ensure meat as an option in the city's public meals. The Administration deemed current guidelines already provide healthy and nutritious food for various groups and support climate goals by increasing plant-based options and reducing meat, without removing choice. Anders Edin (SD) dissented, advocating for the motion to guarantee at least one full-value meat, poultry, or fish option at every lunch in preschools, schools, and elderly care.

The Environmental and Health Protection Committee approved the Environmental Administration's proposed referral response regarding a new "Program for Events" in Stockholm. While the Administration welcomed the program, it criticized the vague and insufficiently guiding language concerning environmental and climate impact. The Moderates and Vice Chairman Elin Hjelmestam (L) dissented, arguing the matter should be returned for further development to include broader dialogue with the event industry, as they felt the basis lacked practical knowledge.
