The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council will review a citizen proposal to convert a gravel pitch in Hässelby gård into a dog park, citing its infrequent use for football and frequent use by dog owners. The administration proposes acknowledging the suggestion and stating that they conducted a review of dog parks in 2023, with plans for additional facilities to ensure a more even distribution within the district, and will consider this request in their ongoing work.

The Hässelby-Vällingby district council will review a citizen proposal to build a dog park at Johannelundstoppen, with the submitter arguing it's a suitable and much-needed location. The district administration has noted the request for a dog park in Vinsta as it works to achieve a more even distribution of dog parks throughout the area.

A citizen proposed that Hässelby-Vällingby district administration should partner with companies like Veteranpoolen to offer seniors help with snow removal and gardening, in addition to home care, to combat social isolation. The administration considers these services outside the scope of home care and that such collaborations would require public procurement. Furthermore, they note that similar services are already available privately with RUT deductions, and they already offer several initiatives to combat social isolation among seniors.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council will consider approving revised internal procedures covering feedback and complaints, goal setting and follow-up, deviation management in improvement efforts, and local Lex Sarah routines. The aim is to update and enhance these procedures to ensure high quality, legal certainty, and efficiency, ultimately benefiting the district's residents.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board is set to approve the July 2026 monthly report. While the administration expects the budget to be balanced overall, it notes some deviations, including a projected 6 million SEK deficit in elder care due to increased costs for nursing homes, offset by lower costs for financial assistance.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council will receive several reports concerning social services and care in Stockholm. Highlights include a 2025 annual report for social services showing a decrease in children from families receiving financial aid, but an increase in demand for interventions related to relationship violence. Additionally, a health protection supervision report for care homes (2023-2025) revealed serious deficiencies in 42% of inspected homes, mainly regarding lack of Legionella routines, abnormal water temperatures, and noise.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council will be informed of responses to three citizen proposals concerning the relocation of deer, the creation of a dog park at Långbro Park, and parking at Älvsjö IP.

This item reports on delegated decisions made by the Hägersten-Älvsjö district administration, covering various matters such as building permit referrals and opinions on liquor licenses. Notably, the administration supports a building permit application to convert an office building in Herrgården 1, Älvsjö, into an International English School, seeing it as a potential boost to safety. However, they question the need for a new preschool given declining birth rates in the area and express reservations about granting a permanent building permit during ongoing subway construction and planning for the area.

Hägersten-Älvsjö City District Administration presented its July 2026 monthly report. The full-year 2026 forecast projects a deficit of 2.4 million SEK before transfers, but a surplus of 1.1 million SEK after transfers.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö and Skärholmen City District Councils' Disability Affairs Board met on June 11, 2026, where they learned about a pilot project called "Housing School/Ready to Move." This project aims to help individuals with disabilities transition into independent living, with Hägersten-Älvsjö being one of the first districts to participate. Additionally, a new "navigator" for disability and social psychiatry will start on September 1st, tasked with outreach and guiding residents to the appropriate resources.

The City Planning Administration has drafted a detailed development plan for the villa property Lejongapet 2 on Nedre Bergsvägen in Midsommarkransen. This plan aims to allow for a careful extension of the existing villa while ensuring the house complies with regulations and its cultural-historical values are preserved. The Hägersten-Älvsjö City District Council proposes that the section of Nedre Bergsvägen currently designated as parkland but functioning as a street be included in the plan and re-designated as streetland.

Liberal Party members propose Stockholm City investigate a municipal compensation system for children and youth who suffered abuse or serious neglect in public care, inspired by Norway's model. However, the Hägersten-Älvsjö district administration believes financial compensation is a complex issue best handled nationally to ensure equal conditions across the country. They suggest the government consider a new national review for those abused after 1980.

This Moderate Party motion proposes that the City of Stockholm strengthen social services' work against gang crime and the recruitment of young people. The proposal suggests expanding the city-wide reinforcement team, which supports district administrations with complex cases, to include a specialist team of social workers with expertise in gang-related crime. While the Hägersten-Älvsjö district administration agrees on the need for stronger efforts, they emphasize that the specialist team must work long-term and be locally rooted to build relationships and understand local conditions.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council is to comment on the Swedish Energy Agency's proposal to amend the Climate Premium for electric work machines. The administration supports broadening the aid to include charging and refueling infrastructure, and allowing lessees to apply. However, they question the proposal for lower support levels for municipalities and regions compared to private companies, and that a 1000 kg weight limit could exclude many smaller but important machines.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council is to consider a report regarding the state inquiry "The Road Towards Phasing Out" (SOU 2026:33), which concerns policy instruments for a fossil-free society. The district administration supports Sweden becoming fossil-free and finds the proposals align with the City of Stockholm's work. The administration emphasizes the importance of a socially just transition and requests a deeper analysis of the proposals' financial impact on municipalities.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council will provide feedback to the city executive board regarding the report "Conditions for an Equitable and Language-Developing Preschool" (SOU 2026:37). While the district administration welcomes proposals like clearer rules for group sizes and staffing, higher Swedish language requirements for staff, and support for children with special language development needs, including mandatory language assessments at age three, they believe the financial sustainability and language skill requirements for staff need further investigation.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council will provide feedback to the City Executive Board on a proposal for a common job description for cultural coordinators across Stockholm. The aim is to make culture more accessible and equitable for all residents, regardless of their location, with a particular focus on groups that have greater difficulty accessing cultural offerings, such as preschool children, seniors in elder care, and people with disabilities.

Liberalerna inquired about the many vacant service apartments in Hägersten-Älvsjö, questioning if the criteria for placement are too narrow. The district administration reported approximately 34 empty apartments, resulting in a 79.5 percent occupancy rate and an annual cost of about 2.5 million SEK. They explained that service apartment criteria are city-wide and cannot be changed locally, but a review of elderly care housing is underway, with plans to convert two service apartments in the district into nursing and care homes.

A citizen proposal suggested enhancing Sannadalsparken in Gröndal with various flowering plants to bloom from February to October. The administration will plant spring bulbs this autumn for next season's blooms, but will defer other plantings since an area was recently renovated.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council will consider a citizen proposal to develop play areas for younger children in Svandammsparken, Midsommarkransen, specifically suggesting the addition of small play islands or a train-themed play city. However, the administration proposes the council not expand the play areas, citing the park's existing popularity for various activities among children and adults, and the presence of several other toddler playgrounds nearby.
