All agenda items

The Skarpnäck District Council is tasked with providing an opinion on the City of Stockholm's action plan for children's rights and influence until 2030. This plan aims to combat discrimination and promote equal living conditions for all children in the city, partly by strengthening their participation and access to welfare. The Skarpnäck District Council supports the plan but emphasizes that children's participation must be meaningful in practice.

Residents in Skarpnäck, Bagarmossen, Kärrtorp, Björkhagen, and Hammarbyhöjden have complained about poor snow removal, particularly on streets and pedestrian/bicycle paths, making it difficult for the elderly, disabled, and families with children to get around. The district administration states they are responsible for parkland while the Traffic Office handles street areas, and their cooperation works despite many complaints regarding streets. The administration believes snow removal on parkland has functioned well and existing agreements are sufficient, even though preschools and facilities for the elderly and disabled have experienced some problems.

A citizen proposed installing a basketball hoop at Gullpigan playground in northern Hammarbyhöjden due to a local shortage. The Skarpnäck District Administration supports this, noting the location is far enough from homes to prevent noise disturbance. Construction is planned for 2026, funded by park investment means, providing residents with a new opportunity for spontaneous sports.

A citizen proposed opening a new cultural center or youth recreation center in Bagarmossen. The district council thanks the citizen for the suggestion but rejects it, as there are no plans to establish a new recreation center. Instead, they will continue to develop and strengthen existing recreation centers and Skarpnäck cultural center to provide meaningful leisure activities for young people.

A citizen proposed building a new 200 m² skateboard ramp between Bagarmossen and Skarpnäck to create an accessible meeting place for all ages, citing insufficient existing ramps. However, the administration rejects the proposal due to financial constraints and the area's high natural value, as it is currently being investigated for potential designation as a nature reserve.

Residents of Bagarmossen proposed an outdoor gym on the site of the demolished Vitsippan preschool. While the administration supports the idea, they cannot build it now due to the land not being designated as parkland and its future being uncertain. The nearest outdoor gym is approximately 700 meters away in Brotorp.

The Skarpnäck District Council has compiled all citizen proposals received in 2025, totaling 23 proposals and 26 viewpoints. Urban environment and development accounted for 43% of these, while culture and recreation made up 30%. The council approved or partially approved about 20% of the proposals, rejected 60%, and 20% are still pending.

The Skarpnäck District Council will join other southern districts in a joint procurement to find a contractor for park investments and major maintenance work, allowing for the renovation and improvement of parks, pathways, stairs, and playground equipment. This agreement, estimated to cost the Skarpnäck District Council approximately 8 million SEK annually, is set to begin on November 18, 2026.

The Skarpnäck District Council has approved how association grants for 2025 were utilized. A total of SEK 518,000 was distributed to 35 associations, with an additional SEK 300,000 going to 12 associations in an extra round; most used funds as planned for activities like youth programs, senior events, and amateur culture. Three associations had to repay part of their grant as they couldn't fully implement their activities.

The Skarpnäck District Council is distributing SEK 600,000 in association grants for 2026 to 35 out of 42 applicants. These grants aim to support local community life in areas such as children's and youth activities, elder care, amateur culture, disability work, and environmental initiatives. The council will also cover approximately SEK 410,000 in rental costs for association premises.

This is a notification regarding the minutes from the Norra Innerstaden management group meeting on March 18, 2026. The minutes included discussions on work environment and health, such as women's health in the 45-60 age group, and a smoke-damaged preschool in Norra Innerstaden. The cleaning agreement for the district and the handling of LGBTQI+ days in preschools were also discussed.

The Disability Council for Norra innerstaden and Kungsholmen reported accessibility issues at Nova preschool, where a steep staircase and an unsafe goods lift hinder disabled children. The council urged the district to fix these problems, possibly by installing a passenger lift, and to always consult them on future site selections to ensure accessibility.

This is a notification concerning the Norra innerstaden City District Administration's mail list for the period of February 5 to March 11, 2026. The list contains various matters received or initiated during this time, including citizen proposals, referrals, applications, and complaints across areas such as schools, elder care, public safety, and urban planning.

This item reports on decisions made by officials between February 5 and March 11, 2026, including individual rulings on children's right to preschool placement, extended hours, or continuing at their current preschool after moving. Decisions also covered temporary closures of the Youth Clinic and Öppna förskolan Grev Ture, along with principals allocating extra funds for preschool children needing special support and investigations into reported cases of harassment or degrading treatment.

The City District Council for Norra Innerstaden has approved a monthly financial report projecting a surplus of SEK 25.2 million for 2026. While elderly care is expected to generate a SEK 45 million surplus despite staffing challenges in residential and home care due to full-time initiatives and lost government grants, deficits are foreseen in areas like administrative overhead, financial assistance, and labor market measures, partly due to increased maintenance.

Two Center Party politicians propose closing Lövängsgatan to traffic at Storängstorget in Norra Djurgårdsstaden during the summer to create a summer square. This aims to reduce accident risks for children moving between outdoor seating and a fountain, and to facilitate cultural activities under the "Vibrant Stockholm" concept. The administration views the proposal positively for creating a more pleasant environment, but suggests the traffic office first investigate traffic safety at the location.

Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposed a pilot project for a "citizen budget" in Stockholm, giving residents direct influence over a portion of the municipal budget for local projects, a proposal supported by the Norra innerstaden district committee. However, the administration believes such a pilot project is unnecessary, as the city has already been working with citizen budgets for ten years, utilizing an established methodology based on SKR's model, a process also outlined in the city's 2026 budget.

The City District Council for Norra Innerstaden has commented on a proposed action plan for children's rights and influence in Stockholm up to 2030. While generally supportive, the Council believes the plan needs clarification, especially regarding children's participation and influence, to emphasize children as competent individuals with their own rights. They also requested more concrete implementation guidelines and a focus not only on long-term consequences of vulnerable situations, but also on children's immediate health. The City Executive Board proposes approving the action plan to strengthen the city's work on children's rights, combat discrimination, and promote equal living conditions for all children in Stockholm.

The City of Stockholm is implementing a "Functional Program for Preschool Premises" to ensure consistent high quality and functionality for all new and renovated preschools. The Norra Innerstaden District Council supports the program but requests clarification on certain aspects, such as staff areas, playground design, and the inclusion of more roles like child rights coordinators in planning. They also propose changing "department" to "unit" for greater flexibility in premises usage.

The City Planning Administration has proposed an amendment to the detailed development plan for properties Repslagaren 31 and Östermalm 1:13 near Grev Turegatan and Humlegårdsgatan. This change would formally approve existing commercial operations, such as shops and restaurants, in the basement level. The amendment aims to correct an oversight in a previous 2022 plan that failed to include the basement's commercial use.
