The Kungsholmen District Council has reviewed the City of Stockholm's proposed new action plan for children's rights until 2030. While the council is generally positive about the plan's aim to secure children's rights, combat discrimination, and promote equal living conditions, they request clarifications and reinforcements. Specifically, they want more detail on how children's participation and influence will be ensured, how their views will be collected, and how the city will provide feedback to them.

Two politicians questioned why the Kungsholmen district board considered removing the designated areas for jet skis at Hornsberg, which were established for safety. The administration explained they initially thought of removal due to new regulations reducing issues, but decided to keep them after consulting residents and police. A deeper analysis is now planned for the area's development, including improving bathing safety.

The Centre Party on Kungsholmen inquired about the number of long-term sick-listed employees within the district administration who returned to work in 2024/2025. Approximately 20% have returned after rehabilitation, with a similar number ending their employment. The administration estimates that only about 3% of long-term sick-listed employees in 2025 engaged in work training at their own workplace, though exact figures for those via the Social Insurance Agency and Employment Service are unavailable.

The Kungsholmen District Council has decided to authorize specific politicians and officials to make swift decisions concerning compulsory care for young people and substance abusers, as well as placing children in protective housing.

These decisions include immediately taking children or young people into custody, determining where and how care should begin, and requesting police assistance if necessary.

The Kungsholmen District Council needs to elect new members to its social delegation. This is because a member and the chair have resigned, and a substitute member wishes to become a full member.

The District Council plans to renovate the 90-meter park section on Ola Hanssonsgatan in Kristineberg during spring 2026. The renovation, estimated to cost between 2.5 and 2.8 million SEK, will include new trees, bushes, and flower meadows to increase biodiversity. Additionally, bicycle parking will be better organized and new seating created to make the park more pleasant to visit.

The Kungsholmen District Council plans to renovate Disponentparken on Lilla Essingen, starting in autumn 2026, at a cost of 3.7 million SEK. The park will feature a dedicated play area for younger children and an open section for socializing and relaxation, incorporating more durable plants and improved accessibility. The administration received extensive feedback from public dialogue, which served as the basis for the renewal.

The Kungsholmen District Council is to decide whether to extend the operating agreement for Solbacken care home with the private company Vardaga Silverhemmen AB until January 2030. Vardaga has operated the 64-bed dementia care home since 2021, and the administration recommends an extension. This is because the service is deemed to meet requirements, and an extension would provide the most stability and least disruption for residents and staff.

The Kungsholmen District Council reports on unexecuted decisions made under the Social Services Act (SoL) and LSS within three months during the fourth quarter of 2025. This includes six decisions concerning functional impairments and 22 within elderly care. Many of these cases involve individuals declining offered housing or services, but a lack of available places or difficulties in recruiting staff are also cited.

The Kungsholmen District Council is to approve a plan for special housing for individuals with disabilities and social psychiatric needs for 2026-2036. The Inner City Region (Kungsholmen, Norra Innerstaden, and Södermalm) has identified a need for more group homes with standard accessibility and spacious, detached group homes, despite the challenges of building these in the inner city. The goal is to meet growing demand and reduce placements outside the standard system.

The Kungsholmen District Council is proposed to approve the allocation of association grants for 2026. A total of SEK 800,000 will be distributed to 17 local associations and non-profit organizations, aiming to boost community engagement and local activities for Kungsholmen residents, including senior activities, youth sports, and cultural events.

The Kungsholmen District Council is set to approve the February 2026 monthly report, which includes an economic forecast for the year. The administration is projected to have a surplus of 1.5 million SEK, with elder care and other operations contributing to this surplus, while labor market measures and financial assistance are expected to show deficits.

The Järva City District Administration's Pensioner Council held a meeting to discuss how they can become more involved in the committee process, ensuring their views are considered early in matters affecting them.

The meeting minutes from the Disability Council's March 13, 2026 meeting in the Järva District Administration were noted.

The council wishes for earlier involvement in committee processes, the opportunity to follow up on decisions, and to visit parks to assess accessibility.

This protocol from the Järva Business Council outlines collaboration with local businesses in areas like Tensta, Rinkeby, and Husby. The council also discussed the city's crisis preparedness and its implications for the business sector. Business associations from Spånga and Lunda presented their operations, raising issues such as parking problems and the importance of preserving Lunda as a business area.

The Järva City District Administration has commented on new guidelines for distributing special housing, such as residences for individuals with disabilities or mental health issues, in Stockholm. The administration welcomes the guidelines, believing they will increase fairness and clarity in the process. However, they emphasize that housing must always meet individual needs and that children and young people require sufficient notice for placements, ensuring no one is offered unsuitable housing simply to avoid penalties.

The Moderates propose a crisis talk regarding Kista's issues with decreased safety and vacant offices, seeking a plan to enhance security and attractiveness for residents and businesses.

The City of Stockholm plans to launch a new digital map for its local public order regulations, making rules on everything from alcohol bans to dog exercise areas clearer and more accessible to residents.
