Council Focuses on Accessibility, Budgets, and Health Priorities

The Council for Disability Issues met to discuss several key items, including Boverket's new accessibility regulations, which only require 20% of student apartments to be fully accessible, causing concern. They also reviewed the Property Committee's 2026 budget, which includes investments in Vällingby swimming and sports hall and the City Library, promising continued accessibility improvements in city sports facilities. Furthermore, the Environment and Health Protection Committee's 2026 budget and focus areas were presented, prioritizing issues like allergen-free meals in restaurants, chemicals in child-resistant closures, and making nature reserves more accessible.
