Bromma

A citizen proposal to install a shower at Johannelundsbadet by summer 2026 was rejected by the Bromma City District Administration. While the proposal argued a shower would help rinse off bacteria from the often-poor water quality, the administration believes it could encourage swimming despite environmental office warnings. Instead, they will prioritize improving water quality in 2026, after which a shower installation can be reconsidered.

The City Council is set to consider a citizen proposal to renovate Blackeberg Square. The proposal suggests making the square more attractive with new neon signs, additional trees, flowers, and benches, and also recommends repainting building facades in warmer colors to draw more businesses and restaurants to the area.

The Bromma District Council and the Social Services Committee are to consider a proposal to lease a group home with five apartments for individuals with disabilities in the Utombordaren 2 property in Bromma. This facility aims to reduce the shortage of LSS housing in the city, with an estimated move-in date of September 2026 and an anticipated first-year rent of approximately 1.9 million SEK.

The Bromma District Council will approve its first tertial report for 2026, which will then be submitted to the City Executive Board. The report includes adjusted annual targets for areas such as electronic purchases and the number of summer jobs for youths. Additionally, the council is applying for 5.5 million SEK in funding for competence development in areas like vocational Swedish in preschools, mental health, dementia care, and assistant nurse training programs.

The Bromma District Council is set to review the City Audit's 2025 annual report, which found that the council generally managed its operations and finances appropriately, but noted that internal governance and control are only partially adequate. Persistent areas for improvement include contract follow-up, child safety in preschools, monitoring of association grants, payment card handling, and strengthening efforts against welfare fraud, such as through spot checks in elder care.

The Municipal Council is to consider a revised plan for the development of Blackeberg Square, aiming to create over 120 new homes, a health center, and commercial spaces by relocating Vinjegatan. The project's cost has increased from SEK 42.6 million to approximately SEK 79 million, with a four-year delay in the timeline. If 30 of the new homes become rental apartments instead of condominiums, they will be allocated as senior housing for those over 55, while larger rental units will be prioritized for families with children through Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm AB.

The Cemeteries Committee will review several received decisions, judgments, and letters, including a decision from the Stockholm County Administrative Board concerning the write-off of a grave right holder case, permission to restore an altar crucifix in the Chapel of Faith, and a burial dispute. Additionally, the committee will address correspondence regarding accessibility issues at Bromma cemetery.

The Board of AB Familjebostäder is to approve a status report on new construction, detailing the company's contribution to the city's goal of 140,000 new homes by 2035. Familjebostäder is tasked with building approximately 1,170 new apartments during the current mandate period. The report outlines the current status of land allocations and construction starts, noting no planned starts for 2026, and anticipates 49 apartments in the Oldmästaren project in Nockebyhov will be completed in Q3-Q4 2026.

A motion by Johan Paccamonti (M) proposes halting development on Solviksängen in Bromma, instead incorporating it into the Ålstensskogen and Storskogen nature reserve to protect green spaces and promote building on already developed land. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding that Solviksängen is deemed suitable for housing according to the city's comprehensive plan, and environmental impacts will be assessed during the detailed planning process.

The Sports Committee is proposed to grant Mossen Hockey AB 572,000 SEK for 2026. This support will compensate Mossen Hockey AB for lost revenue during the off-season, stemming from the City Council's decision to implement a year-round zero-fee policy for children's and youth activities in municipal sports facilities. This ensures that children and young people in IK Göta Bromma can continue to train at no cost in the HCL Hall, mirroring other ice rinks in Stockholm.

Councillor Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned the Climate and Environment Commissioner, Åsa Lindhagen (MP), regarding lost environmental values due to urban densification, citing Myrberget in Bromma as an example where the majority's housing policy threatens green spaces and recreational opportunities. Lindhagen responded that the Red-Green majority prioritizes protecting natural areas, establishing nature reserves, and increasing greenery while acknowledging the need for new housing, particularly on hardened ground. She noted that the Moderates had supported the land allocation for the Tranebergsvägen project, which includes 60 rental units, six of which are LSS housing.

Councillor Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned Jan Valeskog (S), Commissioner for Urban Development and Sport, about "secret" building plans at Ålstensskogen and Storskogen, expressing concern that a large green space was excluded from theigned nature reserve, potentially leading to large-scale development. Valeskog responded that the Municipal Council will decide on establishing the Ålstensskogen–Storskogen nature reserve, and the Exploitation Committee has designated land for approximately 50 Stockholmshus rental apartments in Ålsten 1:1, aiming to diversify housing options in southern Bromma.

Jonas Naddebo and Claes Nyberg (Centre Party) proposed that the city investigate and implement measures to create secondary school places in northern Bromma, arguing that the long commute for current students violates the Education Act and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that the need for secondary school places is already met and the student population in Bromma is expected to decrease.

Liberal party members propose that the City of Stockholm appoint a dedicated environmental controller for the Bromma Park City development project. This role would ensure the project's environmental and climate impact is minimized, remediation is healthy and safe, and biodiversity is preserved. However, the City Executive Office, the Land and Exploitation Committee, and the Building Committee currently deem a special environmental controller unnecessary, as the project is in its early stages and similar functions are already being established.

The City Council is proposed to establish the Åkeslund Biotope Protection Area in Bromma. This roughly 6.8-hectare area, characterized by very old trees, will be protected to preserve and develop its natural values and biodiversity. Following public consultation in winter 2026, the proposal was adjusted based on feedback, notably by excluding major utility corridors from the protected area.

The Culture Administration will report on several delegated decisions concerning various matters within the culture sector. This includes a proposed collaboration agreement between Bain & Company Sweden KB and Liljevalchs for supporting the Spring Salon until 2027. Decisions will also be made regarding artistic design for Bryggeriet Bromma, as well as several building permit cases and consultation responses affecting the city's cultural environments.

The Municipal Council is proposed to establish the Åkeslund Biotope Protection Area in Bromma, formally protecting approximately 6.8 hectares of old growth trees to preserve natural values, biodiversity, and a valued recreational area. The proposal was adjusted after consultation, excluding large utility corridors, but the Liberal and Centre parties reserved their positions, arguing the protection is too extensive and the process rushed.

Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned Climate and Environment Commissioner Åsa Lindhagen (MP) regarding the decrease of green spaces in Stockholm due to densification and how nature values are to be preserved, citing Myrberget in Bromma as an example where new housing is planned on green space. Lindhagen responded that the majority is working to protect nature areas through new biotop protection areas and nature reserves, while acknowledging the acute need for new housing. She emphasized building primarily on hardened ground and that construction in green areas should be restrictive and include ecological compensation.

Johan Paccamonti (M) questioned City Planning Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) about construction plans for Ålstensskogen and Storskogen, as a green area will not be part of the new nature reserve, expressing concern about large-scale development and secrecy. Valeskog responded that the City Council will decide on establishing the 67.2-hectare Ålstensskogen–Storskogen nature reserve, and the Exploitation Committee has allocated land for approximately 50 new rental apartments (Stockholmshus) at Ålsten 1:1 to diversify housing in southern Bromma, assuring an open planning process for public input.

Jonas Naddebo and Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that the city investigate and create junior high school places in northern Bromma, arguing that the lack of nearby schools leads to long commutes and fails to meet the requirements of the Education Act and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the need for junior high school places is already met and student numbers in Bromma are expected to decrease, though permanent facilities for Adolfsbergsskolan will be designed flexibly for future needs.
