Bromma

The Bromma District Council has approved a proposal to plan for a new group home for six apartments and common areas, under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS), at Norrmannen 11 in Bromma. This initiative, aiming for occupancy by 2030 with an estimated annual rent of SEK 1.5 million, seeks to address the shortage of LSS housing in Stockholm.

The Bromma District Council has decided to delegate to social welfare emergency staff the authority to request police assistance in specific cases. This means 35 named social welfare emergency officers now have the right to ask the police for help with interventions under the Act on the Care of Abusers (LVM), the Act with Special Provisions on the Care of Young Persons (LVU), and the Act on the Placement of Children in Sheltered Accommodation.

The Bromma District Council decided to revise its delegation procedures, altering how decisions are made within adult individual and family care, and care for adults and children with disabilities. These changes include new delegations to unit managers for handling rejected applications, reconsidering decisions, deviating from public procurement laws, and approving housing agreements for special services under the LSS Act.

The Bromma District Council approved the administration's proposal to allocate association grants for 2026. A total of 1,016,234 SEK was awarded to 14 of 15 non-profit associations active in Bromma, which offer activities such as sports, culture, senior programs, efforts to combat loneliness, and services for children and youth.

The Bromma District Council approved the administration's budget proposal for 2027, with a focus for 2028 and 2029, which outlines future forecasts and priorities for the council's operations and was forwarded to the City Executive Board. The Liberal Party, Sweden Democrats, and Centre Party reserved themselves against the decision, citing their own budget proposals and criticism of inadequate solutions for challenges such as segregation, school results, and workforce supply.

The Social Welfare Committee approved plans to design a new group home under the LSS Act at Norrmannen 11 in Bromma. This facility will provide six apartments for people with disabilities, with an estimated occupancy in 2030, addressing the city's significant shortage of such housing. The annual rent for the 406 square meters is estimated at approximately 1.5 million SEK.

Center Party politicians Jonas Naddebo and Claes Nyberg have proposed building a new junior high school in northern Bromma, arguing that the long commute negatively impacts students. They suggest options like upgrading Bällstalundsskolan, expanding Mariehällsskolan, or considering costs for a school in Södra Solvallastaden. However, the city administration and Councillor Emilia Bjuggren believe current junior high capacity in northern Bromma is sufficient, citing an expected drastic decrease in student numbers across Bromma. They contend a new school would result in half-empty premises, diverting funds from education, and emphasize that existing schools like Adolfsbergsskolan can be flexibly adapted for future needs.

The City Executive Board and the Group Board for Stockholm City Hall AB approved a revised directive for Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB's Centrala Bromma, Riksby project, with an investment cost of SEK 636 million. The project, which enables the development of housing and commercial spaces, has been scaled down to improve profitability. This decision means Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB (SVOA) is responsible for the planning and construction management of the water and wastewater system, and will incur SEK 8 million in sunk costs.

Councillor Johan Paccamonti (M) has questioned Climate and Environment Commissioner Åsa Lindhagen (MP) regarding the frequent disappearance of Stockholm's green spaces, particularly in villa areas, as the city densifies. He specifically cited Myrberget in Bromma, a green space with high natural value used by Alviksskolan students, which is at risk of development. Paccamonti seeks clarification on which natural values are prioritized and what measures the Commissioner will take to prevent the exploitation of Myrberget.

A Moderate politician questioned the City Planning Commissioner about the exclusion of an area near Ålstensskogen and Storskogen in Bromma from the new nature reserve, expressing concern over potential housing development and secrecy surrounding the plans. The Commissioner responded that the city aims to both protect nature and build housing in southern Bromma, thus establishing a nature reserve while also allocating land for approximately 50 new rental units, which will undergo an open planning process.

The Liberals proposed hiring a dedicated "environmental controller" for the major Bromma development project to ensure its environmental sustainability, overseeing tasks like ground remediation and biodiversity protection, and reporting to the City Council. However, several city departments deemed the proposal premature, citing existing efforts to form a sustainability specialist group and suggesting a sustainability strategist instead. The City Executive Board rejected the motion, though Jan Jönsson (L) dissented, arguing an environmental controller is vital for transparency and accountability in such a large undertaking.

The City of Stockholm plans to establish the Ålstensskogen and Storskogen nature reserves in Bromma, covering about 67.2 hectares including Solviksbadet. This proposal aims to protect the forest, its high natural values, cultural environment, and secure public access for recreation, bathing, and outdoor life. While the proposal was slightly adjusted after a minority referral, several parties (M, L, SD, C, KD) have criticized the proposed boundaries, arguing that additional areas with natural values, particularly area 25, should be included in the reserve instead of potentially being developed.

This detailed development plan enables the construction of approximately 320 new homes, a preschool, and new commercial services in Mariehäll, Stockholm. It also aims to create a new park, gathering places, and improved pedestrian paths, though it requires the demolition of the yellow-classified building Hingsten 1, a decision deemed necessary to meet the demand for housing and social infrastructure despite public engagement.

Stockholm's City Executive Board has approved a plan for approximately 320 new homes, a preschool, commercial spaces, and new park areas in Mariehäll, near Bällstavägen. A portion of the land will be sold to Peab Bostad AB for SEK 126.7 million, who will construct 158 homes, including a group home and a preschool. The city's costs for street and park development are estimated at SEK 132.2 million, with an anticipated profit of SEK 28 million.

The City Planning Office proposes a new detailed plan for the Trafikflyget 4 property and surrounding areas in Riksby, near Bromma Airport. The plan includes a new building for offices, a hotel, and ground-floor retail, connected to an existing heritage-listed building where hotel operations are confirmed and protected. This proposal aims to create a safer, more accessible environment with more greenery, improved stormwater management, and stronger connections to surrounding areas. Comments on the proposal are welcome until May 4, 2026.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB plans to construct a new waterworks on southern Lovön, as the current facility, built in the 1930s, is outdated and requires either a risky renovation or replacement. This new waterworks, estimated to cost around 8.2 billion SEK (excluding price index risk), is intended to secure Stockholm's drinking water supply for at least 2045, by which time the population is projected to reach nearly 2.2 million.
