Enskede-Årsta-Vantör

The Property Committee of Stockholm approved a status report on June 16, 2026, for the new swimming and sports hall project at Årstafältet. This means the construction of the new facility, located at Östberga 1:6 and part of Årsta 1:1, will continue as planned.

The Moderates are questioning the future of Hovet and a planned ice hockey project in Tallkrogen, criticizing the failed land allocation in Tallkrogen for Djurgården Hockey which creates uncertainty for the club. Urban Development and Sports Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) responded that the red-green majority intends to re-investigate the future of Hovet and the Globe area as an event cluster, but maintains that the Tallkrogen site remains suitable for sports.

Emelie Wassermann (SD) questioned Urban Development and Sports Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) regarding Svedmyrabadet's closure since autumn 2024, citing a lack of renovation plans or alternative swimming despite earlier promises. She pressed for a decision timeline for Svedmyrabadet, a plan for replacement facilities given Sandsborgsbadet's impending renovation, and why alternatives are currently missing. Valeskog confirmed Svedmyrabadet closed in autumn 2024, with a future assessment due in the first half of 2026, and acknowledged Sandsborgsbadet is currently serving as a replacement but also requires extensive renovation. The Real Estate Committee has initiated a takeover of Sandsborgsbadet, and evacuation plans will be investigated considering other existing and new pools.

Dennis Wedin (M) has questioned traffic commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding the reinstatement of an investigation into covering Nynäsvägen, arguing that the previous study was halted prematurely despite the road's significant noise and pollution for residents. Strömgren responded that comprehensive financial analyses between 2020-2025 deemed a cover economically unfeasible, adding that the city aims to reduce car traffic through investments in walking, cycling, and public transport to improve the environment along the road.

Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed an investigation into developing Högdalstopparna into an attractive outdoor recreation area with improved accessibility, including a multi-use track, and to explore public transport options to the site. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by noting that several committees and administrations are already developing Högdalstopparna, partly through a detailed plan, and that public transport is primarily a regional matter.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed the City Executive Board take lead responsibility for developing Fagersjöviken in Magelungen for water recreation, citing its deterioration due to overgrowth and a need for clearer governance. The City of Stockholm responded that extensive, coordinated efforts are already underway to improve Magelungen's water quality and recreational opportunities, including a local action program. The Board recommended dismissing the motion given ongoing work, though the Centre Party and Liberals dissented, arguing for more specific measures for Fagersjöviken.

In a motion, Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes transforming Johanneshovsvägen into a green boulevard by narrowing it from four to two lanes to make way for new housing (approx. 1045 units), cycling paths, pedestrian areas, and green spaces, including a new square at Lindes tram station. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing ongoing work on the Årsta thoroughfare, which already aligns with several of these proposals, thus negating the need for further directives to the committees.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that Stockholm Globe Arena Properties AB install new security solutions, in collaboration with Hammarby IF and Djurgårdens IF, to prevent disturbances and interrupted matches for the 2025 football season, following several incidents in 2024. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, arguing that work for safer football is ongoing and sustainable changes require a cultural shift, not just technical solutions. However, the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party filed reservations, wanting the motion approved for the city to do more to counter disturbances and preserve a vibrant fan culture.

The board of Micasa Fastigheter i Stockholm AB decided to investigate the possibility of building a new care home with approximately 200 places at the Hemsystern 1 property in Högdalen, instructing the CEO to return with a principal decision on the matter. Liso Norrman (L) dissented, advocating for the investigation to also include service apartments for seniors, while Nike Örbrink (KD) and Christoffer Hökmark (M) raised concerns about the building volumes relative to existing structures.

Micasa Fastigheter i Stockholm AB's board approved the Q1 2026 interim report, which included an income statement and an overview of major investment projects. The report showed residential rental income of SEK 196,421 thousand and commercial rental income of SEK 210,394 thousand, with an operating profit of SEK 39,447 thousand at the end of April 2026.

The City Planning Administration was tasked with revising a planning proposal for Enskede gård 1:1 at Hemskogsvägen. The initial proposal for 54 new homes, comprising 14 terraced houses and 40 apartments, was deemed to have a multi-family building that was too tall and an overall design lacking cohesion. The delegated officials requested the building's height be reduced to two or three stories and that the implications of preserving the forested area west of Hemskogsvägen be investigated.

The Beauty Council issued a positive statement regarding the building permit application for two new hotel pavilions at Hasselbacken, appreciating the well-designed structure and proposed material choices. They approved the permit on the condition that the property owner produces a full-scale facade mock-up to ensure quality, and requested to be called to the inspection.

The Cemeteries Committee decided to build a new chimney at the New Crematorium in Skogskyrkogården, aiming to improve operations, reduce energy consumption, and prevent corrosion. This decision means the Cemeteries Administration will now develop detailed project documentation, with an estimated cost of three million SEK.

The Cemeteries Committee was informed about the status of the Skogskrematoriet restoration, which is proceeding on schedule. The committee received an update on the current situation, budget, and identified risks.

The Real Estate Committee approved a project directive and tasked the Real Estate Department with investigating the conditions for renovating and adapting Sandsborgsbadet at Dalen 20. This investigation, estimated to cost up to 8 million SEK, will form the basis for a future policy decision. The Liberals issued a separate statement emphasizing the importance of considering locally produced energy sources like solar panels and geothermal heating, as well as green roofs, while respecting the building's cultural heritage classification.

The Real Estate Department and the Sports Administration have submitted a consultation statement regarding a new detailed plan for Högdalstopparna. While they are positive about the area being designated for outdoor recreation and allotments, they request larger areas for sports to develop the popular BMX activities. The departments believe the current proposal limits the facility's function and future development, especially given its status as a national resource.

Dennis Wedin (M) questioned Jan Valeskog (S), Commissioner for Urban Planning and Sport, regarding the uncertain future of Hovet arena and Djurgården Hockey's proposed arena in Tallkrogen. Wedin criticized the city's lack of clarity on Hovet's demolition and the failure to extend the land allocation for the Tallkrogen project, which has halted Djurgården's planned investment. Valeskog (S) responded that a review of urban development plans in the Globen area is underway to explore keeping an ice arena there, and while no request for an extension for Tallkrogen has been received, the site is still considered suitable for sports.

Emelie Wassermann (SD) questioned City Planning and Sports Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) regarding Svedmyrabadet's closure since autumn 2024, with no decision on renovation or replacement. She highlighted that Sandsborgsbadet, proposed as an alternative, is now also slated for lengthy renovation, impacting residents in southern Stockholm dependent on these pools. The Commissioner stated an investigation into Svedmyrabadet's future will be presented in the first half of 2026, and while Sandsborgsbadet currently offers warmer water and better accessibility, it too will require future closure for renovation.

Dennis Wedin (M) has interpellated Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding resuming the investigation into decking over Nynäsvägen, which runs through Gamla Enskede and Johanneshov, citing noise and pollution. Wedin questioned why an earlier investigation was halted without a full cost analysis. Strömgren responded that detailed calculations for several scenarios showed a deck-over to be unfinanceable, leading to the work's termination, and stated that the city's investments in walking, cycling, and public transport aim to reduce car traffic and improve the environment along Nynäsvägen.
