Enskede-Årsta-Vantör

The Social Services Administration and Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Administration propose that the city plan a new group home in Högdalen under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS). The home would have six apartments and staff around the clock, with move-in planned for 2028, and is expected to help reduce the shortage of places for people with disabilities; the preliminary annual rent is approximately SEK 1.6 million.

The Real Estate Office proposes that the Real Estate Committee approve the response to questions about three-dimensional property formation, whereby different parts of the same building can be owned separately. The Office is working on possible solutions for Dalen 20, which includes senior housing and Sandsborgsbadet, and is also discussing Gjutmästaren 6 at Ulvsunda Sports Centre; such solutions could allow sports facilities alongside offices or housing but would require complex rules on responsibility, maintenance, and costs.

The committee approved Enskedeparken Bakery’s application to serve alcoholic beverages to the public every day, from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. in the restaurant and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on the outdoor terrace. It also submitted its opinion to the Social Services Administration’s licensing unit and adopted the decision with immediate effect.

A citizen proposal seeks to preserve the gravel road between Älvsjöbadet and Hovstagränd as a cultural and natural environment, including by refurbishing information boards and park benches and preventing it from being paved. Instead, the administration proposes a compacted surface that looks like gravel, along with lighting, signs, and benches to improve safety and accessibility; the district council will consider the response on 24 September 2026.

The committee will review its second four-month report for 2026, covering operations and finances in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör. The administration expects most targets to be met and forecasts a surplus of SEK 13.4 million before carryovers and SEK 9.7 million after; high care costs for children and young people, and uncertainty about population changes, could affect the finances.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Administration proposes that the committee support a review and increase of funding for day activities for older people. Funding has increased by only about 30 percent since the choice-based system was introduced in 2009, despite higher costs, and better financing should support quality, social connection, and enable older people to remain living at home longer; in May 2026, 87 people in the district had been granted access to day activities.

The administration proposes that the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council approve the purchase or leasing of a specially adapted transport bus to replace a nine-year-old bus. The bus would transport materials and people to events such as neighborhood meetings, safety days, and summer plazas; since no electric model meets the requirements for at least nine cubic meters of cargo space and two rows of passenger seats, an exemption from the city’s environmental vehicle regulations is proposed.

The district administration proposes that Turinge short-term residential home for children and young people with disabilities move permanently from Gamla Magelungsvägen 14 to larger premises at Tussmötevägen 173. The move would accommodate more users and enable daytime short-term stays, while the current lease expires on 31 December 2026 and the new premises are expected to reduce costs.

The Social Services Administration and Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Administration propose approving the planning of a new group home in Högdalen. The home will have six apartments for people with disabilities under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS), with staff available around the clock, and is expected to be completed in 2028 near Högdalen centre and the metro. The initial annual rent is estimated at approximately SEK 1.6 million.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration proposes that the district council approve the follow-up of the six group homes in Vantör operated by Unika LSS Omsorg Sthlm AB. The services are generally considered to meet the contractual requirements and provide participation, individualized support, and health-promoting activities, but improvements are needed in areas including staffing, onboarding, and internal controls; over the past year, seven Lex Sarah reports and ten comments or complaints were handled.

The Finance and Public Safety Committee approved the upgrades to Tallkrogen School, with a rent-setting project cost of SEK 60 million and a first-year rent of SEK 4.9 million. The work includes improving ventilation and accessibility, adapting the kitchen and demolishing Building J; the Liberals entered a formal reservation, calling for an assessment of whether Building J could be retained for smaller classes.

The interpellation concerns the future of the Hovet ice hockey arena and Djurgården Hockey’s planned sports facility in Tallkrogen. Jan Valeskog responds that the city will investigate the possibility of retaining an ice arena in the Globen area in the future, while Tallkrogen is still considered well suited for sports; which sports facilities will be built there will be decided once the plans for the Globen area are clearer.

The interpellation notes that Svedmyrabadet has been closed since autumn 2024, with no decision on renovation or timetable for reopening. This particularly affects older people and those who need warm, accessible pools. Jan Valeskog responds that an investigation will be presented during the first half of 2026, and that visitors are being referred to Sandsborgsbadet, where the water is approximately 30 degrees and some adaptations have been made. Sandsborgsbadet also needs renovation and will then need to be evacuated, but how replacement facilities should be arranged will be investigated.

The interpellation asks why the city is not resuming the investigation into building over Nynäsvägen, where up to 76,000 vehicles pass daily through Gamla Enskede and Johanneshov. Traffic Mayor Lars Strömgren replies that several scenarios were already costed between 2020 and 2025, but none were financially viable, and that the city is instead investing in walking, cycling and public transport to reduce car traffic, noise and emissions.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes a model to protect existing nightclubs, live music venues, and other cultural and entertainment businesses when new housing is built nearby, including in the Slakthusområdet area. The proposal would make developers responsible for noise protection and sound insulation and prevent new residents from complaining about disturbances, but city officials assess that the Environmental Code does not allow the right to complain about harmful disturbances to be waived by agreement; the City Executive Board therefore proposes that the motion be answered with reference to the statement.

The motion proposes developing Högdalstopparna into an open and more accessible outdoor and recreational area, with features such as activity areas, cycling trails, and better opportunities for adapted sports. It also proposes investigating public transport to the area, but the City Executive Board recommends that the motion be considered answered, since detailed planning is already underway and the area is about 800 metres from Högdalen metro station and close to bus routes.

The City Council will consider a proposal to investigate a 2–3-kilometre multi-use track for skiing in winter and, for example, roller skiing, cycling and parasports in summer. The track is proposed to be traffic-free, lit, relatively flat and close to public transport, with possible locations at Högdalstopparna, Sjöängens BP or another suitable site; the Sports Administration also believes Ågesta outdoor recreation area should be examined, while Sjöängens BP is considered less suitable. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city is already discussing the needs, location and financing, but no decision to build the track is proposed.

A motion proposes that the city investigate how Söderort can gain more workplaces and become more attractive to businesses, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit organizations. The City Executive Office considers the issue already covered by the city’s ongoing and planned work, including an assignment in the 2026 budget; areas such as Älvsjödalen, Liljeholmen, Telefonplan, Årstaberg, and Söderstaden are mentioned as possible locations for new workplaces.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes transforming Johanneshovsvägen from a four-lane road into a narrower, greener boulevard with lower speed limits, wider pedestrian and cycle paths, and space for shops, restaurants and meeting places. The proposal also includes planning for around 1,045 new homes, including student housing, and a new square by the Linde light-rail station. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as similar development is already part of the ongoing Årstastråket project.

A motion by Dennis Wedin (M) proposes that Stockholm Globe Arena Fastigheter AB, together with Hammarby, Djurgården and other stakeholders, introduce new security solutions against pyrotechnics and other disturbances at football stadiums. The aim is to make matches safer and prevent well-behaved supporters from having matches interrupted, while preserving the vibrant supporter culture. The City Executive Office considers that technology can help, but emphasizes that lasting change also requires cooperation and a change in stadium culture; the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered.
