Enskede-Årsta-Vantör

Micasa Fastigheter i Stockholm AB has approved its 2025 annual report. While the company is actively developing 23 care homes and 1,500 senior apartments by 2040, including recent completions and a new care home in Årsta, it faces a strained financial situation. With expected negative results in the coming years, the company anticipates difficulties in delivering planned projects at the pace required by the city.

A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that the City Executive Board take coordinated responsibility for developing Fagersjöviken in Magelungen into an attractive area for water recreation, including measures to improve swimming, paddling, and fishing. However, the City Executive Board, led by Karin Wanngård, believes the city is already addressing this through existing programs and collaborations, balancing recreational opportunities with biodiversity protection. Some opposition parties dissented, arguing for clearer leadership and specific actions for Fagersjöviken beyond general initiatives for Magelungen.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed redeveloping Johanneshovsvägen into a green boulevard with fewer lanes, wider pedestrian and bicycle paths, and approximately 1045 new homes, aiming to create new meeting places and a greener urban environment. The City Executive Board believes these proposals are already covered by the ongoing Årstastråket project and thus no new mandates are needed, a stance the Center Party disputes, arguing their motion extends beyond the current project.

Councilman Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the City of Stockholm, as arena owner, install new security solutions at Tele2 Arena for the2025 football season, following disruptions and match suspensions, particularly due to pyrotechnics, during the 2024 season. The City Executive Board deemed the motion addressed, citing ongoing strategic work with multiple stakeholders to enhance safety, though noting current technology can't prevent pyrotechnics or drugs; Moderate and Liberal parties dissented, advocating for direct city engagement with clubs to find solutions.

Emelie Wassermann (SD) has questioned City Planning and Sports Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) regarding the situation for visitors to Svedmyrabadet, which has been closed since September 2024 with no decision on its future and no suitable alternative pools offered despite promises. This particularly impacts the elderly and disabled who rely on the warm pools, and now Sandsborgsbadet is also threatened with closure for renovation.

Dennis Wedin (M) questioned Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) on why the investigation into building a roof over Nynäsvägen was halted. Wedin highlights that up to 76,000 vehicles pass daily through Gamla Enskede and Johanneshov, causing noise and air pollution. He also inquired about plans to streamline traffic in southern Stockholm to alleviate Nynäsvägen's impact on residents, especially given public transport cuts.

The Education Committee will no longer build a new primary school in the Slakthusområdet in Johanneshov. This is because the city's population forecast shows a decrease in school-aged children, and there will be sufficient school places in the area until 2034. The 2021 decision to build the school has therefore been withdrawn, though it's not ruled out that a school might be needed after 2045, and a school at Årstafältet could be built sooner.

The City of Stockholm is preparing a new action plan to become a more age-friendly city, aiming to ensure older residents can live active, safe, and participatory lives free from ageism, focusing on areas like housing, urban environment, and social community according to the WHO model. Enskede-Årsta-Vantör's Senior Citizen Council welcomes this ambition but calls for more concrete proposals on how to achieve these goals and a clearer focus on the diversity of older people.

The Liberals propose a "District Boost" to expand the city's anti-crime and insecurity efforts beyond Järva to other vulnerable areas like Hagsätra and Skärholmen, requesting a clear action plan. The District Administration agrees on the need for broader initiatives but believes the city already focuses on similar areas in southern Stockholm, suggesting that existing structures be further developed rather than introducing a new parallel system.

The City of Stockholm has developed a new food program, "Good food for health, climate, and environment," to guide more sustainable meals in preschools, schools, and elder care. This program sets ambitious goals, including increasing organic food, reducing climate impact from food by 40% by 2030, and minimizing food waste. While the Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration welcomes the program, they suggest improvements such as a wider range of organic products in procurement, clearer guidelines for food waste and local produce, and reviewed routines to ensure safe meals for children with allergies.

The City of Stockholm is adopting a local action program to improve the poor water quality in Strömmen, which is currently polluted by metals and chemicals, among other things. The program proposes measures such as cleaning contaminated bottoms, purifying stormwater from roads and the city, and improving habitats for animals and plants, aiming to meet EU environmental water standards and ensure a healthy aquatic environment for residents, which will also facilitate future housing development in the city.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district council plans to open a "Fritidsbanken" in Högdalen by September 2026, where residents can borrow sports and outdoor equipment for free. They have approved leasing a premises at Skebokvarnsvägen 370 for 0.7 million SEK annually, and to facilitate a swift start, renovations up to 1.5 million SEK are authorized to begin immediately, even before the final lease agreement is complete.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör City District Committee plans to procure services for winter road maintenance and certain park upkeep, such as grass cutting in public areas and roadside maintenance. This procurement will be done in collaboration with the Farsta, Skarpnäck, and Skärholmen City District Administrations. This means that snow removal and some park maintenance tasks will continue to be handled by external contractors, even as the district takes over the majority of park maintenance in-house from 2026.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council decided to permanently move Sturebacken's LSS group home from Tussmötevägen 120D to Tussmötevägen 173 in Stureby by March 2026. This move is necessary due to resident disturbances at the current address, which led to legal action. The six residents, who have acquired brain injuries, will benefit from new, adapted premises and a lower monthly rent of approximately SEK 6,000-7,000.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council reviewed its 2025 operations and finances, largely meeting its targets. They approved an activity report detailing new safety investments in Enskede and Hagsätra, and a new day activity center at Bersågränd 9 with an annual rent of 3.8 million SEK. The Council also decided against renewing a park investment contract due to an entrepreneur's (Spectra Sverige AB) unreasonabily high pricing.

The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör District Council needs to elect a new vice-chair and a substitute for its social delegation because the previous vice-chair, Nadin Fakhro (L), has resigned. This delegation makes decisions concerning residents' personal or financial circumstances, such as care for young people or substance abusers, and placing children in sheltered housing.

Politicians from the Moderate Party, Centre Party, and Liberal Party have requested a report on the costs and timeline for the new administrative building in Rågsved, whose occupancy has been delayed until autumn 2028. They expressed concern over rising costs and the need for financial discipline in the project. The district administration responded that despite the delay, they have control over costs and that the future rent for the new building is considered competitive compared to the market.

A citizen proposed establishing a second-hand exchange station in Rågsved, for example at Rågsved centrum, where residents could swap used items like clothes. The district administration views the proposal positively, as it benefits both the climate and community, but believes a suitable location and storage solutions need closer investigation to ensure the station can be kept clean and safe.

Children from Paletten preschool in Hagsätra suggested installing a trash can by the forest next to the preschool due to a lot of dog waste and litter. The Enskede-Årsta-Vantör district administration welcomes the proposal and recommends placing a new trash can at the suggested location to improve the local environment.

Stockholm's Cemetery Administration reports that the environmental remediation of hazardous substances at the Woodland Crematorium in the Woodland Cemetery is almost complete, with construction ongoing both indoors and outdoors despite the snow. It was discovered that the facade stone on the Monument Hall's pillars needs replacing, which will impact the timeline for that specific part of the project. The total project budget remains at 292 million SEK.
