Agenda items
The Farsta District Administration proposes that the office’s statement on the inquiry’s proposals for a more equitable preschool that supports language development be noted. The administration broadly supports better quality guidance, rules for group sizes and staffing, and 25 hours of free general preschool per week, but says municipalities need long-term funding. It has reservations about mandatory language assessments for all three-year-olds without further analysis and opposes introducing mandatory language preschool for some children.
The City of Stockholm proposes shared guidelines for how preschools should identify, document and follow up on children who need special support, so that children receive more consistent support regardless of their preschool or neighbourhood. Farsta District Administration supports the proposal but wants clearer guidance on which support measures may qualify for additional resources, how action plans should be registered, and how responsibility should be divided between the city, the region and external organisations.
The City of Stockholm’s proposed programme aims to improve swimming skills and water safety, so that all pupils meet the school’s swimming requirements and the number of near-drownings decreases. Farsta District Administration welcomes the programme and wants Farsta to receive water stewards in summer 2027, ideally based at Mötesplats Fagersjö. It also wants the city to follow the emergency services’ recommendations on risks at bathing areas, reporting incidents, and providing information to children and young people.
A new action plan with 25 measures aims to help Stockholm cope with more heavy downpours, heatwaves, droughts and other climate impacts. Farsta District Administration supports the plan but wants more support and clearer coordination, including on water kiosks, assistance for vulnerable groups and how climate measures will be funded.
A citizen proposal calls for a cultural camp in Farsta where children can try activities such as art, dance, music and theatre with Kulturskolan and local associations. The Farsta District Administration recommends approving the proposal and helping to organise a free Kulturkollo in summer 2027, planned separately from Farsta Sportcamp.
A resident proposes clearing reeds and other vegetation by Lake Magelungen in Fagersjö to make it easier for more people to swim, including near Skrattmåsvägen and Alfågelsgränd. Farsta District Administration proposes referring the suggestion to the administration for review, while taking into account the importance of the vegetation for biodiversity.
A citizen proposal to introduce a flag system at Stockholm’s beaches will be referred to the Farsta District Administration for review. The proposal has not yet been assessed on its merits.
A child proposes that Semlan park playground in Farsta get a fenced multi-purpose pitch with artificial turf and markings, similar to the one in Eklunds hage. The proposal says the current football goals are broken and that sand, tree roots and a tree make it difficult to play; the district council will consider the citizen proposal.
A citizen proposal calls for a splash pool in Gubbängen, for example in Båtparken or Flygplansparken, to give the area’s many young children a place to swim and ease the pressure on the splash pool in Hökarängen. The proposal also notes that a splash pool in Båtparken could help reduce drug dealing near the barbecue area; the Farsta District Administration recommends referring the proposal for further consideration.
A resident’s proposal suggests turning the BMX track at Dalbobranten in Sköndal into a dog park, as the proposer feels the track is rarely used and the area lacks a dog park. The Farsta District Administration proposes referring the proposal for further consideration so it can be investigated further.
A citizen proposal calls for adding a pull-up bar to the outdoor gym south of Hökarängen metro station, as the gym currently lacks one. The Farsta District Administration proposes that the proposal be referred to the administration for review.
A resident proposes a smooth, 1–1.5-metre-wide walking path across the cobblestone square outside Centrumkyrkan in Farsta, making it easier for people using walkers or experiencing pain to reach the town centre. The Farsta District Administration proposes that the citizen’s proposal be referred to the administration for review.
Micasa Fastigheter proposes investigating a new group home under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) at Vätö 16 in Farsta strand. The home is planned to have six apartments, shared areas and staff facilities; the investigation is expected to cost about SEK 3 million, and the building could be completed in 2032 if planning proceeds.
AB Familjebostäder proposes that the board approve a progress report on the company’s housing construction. The report shows that no construction starts are planned for 2026, while 166 apartments are being built at Oldmästaren in Nockebyhov and Karlsö/Skällö in Farsta; the first apartments at Oldmästaren are expected to be ready for occupancy in autumn 2026. The company is seeking land for future housing and has not yet received decisions on applications covering 3,745 apartments.
The Property Management Department proposes that the Property Committee approve the final report on the new park activity building in Fagerlidsparken. The building replaces a worn-out facility and provides space for park activities, open preschool and youth activities; it was completed in June 2026 and inaugurated in August. The project cost SEK 14.4 million, compared with a budget of SEK 15 million.
The Real Estate Administration proposes continuing planning to convert the former relaxation area at Högdalen swimming and sports centre into a larger, connected gym space, including a toilet, water station and storage. The space would have stairs and a lift connecting the floors, and the project is expected to be completed in 2028 if it proceeds.
Stockholm Parkering presents a forecast for 2026 and financial results through August. The company is expected to report earnings before tax and appropriations of SEK 160 million, SEK 60 million above budget, with investments of SEK 300 million, including in parking garages and charging infrastructure; the Farsta Strand project has been put on hold because demand for parking purchases has fallen. The board is proposed to approve the reports and have the CEO submit them to Stockholm Stadshus AB.
The Nykroppagatan project in Farsta proposes transforming the street into a greener urban street with more space for pedestrians and cyclists, while building around 220 homes. The revised decision takes into account that the project has been delayed by about four years following an appeal and that costs have risen from SEK 121.4 million to SEK 236.9 million; the City Council will also consider the investment.
The Sports Administration proposes that the Sports Committee approve the response to questions from the Liberals, Centre Party and Moderates about Stockholm BMX Arena. The administration states that regular activities can continue, but that an ongoing detailed development plan for Högdalstopparna could provide more land for sports and better opportunities to host competitions with temporary toilets, medical services and team tents; larger competitions will also continue to require permits for public spaces.
