Farsta

The Farsta District Council proposes approving the budget document for 2027, with a focus on 2028 and 2029, and submitting it to the City Executive Board. This document outlines the council's strategic priorities and needs for the coming years, particularly addressing population growth in Farsta, especially among the elderly, and socioeconomic challenges in areas like Hökarängen, Farsta strand, and Fagersjö. Climate investments are also proposed, including charging stations for electric cars, e-bikes for elderly care, and climate adaptation measures like stormwater management and awnings for care homes.

The Moderates in Farsta inquired with the district administration about ensuring associations receiving city support meet democratic conditions, citing examples like Ibn Rushd and Konsthall C. The administration proposes the committee approve their response, detailing how they review associations' statutes, annual reports, and activity reports. The administration believes the current democratic conditions are effective and sees no need for revision.

The Farsta District Council will address a letter from theigesdemokraterna (SD) regarding association grants to Konsthall C. SD questions these grants due to Konsthall C's support for the BDS campaign (boycott, divestment, and sanctions against Israel), arguing this violates the city's democratic conditions. The administration proposes the council approve their response, which asserts that Konsthall C does not breach the democratic conditions, as they have confirmed everyone is welcome regardless of cultural identity, belief, or nationality. Konsthall C receives association grants for initiatives including Hökarängens dag and a values-based public partnership (IOP) for art in preschools.

A citizen proposal was submitted to the Farsta District Council regarding Nazi propaganda and xenophobic messages, specifically graffiti and stickers, found in Farsta and at Martinskolan in Hökarängen. The proposal calls for immediate cleanup, police reports, enhanced cooperation, public information on reporting incidents, support for victims, and educational initiatives. The administration will respond by stating they already adhere to city guidelines for combating violent extremism through prompt removal of graffiti, collaboration with police and civil society, and the availability of support and training.

A citizen proposed that the Farsta District Council develop a plan to restore trees in Sköndal, as many have been lost to construction. However, the administration believes a specific plan for Sköndal is unnecessary since responsibility for trees is shared among several parties and replanting efforts are ongoing yearly according to city-wide tree goals. The Council will respond with the administration's statement.

A citizen proposed converting the football pitch at Rottnerosbacken into a dog park, arguing it was underutilized. However, the Farsta District Administration suggests rejecting the proposal because several residents have contacted them, stating the pitch is indeed used and they do not want a dog park there.

The Farsta District Council will consider two citizen proposals to create an ice rink in Tallkrogen. The proposals suggest converting a football field at Olympiaparken/Lekplatsen Olympiavägen 9 into a skating rink to improve access to ice skating for children and residents. The administration recommends referring the proposals to them for further preparation.

The Sports Committee is set to review a proposal to grant Farsta Tennis Club 1,064,000 SEK over eight years. This support aims to help the club adjust its finances after its annual lease fee for land in Gubbängen increased significantly from 500 SEK to 379,876 SEK, and is contingent on the club maintaining a primary focus on children and youth activities.

The Liberals proposed designating Fagersjöskogen as a nature reserve to protect its unique natural values, wildlife, and secure a vital green space for South Stockholm residents. The city responded that work to investigate the conditions for a nature reserve in Fagersjöskogen is already underway as part of previous budget decisions.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that the City Executive Board assume coordinated responsibility for developing Fagersjöviken in Magelungen into an attractive area for water recreation, such as swimming, paddling, and fishing, citing its deterioration due to overgrowth and unclear responsibilities. The City Executive Board responded that the city is already working collaboratively to improve water quality, biodiversity, and recreational opportunities in Magelungen, with Fagersjöviken being prioritized within the "Focus Farsta" initiative.

The City of Stockholm plans to sell part of the Farsta 2:1 property to AB Borätt for the construction of 137 tenant-owner apartments in three high-rises along Lingvägen, bordering Farsta and Hökarängen. This project, named Samsö, also allows for the expansion of Kvickentorpsskolan and a new preschool, along with a new street and improved pedestrian and bicycle path. The Sweden Democrats formally object to the decision, proposing instead that the area be used for a football field.

Stockholm Water AB's board has been informed of two referral responses. One concerns the Masmo Tunnel and permits for water activities, while the other relates to new sewer lines within the Bornsjö water protection area. The board approved the receipt of these.

The Stockholm City Executive Board has approved the implementation of a project at Lingvägen in Farsta/Hökarängen, which will see the construction of 137 new tenant-owned apartments in three point blocks. This project also paves the way for a future expansion of Kvickentorpsskolan and a new preschool, alongside improved pedestrian and cycling paths between the districts. The Sweden Democrats reserved their position, proposing the area be used for a football pitch instead.

Farsta Pensioners' Council discussed key issues for the elderly in the district, including an update on "Lifestyle for Brain Health" groups in Farsta and Skarpnäck aimed at dementia prevention. The council criticized insufficient snow removal in Farsta this past winter, which hampered accessibility, and welcomed expanded background checks for home care staff.

The Farsta District Council has received a report detailing unexecuted decisions under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) for the last quarter of 2025. The report shows 21 LSS and 49 SoL decisions were not implemented, primarily due to residents declining offers, but also a lack of housing, places in daytime activities, and special housing.

The City of Stockholm is launching a new digital map for public order regulations to make them clearer and more accessible. Key changes include making it mandatory to pick up dog waste across the entire city, not just the inner city, and adjusting areas with alcohol bans, such as expanding the ban at Farsta Centrum and Observatorielunden to enhance safety. Additionally, several dog exercise areas will be modified in various city districts.

The City of Stockholm has developed an action plan for children's rights and influence up to 2030, aiming for equal living conditions for all children and combating discrimination across areas like school, leisure, and societal participation. Farsta City District Administration supports the plan but requests more resources for implementation, a clearer child perspective in urban planning, and digital leisure activities.

The Farsta District Council has issued a positive statement regarding a new functional program for Stockholm's preschool premises. This program aims to ensure that all preschools, during new construction and renovations, receive equivalent, safe, and fit-for-purpose indoor and outdoor environments. This will provide all preschool children with access to a high-quality, secure, and flexible learning environment, while also improving the working conditions for staff.

Farsta District Council approved its financial report for February 2026, which anticipates a balanced overall budget for the year after internal adjustments. However, individual and family care (driven by costly placements for children and youth) and elder care (due to increased needs and lost income from closed Postiljonen nursing home apartments) face deficits. These are offset by surpluses in preschool, urban environment, and disability services.

The Farsta City District Council has allocated a total of 1,920,000 SEK in grants to 50 local associations in Farsta for 2026. These funds will support general association activities, holiday programs, celebrations and events, and environmental and climate work. A significant portion, 42 percent, of the funds is earmarked for activities targeting children and youth.
