Agenda items
The City District Committee of Farsta and the Social Welfare Committee plan to lease 13 new service apartments in the Klockelund 2 area of Farsta. These apartments, intended for individuals with disabilities requiring round-the-clock support, are expected to be ready by spring 2026. Farsta's City District Committee is also requesting 0.5 million SEK in start-up funding for the project, which will incur an estimated annual rent of 2.2 million SEK.
The Stockholm Property Committee will purchase 14 cooperative apartments in the Brf Bruket area of Farsta for approximately 45.3 million SEK. These homes will serve as supported living residences for individuals with disabilities, allowing the Farsta City District Council to rent them and address the current lack of such options in the area.
Stockholm City Council plans to approve the construction of 156 new rental apartments and three commercial premises in the Bjurö 3 block in Farsta strand, a project led by Familjebostäder. Estimated to cost 712 million SEK, construction is set to begin in 2026 and conclude in 2030. The Moderates and Christian Democrats object due to concerns about rising costs potentially leading to high rents, while the Sweden Democrats oppose more rental units in Farsta strand, citing social issues.
Stockholm City Council is set to approve Familjebostäder's plan to build 156 new rental apartments and three commercial premises in Farsta strand, a project named Bjurö 3, costing 712 million SEK with construction starting in 2026 and completion by 2030. While the majority supports this to alleviate the housing shortage and foster growth, the Moderates, Liberals, Christian Democrats, and Sweden Democrats oppose it, citing doubled costs, potential high rents, increased company debt, and the need for more diverse housing options in Farsta strand.
Fagersjöskolan in Farsta will receive new water, sewage, and heating pipes, as well as electrical work for lighting, due to the age of the current systems. Additionally, ventilation in classrooms, the cafeteria, and the gym will be improved to accommodate more people and meet current standards. The project is estimated to cost 80.4 million SEK and will be carried out between October 2027 and October 2030, requiring the school to be evacuated for part of the construction period.
Farsta's Pensioner Council addressed several key issues for the district's elderly, including the need for security hosts, improved snow removal, and fraud prevention, alongside the upcoming distribution of ice cleats to reduce fall risks. They also learned about a new elderly guide for health promotion and the introduction of the "Lifestyle for Brain Health" program to enhance senior well-being.
The Farsta City District Committee is considering an agreement with Region Stockholm to improve the transition of patients from hospitals to home care or residences. This involves the IT system Lifecare SP, aimed at making these transitions safer and quicker. Farsta City District Administration supports the agreement, which also stipulates that the Region will cover 81% and municipalities 19% of the system's operation and management costs from 2026-2030.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes Stockholm develop a strategy for privately-owned public spaces (POPS), such as squares and green areas, to ensure their accessibility and upkeep. The idea is for the city to offer increased building rights to property owners in exchange for creating and maintaining high-quality public spaces. The Farsta City District Administration agrees on the importance of safe and vibrant public environments, emphasizing that clear rules for responsibility are crucial to prevent neglected maintenance, as residents expect good quality regardless of ownership.
The Liberals proposed Stockholm investigate a model, similar to Uppsala's "UppSam," to improve school support for children in foster care. However, the Farsta City District Administration deemed such an investigation unnecessary, as Farsta already employs school coordinators with similar methods, and this support model is slated for city-wide implementation by 2026.
The Farsta District Council plans to procure new security hosts as the current agreement expires in November 2026. An internal evaluation showed these hosts are a valuable mobile resource that increases safety and contributes to crime prevention through patrols, reporting deficiencies, and more. This service, costing SEK 1.2 million annually and co-financed by Familjebostäder and Stockholmshem, will thus continue to be available to Farsta residents.
A citizen in Farsta proposed that the district council should combat violent extremism after Nazi propaganda and graffiti, including from the Northern Resistance Movement (NMR), appeared in public spaces in Farsta and at Martinskolan in Hökarängen. The citizen seeks measures such as prompt cleanup, police reports, improved cooperation, and training. The Farsta district administration has decided to accept the proposal for further investigation and preparation.
A citizen proposal has been submitted to the Farsta District Council requesting an outdoor gym with a child-friendly section at Sunneplan. The aim is to increase opportunities for free physical activity for everyone in the area, improve public health, and create a safer park environment. The administration has decided to accept the proposal for further investigation and preparation.
A citizen proposal suggests dividing the southern part of Olympiaplan in Farsta, dedicating half to meadow and restoring the other half to lawn. This aims to both preserve biodiversity and create better spaces for children's play, dog walking, and social activities. Farsta City District Administration has decided to investigate the proposal further.
A 10-year-old citizen proposed improvements to Flygplansparken (also known as Nybygget) in Gubbängen, suggesting additions like an obstacle course or climbing wall to make the park more enjoyable for their age group. The Farsta City District Administration decided to forward the proposal to the department for further investigation.
A citizen has proposed converting the worn-out and unused football pitch at Rottnerosbacken in Farsta into a dog park, citing a need for an off-leash area. The Farsta City District Administration has decided to forward this citizen proposal to the relevant administration for further preparation.
Farsta City District Committee has decided to amend its delegation of authority. This means that unit managers within elder care and individual and family care in Farsta now have the authority to sign contracts for the subletting of apartments. This change facilitates the administration of various housing arrangements for residents needing social services support.
Farsta City District Board has decided that five elected members will be authorized to make rapid decisions in 2026. This allows for swift handling of urgent matters concerning immediate care for children and youth, placement in protective housing, or substance abuse treatment, ensuring critical protective measures for residents can be implemented without delay.
The Farsta District Council is to appoint new members to its Social Delegation for 2026. This delegation makes decisions concerning individual residents of Farsta, for example regarding social support and financial matters, and also prepares more significant social issues for the council's decision.
