Hägersten-Älvsjö

The City of Stockholm plans to adopt a new food program to ensure good, healthy, and climate-smart food for both residents and those working in city operations. The program will focus on sustainable meals within the city's own services (like schools and elderly care) and "Food City Stockholm," which aims to help everyone in the city make sustainable food choices. The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council has responded positively but suggests clearer guidelines for local produce and more support for professional development.

The Moderates in Hägersten-Älvsjö questioned why elderly care in the district has shown large surpluses for several years and if these funds could be used to improve quality. The administration explained the surpluses are due to fewer elderly needing services than projected and more efficient working methods, adding that while funds cannot be directly transferred due to city budget principles, they are positive about future quality improvements if the budget is adjusted to the growing number of elderly.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council has authorized 41 social workers at the Social Emergency Services to request police assistance in specific situations. This applies to cases such as compulsory care for substance abusers (LVM), taking young people into care (LVU), and implementing decisions to place children in sheltered housing. The decision enables these officials to call upon police support when necessary to protect individuals and carry out crucial interventions.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council has appointed specific managers and team leaders within child, youth, and family services. These individuals are authorized to request police assistance to enforce decisions regarding compulsory care of young people (LVU) or the placement of children in sheltered housing. This ensures quick enforcement when needed, for instance, if parents or children are uncooperative, or if a child goes missing.

The City of Stockholm plans to establish twelve new service apartments for individuals with disabilities in the Fader Bergström block in Hägersten, expected to be completed by 2028.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council has approved a 9.7 million SEK renovation of the wading pool at Lugnet playground in Västertorp. The current pool fails water quality standards due to runoff from a rockface, so it will be rebuilt with a new terrazzo bottom and relocated away from the rock, aiming for completion by the 2026 bathing season.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council has approved a 12-million-kronor renovation of Långbroparken playground, also known as Äventyrsparken, in Långbro.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council is distributing just over SEK 1.4 million in operating grants to local associations for 2026. A total of 27 associations will receive funding to strengthen cultural and associational life in the district and offer residents activities. Among those receiving the largest grants are Midsommargården (SEK 150,000), Eolshälls 4H-gård (SEK 130,000), and Vintervikens Trädgård ideell förening (SEK 100,000). Two associations, Sannadals sportklubb and OK Älvsjö Örby, will not receive operating grants but are instead referred to the Sports Committee and event support, respectively.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council has approved its activity report and financial statements for 2025, forwarding them to the City Executive Board and the city auditors. The council reports a surplus of 65.2 million SEK and believes most of the City Council's goals for the year were met, either fully or partially. They request that 74.8 million SEK from the surplus be carried over to 2026.

A citizen has suggested measures to improve safety at Enbacksparken in Hägersten, noting that cars and mopeds frequently drive onto a pedestrian path near a preschool, playground, and schoolyard.

The City Executive Board's Economy and Security Committee has approved the Hägersten-Älvsjö City District Council's application to lease a new premise in Fruängen, at Ellen Keys gata 48, for a "Fritidsbank." This facility will allow residents, especially children and young people, to borrow sports and leisure equipment like skis, skates, and football boots for free. The annual rent will be SEK 1.5 million under a five-year agreement, with the Fritidsbank expected to open in spring 2026.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) propose that the City of Stockholm investigates its involvement in the operations of the former boys' home Eolshäll, where boys were subjected to abuse between the 1970s and 1990s. They also suggest the city explores financial compensation for the victims, inspired by Norway's 'rettferdsvederlag' model. The City Executive Board and most referral bodies deem such an investigation too complex for the city alone, recommending a national inquiry instead, while the Moderates and Liberals, in reservations, criticize the majority's stance, arguing the city has both the capability and responsibility to act.

A motion by SD politicians seeks to halt plans for approximately 140 new homes in Klubbensborgsbacken, Mälarhöjden, arguing the proposed development would ruin the area's character, natural values, and access to green spaces. The City Executive Board responded by highlighting the housing shortage and affirming that the project is following a democratic process where all viewpoints will be considered before the City Planning Committee makes a final decision.

Two Sweden Democrats politicians submitted a motion to halt plans for new housing in Långbro Park, Älvsjö, specifically on the Lågbron 1 property, arguing that the proposed construction would damage important park features and that existing café operations and gardens should be preserved. The City Executive Board responded that while the detailed plan for housing has already been cancelled, planning will continue to focus on establishing a public activity, such as a café, at the site.

The Real Estate Committee intends to purchase 13 new cooperative apartments in Brf Cristina, located in Hägersten-Älvsjö, for approximately SEK 45 million.

The district council will then lease these apartments for around SEK 1.9 million annually.

The Group Board has approved plans to build 76 new rental apartments in Solberga, costing SEK 305 million, and to renovate a boiler plant in the same area. They have also approved two new housing development projects: one with Familjebostäder in Farsta strand for SEK 712 million and another with Svenska Bostäder on Lilla Essingen for SEK 457 million. However, the opposition has raised objections, expressing concern about rising costs and debt, and arguing that priorities should be placed on existing properties and mixed forms of tenure.

The City Planning Office has developed a draft detailed development plan for the properties Rosteriet 6 and 8 in Liljeholmen. The plan proposes adding two to three floors to existing office buildings and constructing new six- to seven-story volumes in the center of the block. The aim is to create more office spaces and enhance the urban environment with new entrances, public functions, and green spaces. The draft plan will be open for consultation from February 10 to March 23, 2026, with a meeting held on March 3 for those wishing to provide feedback.

The City Planning Administration has developed a proposal for a detailed development plan for Fruängen's center.

Consultations will be held from January 27 to March 9, 2026, with information meetings on February 3 and February 9 at Fruängsplan, and a consultation meeting on February 11 at Kunskapsskolan.

Dennis Wedin (M) has proposed that the Exploitation Committee find a long-term solution for Örnsbergs Kanotsällskap, including a new consolidated location for their clubhouse, as the society lost their Gröndal clubhouse in 2018 due to housing construction and currently has a demolition contract on Reimersholme. While the city believes it is already actively working on the issue and no further mandate is needed, the opposition argues the work has been prolonged and costly for the city, with promises of a new SEK 6 million clubhouse remaining unfulfilled.

Johan Nilsson (M) motioned for the City of Stockholm to acquire or exchange land to preserve Långbro Park, as a private owner plans to build 12 townhouses and a café on a historically park-integrated property. The City Executive Board, however, believes the detailed planning for the townhouses should proceed and public consultation be held before any decision. While relevant committees deemed the development feasible and Stadshus AB supported housing, they noted that land acquisition was outside their current scope.
