Hägersten-Älvsjö

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council approved the administration’s response to a citizen proposal for a park bench along the footpath by Östra Mässkopplet in Älvsjö. The administration will install a bench along the roughly 600-metre stretch between Älvsjö centre and Willys, giving pedestrians, especially older people, a place to rest.

The administration reported that 37 decisions on support under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) had not been implemented within three months during the second quarter of 2026. A further 11 decisions had been closed without being implemented, while 15 had been implemented; the committee noted the report.

The Archives Committee proposed that the Culture Committee approve the City Archives’ second four-month report for 2026 and forward it to the City Executive Board. The Committee also decided to report budget changes of SEK 0.8 million; the matter was to be adjusted immediately.

The City Executive Board approved the notification of Stockholm City’s response to the Swedish Transport Administration, in which the city raised no objections to the land exchange in Älvsjö. The exchange will enable construction of a metro depot for the new line between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö; no vote or dissenting opinion was reported.

The City Executive Board approved the report on the city’s response to the Swedish Transport Administration’s consultation about removing tracks and switches at the Älvsjö interchange. The city had no objections, as the changes are needed to build a depot for the planned metro line between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö.

The motion proposes resuming planning for Södertäljevägen and transforming the roadway into a green urban street that better connects Liljeholmen, Årstadal and Marievik. The proposal could provide up to 7,700 homes, including by decking over Södertäljevägen, Essingeleden and a bus depot, while the City Executive Office recommends that the motion be considered answered, as such solutions are deemed technically difficult and very costly; instead, the existing programme for approximately 1,750 homes should form the basis for future planning.

The motion authors Gabriel Kroon, Mats Johnsson and Tapani Juntunen (Sweden Democrats) propose halting the planning and detailed development plan for up to 140 homes at Klubbensborgsbacken in Mälarhöjden. They argue that the construction could affect woodland, Brådstupsparken, stormwater management, natural values and the character of the area; the city administrations instead propose continuing the planning process under the usual rules, first compiling and considering views received during the consultation.

The City Council will consider a motion from Gabriel Kroon and Mats Johnsson (Sweden Democrats) to halt housing planning on the privately owned Lågbron 1 property in Långbroparken. The proposed detailed development plan includes 12 terraced houses and a new café building, while the motion’s authors want to preserve the existing house, greenhouse, and garden; the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered by referring to the ongoing planning process.

The motion proposes that the City of Stockholm conduct its own investigation into its responsibility for the Eolshäll boys’ home, where many boys were abused during the 1970s–1990s, and examine financial compensation and other support for those still living. Instead, the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered by referring to previous investigations, as the City Executive Office and the Social Affairs Committee believe that responsibility and compensation should be investigated nationally by the state.

The City Council will consider a motion to find a long-term sustainable location for Örnsberg Canoe Club’s activities and a shared clubhouse. The clubhouse in Gröndal was demolished in 2018, and operations at Reimersholme are conducted under a demolition contract; the city is investigating, among other things, more efficient sports facilities and a possible floating facility, while the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered since work is already under way.

The motion proposes that the City of Stockholm purchase or exchange for the privately owned property Lågbron 1 in Långbro park, so the area can become part of the park and its natural and cultural values can be preserved. Around twelve terraced houses and a café are planned on the property; city officials assess that the homes and café can be built, while the City Executive Board proposes responding to the motion by referring to the ongoing detailed development planning process.

The City Council is proposed to adopt a detailed development plan for the area around the Stubinen block in Liljeholmen. The plan enables approximately 67,000 square metres of retail and other centre-related services, offices, healthcare, a hotel and a preschool, mainly by covering over the metro tracks; the area would also receive a new indoor passage linking Liljeholmstorget, Trekantsparken and Nybohovsbacken. The proposal includes no new housing, and comments concerning tall buildings, shadowing, safety and construction disruptions have been received, but are not considered grounds for fundamentally changing the plan.

The City Council will consider a revised implementation decision for Herbariet in Liljeholmen, where an elementary school for approximately 1,000 pupils and three sports halls have already been completed. The city is proposed to continue work on, among other things, an entrance plaza, a local street, and natural areas, with total project expenditure of SEK 71.1 million and completion of the plaza planned for 2027; costs have increased due to factors including phasing, soil contamination, more expensive water and sewage connections, and higher construction costs.

The board approved the plan to build new accommodation under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) at the Stänkskärmen 26 property. The CEO was tasked with preparing documentation for an implementation decision if the Social Services Administration orders the accommodation; no final decision was made to begin construction.

The City Council proposes to adopt a detailed development plan for properties including Liljeholmen 1:1, located at the Stubinen block in Liljeholmen. The plan aims to strengthen Liljeholmen's center as a regional hub by adding more offices, daycare, preschools, and commercial activities, partly by building over the subway tracks. It will also connect Trekantsparken, Liljeholmstorget, and Nybohovsbacken to foster a more vibrant urban environment.

The District Director for Hägersten-Älvsjö reported on successful summer activities with high participation and a record number of summer job applications from young people. Upcoming events include the Solberga Festival, the 10-year anniversary of Älvsjöskogen, and an activity afternoon with Fritidsbanken in Fruängen; associations were also encouraged to apply for activity grants and residents were reminded about advance voting for the 2026 election.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council reviewed various received reports and registered cases, deciding to file the information. These reports covered topics such as the social services report for 2025, Lex Sarah follow-ups, the annual report on personal advocates, efforts against incorrect payments, and contract follow-ups for social services and LSS operations. Additional reports included processing times for disability support, aftercare for children aged 13-17, the elder care annual report, and health protection oversight in care homes.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council noted a compilation of delegation decisions, including an opinion regarding a building permit to convert an office building at Herrgården 1 in Älvsjö into a school and preschool. The district administration did not object to the permit but expressed reservations about the need for more preschool places in the area, questioned a permanent permit during ongoing planning work, and highlighted the nearby subway expansion.

The City Council was informed that three citizen proposals have now been answered. These proposals concerned relocating deer, establishing a dog park at Långbro Park, and improving parking at Älvsjö IP.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council reviewed the July 2026 monthly report. The report projected a deficit of 2.4 million SEK before transfers, but a surplus of 1.1 million SEK after transfers. The council decided to file the report, meaning the information was noted and no further action was taken.
