Hägersten-Älvsjö

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council approved the administration's statement in response to the City Audit's 2025 annual report. While the audit found the council generally managed its finances well and that accounts were correct, it highlighted insufficient internal controls in areas such as foster care placements, medication management in residences, and handling of protected personal data, offering recommendations for improvement. The council acknowledged these findings and stated they are working on the identified issues, though the Sweden Democrats reserved their position, expressing concern that serious deficiencies, particularly within foster care, persist from previous years.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council approved the first quarterly report for 2026, forecasting achievement of 27 out of 28 self-set goals and all 12 City Council goals, with an expected surplus of SEK 1.1 million. The decision also included budget adjustments, applications for increased democracy and investment funds, and reallocation of funds from labor market measures to financial assistance, and from council administration to urban environment. The Sweden Democrats entered a reservation against the decision, demanding rejection of the administration's proposal.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council approved a statement responding to a citizen proposal to develop a small park along Tomträttsvägen. While the traffic department could not implement traffic calming measures due to already low traffic and good safety, the administration will continue discussions on parking and will add seating and barbecue facilities to the park.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council approved the administration's report concerning a citizen proposal for a memorial in Fruängen, dedicated to a boy shot there in 2025. The council decided that the administration should continue discussions with the traffic department and the proposers to enhance safety at the location, for instance through lighting, artistic decoration, or greenery, with a follow-up report to the council.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council addressed six citizen proposals. The council decided that the administration should investigate a proposal for tennis courts, while proposals regarding a dog park at Långbro Park and relocating deer will be answered directly by the administration. Other proposals were forwarded to relevant authorities: pedestrian and bicycle paths on Årstabron to the Traffic Committee, green infrastructure between nature reserves to the City Planning Committee (with a directive for the administration to relay the response), and free parking at Älvsjö IP to Stockholm Parking AB.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council reviewed a report on unexecuted decisions under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) for Q1 2026. The administration had reported 29 such decisions to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO), along with 10 additional decisions that were closed without execution and 18 that were executed. The council decided to file the report, meaning the information was noted.

A motion suggested Stockholm City investigate if the work tunnels in the new Östberga tunnel, built for storm drainage, could be used as shelters or protected spaces. The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council reject the motion, stating that the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency determines shelter needs and requirements, and the city should await their guidelines before further investigations.

The Property Committee approved a status report for the construction of Bäverdalen Sports Hall in Rågsved, part of the Älvsjö 1:1 property. However, the Moderates and Liberals issued a separate statement expressing concern over the project's delay from a Q3 2026 completion to Q4 2027, along with budget overruns necessitating a new procurement process. They stressed the importance of cost control, clear follow-up, and transparency for future sports hall projects.

The Real Estate Committee approved the direction for the technical upgrade of Hägerstensåsen Community Centre, tasking the Real Estate Department with continued project planning. The Moderates and Sweden Democrats lodged a reservation, requesting the matter be returned to investigate rental consequences, alternative leasing models, and the impact on home care service premises.

Jonas Naddebo (C) submitted a motion to the municipal council proposing to transform Södertäljevägen into a vibrant city street with more housing, including covering Södertäljevägen, Essingeleden, and the bus depot to build up to 7,700 homes. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that the existing planning program should be used when work resumes, as Naddebo’s proposals are currently considered too extensive and costly.

The Sweden Democrats proposed that the municipality halt plans for approximately 140 new homes in Klubbensborgsbacken, Mälarhöjden, arguing the project would destroy the area's character, nature, and ecological balance while reducing public access. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, emphasizing the importance of housing construction and the need to follow the democratic planning process, which includes addressing public consultation feedback before making further decisions.

Gabriel Kroon and Mats Johnsson (both SD) submitted a motion proposing the city halt plans for new housing in Långbroparken, specifically at Lågbron 1, arguing it would destroy parkland and advocating for the existing café to be preserved. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by noting the importance of housing development in Stockholm, but also that the ongoing detailed development plan for Lågbron 1 has already been amended to remove housing, now focusing on creating a public amenity like a café.

Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) propose that the City of Stockholm investigate its own involvement in the operations at the former boys' home Eolshäll, where boys were subjected to abuse. They also suggest the city investigate compensatory measures for victims, inspired by the Norwegian "rettferdsvederlag" model. However, the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be addressed by referring to previous investigations and believes the issue of responsibility and compensation is best investigated at the national level.

Dennis Wedin (M) has proposed that the Exploitation Committee be tasked with finding a long-term solution, including a consolidated clubhouse location, for the 1400-member Örnsbergs Kanotsällskap, which has faced issues since their Gröndal clubhouse was demolished in 2018 and currently has a demolition contract on Reimersholme. While several committees and the City Executive Office state they are already actively working on the matter and thus see no need for a new directive, the opposition believes progress has been too slow.

Councilor Johan Nilsson (M) proposes that the City of Stockholm acquire or exchange land to protect the natural and cultural values of Långbro Park. This aims to prevent a private property owner from building approximately twelve townhouses on the Lågbron 1 property, which historically was part of the park. Nilsson advocates for Lågbron 1 to be integrated into Långbro Park, with the city offering the property owner an alternative plot for the housing development.

The City Council is poised to approve plans to convert Building C at Fruängsgården 1 in Fruängen into a larger care home with 97 apartments, replacing the existing 41-unit service house which will be phased out due to decreased demand. This renovation, expected to run from 2030 to 2031, aims to address the city's growing need for care facilities, with current residents being relocated during construction.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve the renovation and conversion of Trehörningen 1 in Gröndal, currently Trekanten service house with 100 apartments, into a nursing and care home with 92 apartments. This will take place between 2027 and 2030, as the service house is being phased out due to extensive renovation needs and an increased demand for nursing and care places. Current residents will be offered priority for other housing options.

The City Executive Board proposes that Trekanten in Hägersten-Älvsjö be established as a 20.4-hectare biotope protection area to safeguard the lake, its shores, and the forest south of the lake, aiming to preserve and enhance biodiversity, particularly for the rich bat fauna. Liberalerna and Centerpartiet have reserved against the proposal, arguing the protection is too extensive and may limit urban development and public safety within the recreational area.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council adopt a detailed plan for Sothönan 3 and others in Aspudden, enabling about 220 new tenant-owner apartments, ground-floor commercial spaces, and a new square, street, and park. This plan, which aims to expand Aspudden's center and integrate new buildings with the area's 20th-century architecture, has undergone several adjustments after appeals, including reducing apartments from approximately 250 to 220 and modifying building volumes to increase distance from neighboring properties.

The Municipal Council will consider a proposal to adopt a detailed plan for a new subway depot in Älvsjö industrial area, essential for the planned Yellow line between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö. This depot will manage train maintenance and stabling, and includes rock tunnels for turn-around tracks, partly under Hagsätraskogen nature reserve, along with measures for cloudburst management. The City Executive Board proposes that the Municipal Council adopts the detailed plan.
