Agenda items
The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council proposes extending the agreement with Djur & Kul i Stockholm AB, allowing them to continue operating Aspudden's animal-focused park playground until September 2028. This ensures residents can keep visiting and participating in animal activities. A follow-up shows the operation meets contractual requirements, though minor issues regarding insurance and sales permits will be addressed.
The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council proposes allocating SEK 1,481,850 in operational grants to 27 local associations for 2026. Sannadals Sportklubb and OK Älvsjö Örby were denied funding as their activities fall under the responsibility of the Sports Council. These grants aim to strengthen community life, offer residents activities and cultural events, and encourage engagement.
Two citizens proposed converting a privately owned property in Långbro park into parkland, possibly through a land exchange, to protect cultural heritage and prevent housing. The district administration supports incorporating the property into the park but defers land exchange matters to the development office. The City Planning Committee has already rejected townhouses on the property, instead favoring public use like a café, thus partially addressing the citizens' proposal.
A citizen proposed opening an independent art workshop for preschool children in Marievik. The Hägersten-Älvsjö district administration supports the idea but suggests placing it in Solberga instead, to ensure more equitable opportunities for children across the entire district. The administration will now investigate costs and find suitable premises to start the operation.
The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council addressed three citizen proposals. A suggestion for notice boards in Hägersten will be sent for further investigation. Two other proposals, one for a playground at Vantörsvägen/Ada Nilsson's street (deemed recently renovated) and another for a memorial site in Fruängen (which falls under the Traffic Administration's responsibility), will receive administrative responses rather than further investigation.
The Social Services Committee and the Hägersten Älvsjö District Committee are planning a new service residence for individuals with disabilities in the Fader Bergström block in Hägersten. The residence will comprise twelve apartments with a common room and is expected to be completed in 2028. This initiative aims to reduce the shortage of such housing in Stockholm and the estimated annual rent is approximately 1.8 million Swedish kronor.
A motion proposed that the City of Stockholm acquire land in Långbro Park, specifically the privately owned Lågbron 1 property, to preserve its natural and cultural values, countering plans for twelve townhouses and a café. The Moderate Party advocated for the city to purchase or exchange the land, potentially offering building rights elsewhere, to integrate it into the park. However, the City Executive Board rejected the proposal, deferring to the ongoing detailed development plan process.
Two Sweden Democrats politicians sought to halt multi-family housing construction in Älvsjö villa areas, arguing that the densification is destroying the district's green character. The City Executive Board and committees responded that densification is necessary to address the housing shortage and aligns with the city's comprehensive plan for a sustainable city with varied development, while still considering the area's character.
Gabriel Kroon (SD) and others proposed revising building plans for Telefonplan to reduce the number of high-rise buildings, arguing the current plan threatens cultural values, green spaces, and residents' quality of life, and referred to an alternative proposal from "Telefonplans vänner." The City Executive Board responded that the detailed planning is already incorporating these viewpoints regarding building height and cityscape, with a new review scheduled for later, while also emphasizing Stockholm's significant housing shortage.
The Sweden Democrats proposed halting plans for approximately 65 new apartments in five buildings within the Branterna park area of Mälarhöjden, citing high natural values and strong local opposition. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, emphasizing Stockholm's housing shortage, the project's role in connecting Mälarhöjden and Bredäng, and assuring a democratic and transparent planning process that will consider public feedback.
Micasa Fastigheter and the Hägersten-Älvsjö district administration are planning an extensive renovation and conversion of building C at Fruängsgården 1. This will transform Fruängsgården's service house into a care home with 97 apartments, an increase of 48 places, to meet Stockholm's growing need for elderly care. The project is estimated to be completed between 2029-2031, with an annual rental cost of 31.8 million SEK.
The City Council plans to renovate and rebuild the property Trehörningen 1 in Gröndal, Hägersten-Älvsjö. Currently, it's Trekanten service house with 100 apartments, but after the planned reconstruction (2027-2030), it will become a nursing home with approximately 92 places to meet the increasing need for elderly care in the district. Residents of the current service house will be offered priority for other accommodations.
Stockholm's City Executive Board has approved the consultation for a revised plan proposal in Fruängens centrum. This plan includes approximately 270 new homes, with 132 being rental units, and 2,500 sqm of new commercial premises. The project will also improve squares and streets, address issues with cloudbursts, and aims for occupancy in 2031.
The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council will appoint new members and deputies to its Pensioners' Council for 2026. This council, comprising five members and five deputies nominated by local senior organizations like PRO and SPF Seniorerna, serves as an important advisory body. It ensures older residents in Hägersten-Älvsjö have influence and insight into matters affecting their living conditions within the district.
The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council appointed a special group of members, in addition to the ordinary chair and vice-chair, to make rapid decisions concerning children and substance abusers. This applies to urgent matters, such as immediate child welfare interventions or placement in sheltered housing, that cannot await a regular council meeting. The purpose is to ensure crucial decisions can be made promptly, even during weekends and holidays.
The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council is to appoint five members and four alternates to the social delegation for 2026, including a chair and vice-chair. This delegation is a crucial part of the council, making decisions concerning individual citizens' personal or financial circumstances under laws such as the Social Services Act, LSS, and LVU, directly impacting residents who require support and care.
