Hägersten-Älvsjö

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council approved the administration's service statement regarding the "Action Plan for a Gender-Equal Stockholm 2030," forwarding it to the City Executive Board as a referral response. This plan aims to ensure equal rights and opportunities for all Stockholmers, regardless of gender, until 2030. While approved, the Moderates and Liberals entered a reservation, arguing the plan was too general, lacked clear goals and concrete measures, and didn't adequately address issues like men's violence against women or honor-related violence and oppression. The Sweden Democrats issued a separate statement questioning the plan's ideological underpinnings and emphasizing the importance of an individual perspective and concrete actions.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council approved the administration's report on introducing an activity requirement for individuals receiving social assistance, forwarding it to the City Executive Board as a referral response. This requirement, effective July 1, 2026, makes full-time employment the default, necessitating stronger collaboration between city committees, with the Labor Market Committee and Jobbtorg Stockholm jointly responsible for providing activities. While Moderaterna and Sverigedemokraterna welcomed the reform in separate statements, Moderaterna expressed concern over the lack of collaboration with civil society and businesses, and the absence of a deeper target group analysis.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council approved the administration's service statement regarding new guidelines for allocating places in special housing under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS). These previously missing guidelines aim to clarify responsibilities between the social administration and district administrations, ensuring equal treatment and legal certainty. Despite administrative concerns regarding prioritization of acute needs over queue time, a six-month offer deadline, and ambiguity concerning initiators of placement requests outside the Act on System of Choice (LOV), the council submitted the statement to the City Executive Board.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council approved sending a statement to the city executive board regarding updated guidelines for financial assistance. These new guidelines, to be adapted to legislative and practical changes since 2017, will focus on areas requiring city council decisions, such as deviations from national rules. The Moderates, Liberals, and Sweden Democrats reserved their positions, arguing the guidelines weaken work incentives and criticizing the granting of assistance to individuals without legal right of residence in Sweden.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council approved the administration's report on a revised guideline for child safety in Stockholm's municipal preschools, forwarding it to the City Executive Board. The updated guideline aims to strengthen systematic and equitable child safety efforts, focusing on prevention and preparedness for serious incidents and crises. A minority reserved against the decision, proposing sharper measures against "mega-preschools," extended background checks for staff, and enhanced capacity to detect honor-based violence and manage welfare reports.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council approved the administration's response to the Centre Party's questions regarding the consequences of skilled worker expulsions. The administration emphasized that securing skilled labor is a significant challenge, particularly in elderly care, and expulsions could worsen staff shortages. However, it was noted that there are currently no indications of employees within the administration being affected by expulsion decisions, making a full assessment of the consequences difficult.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö District Council approved the administration's response to a letter from the Sweden Democrats regarding sexual offenses and other crimes within home care services. The administration stated they take national reports of such crimes seriously and are implementing systematic routines for recruitment, suitability assessments, and staff follow-up, including expanded background checks for new hires. They also have procedures to prevent, detect, and manage misconduct, and to make it easier for seniors and relatives to report concerns.

This Case Management-based support, which will be scientifically evaluated by Marie Cederschiöld University, is contingent on funding from the Swedish Inheritance Fund. Sara Grolander (MP), Max Otterman (S) et al., and Maria Ljuslin (V) made a special statement emphasizing collaboration to combat isolation and prevent ill-health among young people.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council approved the administration's proposal to revise the local routine for Lex Sarah.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council approved a proposal to place a new litter bin in Gröndal this year.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council approved the administration's statement in response to a citizen proposal for improving the beach at Trekanten in Liljeholmen.

However, the desire to improve the bathing area will be incorporated into future work.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council approved a proposal to address safety concerns at Enbacksparken in Midsommarkransen.

To improve safety for park visitors, a traffic barrier and a sign indicating the path is for pedestrians and cyclists will be installed.

The Hägersten-Älvsjö district council reviewed ten citizen proposals submitted between March 7 and April 2, 2026. Three proposals—regarding playgrounds at Svandammsparken and Sannadalsparken, and a park bench on Johan Skyttes väg—were sent for further investigation. The administration was tasked with directly responding to two other proposals concerning a pier at Myrberget and an open preschool in Gröndal. The remaining five proposals, addressing car traffic between Aspudden and Mälarhöjden, a roundabout at Sjöviksvägen-Sjöviksbacken, the area near Årstaberg station, Spårväg syd Älvsjö, and a bus stop at Örnbacken, were forwarded to the traffic committee or Region Stockholm's traffic administration as they fall under their jurisdiction.

The Sports Committee decided to task the administration with ordering a reconstruction of the Kämpinge school gymnasium.

The Real Estate Committee approved a status report for the Hagsätra ice and sports hall project at Hagsätra IP. Despite a positive construction start, the project faces budget and procurement challenges, a reduced area of approximately 2,000 square meters, and a delay of about one year. The committee requests a more detailed follow-up on remaining risks, rental consequences, timeline, and the effects of the project's changed scope in the next report.

The Real Estate Committee decided to approve the general direction for a new swimming and sports facility in Västertorp, at the Isprinsessan 5 property, and proposes that the City Council also approve this.
