Hässelby-Vällingby

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council will receive minutes from the Disability Council's meeting on May 19, 2026. The meeting included information on support for relatives, accessibility for the 2026 election in Hässelby-Vällingby and Bromma, and a project where summer youth will work as democracy ambassadors. The Disability Council also requested that the Service Department be invited to a future meeting to answer questions about accessibility adaptations.

The City Executive Board requested the Hässelby-Vällingby District Council to comment on a proposed city-wide functional description for cultural coordinators, aiming for a more uniform role with clearer responsibilities to increase residents' access to culture, especially in preschools, open leisure activities, elderly care, and LSS. The District Council agreed with the proposal but suggested cultural coordinators also actively reach out to underrepresented groups, for instance by collaborating with outreach functions like leisure guides and "district mothers."

A citizen proposal suggests creating a garden school and preparedness garden in Ridderviksparken to teach the public about growing vegetables and root crops, in light of Sweden's preparedness needs. While the Hässelby-Vällingby City District Administration supports the idea, they recommend the Traffic Administration, responsible for urban gardening coordination, handle the matter. They also note that Riddersviksparken is already planned and another location within the district might be more suitable for a garden school.

The Hässelby-Vällingby district council will review a citizen proposal to build a dog park at Johannelundstoppen, with the submitter arguing it's a suitable and much-needed location. The district administration has noted the request for a dog park in Vinsta as it works to achieve a more even distribution of dog parks throughout the area.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board will review the administration's response to a letter from the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party regarding the safety of business owners and entrepreneurs in the area. The administration outlines several initiatives, including outreach to affected businesses with police, safety walks, preventive work against youth crime by field assistants, and the hiring of a business developer to improve dialogue with local businesses.

The Hässelby-Vällingby district administration is to comment on a proposed detailed plan for the Floden 1 property, among others, in Råcksta and Nälsta. This plan aims to enable the construction of a gas-insulated switchgear and modify an existing detailed plan to create a new property. The administration notes a reduction in building volume but still desires improved design, including a tree screen to obscure the switchgear and its fence, and coordination of green compensatory measures for felled trees.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board will review a proposed detailed development plan for the Åkertisteln 2 property in Kälvesta, aiming to enable the construction of a semi-detached house, creating two new homes. The district administration has no objections, even though an older, culturally significant outbuilding will be demolished as it cannot be preserved.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council will provide feedback on a proposal from the City Executive Board to update how economic assistance funds are distributed among the city districts. The proposal uses new market values from 2022 and reduces the number of attractiveness groups from eight to six for a fairer distribution. The Council supports the proposal but stresses the need for continuous monitoring and suggests future reviews include a broader analysis of how well the model reflects actual needs.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will review a statement regarding the report "Preschool in Stockholm 2025," which outlines quality in the city's preschools. The district administration agrees with the report's identified areas for development, such as the need for licensed preschool teachers and good staffing levels. They also note that they already meet city goals for group sizes and child-to-staff ratios, and are addressing decreasing child numbers and their economic impact.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council will consider a citizen proposal to upgrade the outdoor environment at the Guldet adventure playground in Grimsta, specifically targeting older children and teenagers (approx. 8-16 years). The proposal includes features like a parkour track, climbing wall, outdoor gym, and social areas. The administration suggests approving the service statement, meaning these suggestions will be incorporated into future development plans for the district's outdoor environments, as Guldet adventure playground is slated for a longer-term upgrade after other ongoing playground projects are completed.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board will address a citizen proposal for increased sanitation and cleaning in the district. The proposal emphasizes a clean and pleasant urban environment and suggests combining cleaning efforts with work-preparatory activities for individuals receiving financial assistance. The administration proposes the board approve its statement, explaining that sanitation work is already ongoing and initiatives like "Stockholm Hosts" combine cleaning with labor market measures for job seekers.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council will review a citizen proposal to convert a gravel pitch in Hässelby gård into a dog park, citing its infrequent use for football and frequent use by dog owners. The administration proposes acknowledging the suggestion and stating that they conducted a review of dog parks in 2023, with plans for additional facilities to ensure a more even distribution within the district, and will consider this request in their ongoing work.

A citizen proposed that Hässelby-Vällingby district administration should partner with companies like Veteranpoolen to offer seniors help with snow removal and gardening, in addition to home care, to combat social isolation. The administration considers these services outside the scope of home care and that such collaborations would require public procurement. Furthermore, they note that similar services are already available privately with RUT deductions, and they already offer several initiatives to combat social isolation among seniors.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council will consider approving revised internal procedures covering feedback and complaints, goal setting and follow-up, deviation management in improvement efforts, and local Lex Sarah routines. The aim is to update and enhance these procedures to ensure high quality, legal certainty, and efficiency, ultimately benefiting the district's residents.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board is set to approve the July 2026 monthly report. While the administration expects the budget to be balanced overall, it notes some deviations, including a projected 6 million SEK deficit in elder care due to increased costs for nursing homes, offset by lower costs for financial assistance.

A motion by Anders Edin (SD) proposes to protect Carl Bonde's forest in Hässelby from development and designate it as a municipal nature reserve, addressing local concerns about the recreational forest being built upon. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered by referring to ongoing work on a strategy for nature protection and a new comprehensive plan, believing that a balanced approach to conservation and development is achievable in the area.

The National Property Board briefed the council on plans for the renovation and expansion of the Royal Swedish Opera, detailing the appearance and use of the new sections.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board approved the administration's report as its opinion on the local plan for part of the Hässelby villastad 28:1 property near Backlöksvägen/Asplövsgränd, despite objections. The Moderates and Liberals dissented, criticizing the development of the green space and inadequate infrastructure, while the Sweden Democrats also dissented, arguing against any construction on the currently recreational woodland and criticizing the low parking standards.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council decided that the administration should investigate and respond to two written proposals. One, submitted by the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party, concerned the safety of entrepreneurs in Hässelby-Vällingby, while the other, from the Centre Party, addressed allotment gardens and urban farming.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council addressed a response regarding a letter from the Moderates, Christian Democrats, Liberals, and Centre Party about taking back outsourced operations. The administration reported that they had brought two operations back in-house during the mandate period, noting positive quality development and cost development in line with expectations. The council decided to note the information and take no further action.
