Hässelby-Vällingby

The City Planning Administration proposes a new detailed plan for a portion of Hässelby villastad 28:1 and others, near Backlöksvägen/Asplövsgränd. This plan allows for three new multi-family buildings while preserving the existing forest grove and the continuous park area with a sledding hill. The public is invited to a consultation between May 19 and June 29, 2026, with a meeting on June 8 at Backluraskolan to ask questions and provide feedback.

The Moderate Party, Christian Democrats, Liberals, and Centre Party inquired about the effects of insourcing operations within the Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council. The administration responded, confirming they have insourced two operations: the Starbogården day centre for the elderly and Spegeln, a daily activity centre under the LSS Act, together comprising 44 places. The administration assesses that quality has improved, particularly at Starbogården which is now Silvia-certified and LGBTQ-diplomaed, and cost development is in line with expectations.

The Moderates in Hässelby-Vällingby raised concerns about the neglected state of Karl Bonde forest, citing fallen trees and dense undergrowth affecting accessibility and safety. While the administration agrees on the forest's importance and plans some clearing near paths and entrances to improve visibility, most of the forest will be managed less intensively to protect its significant ecological value and protected species. The "Greener Stockholm" project will enhance entrances and biodiversity, with completion expected in 2027, but other areas in the district are prioritized for safety improvements.

The Centre Party proposed that Hässelby-Vällingby's recreation library, which lends sports and outdoor equipment, should join the national association Fritidsbanken to be more efficient and beneficial for residents. However, the Hässelby-Vällingby district administration has not investigated this possibility, held no discussions, and believes affiliation would increase costs. The administration recommends filing the proposal.

The minutes from the joint council for disability issues in the Bromma and Hässelby-Vällingby district committees, dated April 21, 2026, are to be reported to the Hässelby-Vällingby District Committee. The meeting discussed topics such as accessibility in the new House of Opportunities in Mariehäll, the design of accessible barbecue areas in Kyrkhamn-Riddersvik, and how to strengthen the participation of people with disabilities in the district administrations' work.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board will review a report on social service decisions that could not be implemented during the first quarter of 2026. This includes 18 unfulfilled decisions in disability and social psychiatry (under LSS and SoL) and 11 unfulfilled decisions in elderly care (under SoL). Reasons for these unfulfilled decisions vary, including clients declining or having specific requests, as well as a lack of available placements.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will receive information regarding an application for the City of Stockholm Quality Award 2026. Home care providers Kälvesta, Vinsta, and Åkermyntan, part of the administration's elderly and disability department, are participating in the award. The aim is to recognize and reward successful operational development that improves quality and service for Stockholm residents, particularly within elderly care.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council is set to approve the administration's report on the 2026 Preschool Survey. The survey shows 91 percent of parents are satisfied with preschools in the district, an increase from last year and on par with or above the city average in most areas. The administration proposes that the analysis, highlighting improved safety and strong interest in sustainable development, be filed.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board is set to address a consultation response regarding the revision of the City of Stockholm's cultural strategy program. While the administration supports the program's aim to provide optimal opportunities for residents to engage with and create culture, it proposes that the program should specifically include target groups such as individuals under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS), social psychiatry clients, and newly arrived immigrants to ensure culture is part of every Stockholmer's daily life.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will consider a citizen proposal regarding the removal of stickers. The proposal suggests that sports clubs whose stickers litter the district, especially around Fyrspannsgatan with Djurgården stickers, should cover the cleaning costs. The District Administration proposes that the council approve forwarding the matter to the Traffic Administration, as they are responsible for graffiti removal and sticker clean-up in public outdoor spaces.

The Hässelby-Vällingby district council will review a citizen proposal to fence the dog park at Melonparken, as the submitter believes few dogs can run unleashed there without risking running onto the footpath and that dogs need larger areas for free play. The district administration plans to place the first new dog park in the western part of the district for even distribution but will consider the request regarding Melonparken in its ongoing work to add more dog parks.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will address a citizen proposal to close or restrict access to the road leading to Nälstaskolan's staff parking. A citizen believes that car traffic on Trolle Bondes Gata creates an unsafe and hazardous situation for children at the start and end of the school day, as many parents drive into the staff parking lot to drop off their children close to the school. The District Administration proposes that the council approves their official statement and forwards the matter to the Traffic Office and SISAB, as they lack authority over streets and school properties.

A 12-year-old citizen proposed that the Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board build a large concrete skatepark at Oxtungan playground. The City District Administration thanks the citizen for the suggestion and will incorporate the idea of a skatepark into future work developing outdoor environments, especially within the initiative for prioritized outer city areas, which includes Hässelby Gård.

The Hässelby-Vällingby district administration proposes that the district committee approves an upgrade of Hässelängen playground in Hässelby gård. The project, costing 18 million SEK and set for completion in 2027, aims to enhance accessibility, safety, and pleasantness through new activities, improved social areas, and strengthened natural values, based on resident feedback for benches, lighting, and new features.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will address the City Audit's Annual Report for 2025. The report, which reviews the council's operations, finances, and internal controls, largely found the activities to be appropriate and economically satisfactory. However, it recommends improvements in payroll management, inventory control, and sample checks within elderly care.

A motion has been put forth to protect Carl Bonde's Forest in Hässelby from development and designate it as a municipal nature reserve, driven by residents' concerns over potential construction on the recreational area. However, the City Executive Board proposes addressing the motion by referring to ongoing work on a new comprehensive plan and a policy for natural area protection, thus declining to exempt the forest from development at this time.

The City Executive Board proposes establishing Kyrkhamn-Riddersvik as a new nature reserve in the Hässelby-Vällingby district. Covering approximately 137.9 hectares, the reserve aims to preserve its high natural, cultural, and recreational values while improving accessibility for outdoor activities through new paths, signage, and rest areas. Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will be responsible for the reserve's operational costs, excluding properties and public roads.

The Municipal Executive Board's Senior Citizens' Council noted incoming documents, including minutes from previous meetings, and discussed an action plan for an age-friendly city focusing on participation, collaboration, and accessibility for Stockholm's elderly. The Council was also informed about an invitation from Region Stockholm to participate in a survey on digital prescription renewal, aimed at improving residents' digital interaction with healthcare.

At the Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council meeting on April 23, 2026, new alternate members were appointed to the city district administration's pensioner council. Wivian Lindberg was appointed as an alternate for the National Organization of Pensioners (PRO) and Barbro Erlandsson as an alternate for the Swedish Pensioners' Association (SPF).

Divisional Manager Marie Lissäng reported no new complaints since the last Pensioners' Council, though the Security Service reported six incidents concerning key issues and personal alarms. The ordering unit for elderly care is now also available at Vällingby Health Centre, and upcoming events like the district competition and politician interrogations were announced, where citizens can ask questions about home care, nursing homes, and other elderly care matters.
